  • We really need him right now.

  • The United Kingdom to me is a lot like the United States of America.

    They had their reign over the worlds influence, for a lot longer than the United States as in seems they are reaching their demise.

  • this  movie is pretty awesome

  • i saw stalin in this trailer! haha

  • @SyberiaDreams

    I bet you're the type of guy that fancies his own kids.

  • Chris Matthews described Churchill as the "man who save[d] the honor of the 20th century." Rather than this great accolade, Winston Churchill must be ranked with Karl Marx, Woodrow Wilson, Vladimir Lenin, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt as one of the destroyers of the values and greatness of Western civilization.

  • @SyberiaDreams

    Suggest you read a little more Max Hastings and a little less David Irving.

  • Janet McTeer is a wonderful and terribly underated actress, she is a Broadway star and did an indpendent film called: "Tumbleweeds", check it out if you're a fan!

  • One thing for sure He knew the Jews were being slutered and did nothing!!

  • @nrutal he was horrified of the persecution of the jews as far back as 1937. when he learned of the conditions of Auschwitz in 1944 he pressed for bomber command to bomb the railtracks leading to the camp to slow down the deportation of jews. bomber command felt that the risks of such a raid deep inot Nazi Germany were too high so nothing was done

  • @nrutal @manfilledwithhate man filled is right when the evidence started to come out that this was happening he tried to have bombs dropped on tracks and stations to delay the executions but notice I say delay because what could he do britain was under siege by constant attacks at sea and air the only way britain could fight back was by bombing germany sending in spies and helping rebels when d day happened and briatin america canada were in europe not much could be done because of resistence

  • three fucking argentinians dislike. 

  • 3 nazis are jealous on churchill's awesomnest

  • fucking pirates, imperialist, pigs

  • Is it just me or does everyone get chills when they wach this?

  • brendan gleeson for the win :P

  • WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD ABOUT THIS!!!?

  • How come Brendan Gleesons' name didn't get a mention in this trailer and the woman did?? He did play the lead....

  • @diarmaidruane1 his name appears just before hers ;)

  • whats the music from this trailer?

  • @CymruAlteran anyone?

  • I still don't understand wht he wasn't reelected for prime minister, he was a great leader...

  • @psymaster1234 - He truly was a remarkable man, my favourite figure in History and my greatest inspiration. However, although he was the man for the war, he wasn't the man to rebuild Britain afterwards. He didn't believe in the welfare state, and lost a lot of popularity when he compared the Labour Party to the Gestapo. But even though Clement Attlee's Labour Party won in 1945, he was elected again in 1951 :)

  • @Tangetastic Yeah, but apart from some memorable speeches, his second term as prime minister was only a shadow of his first. He seems to have slept through much of the later part of it.

  • @lexo30 well be fair he was never going to live up to his first what ever he did as for him sleeping not sure that is all true maybe at the end after his strokes also he was a lot older remember he was not young in the 39 - 45

  • I would have liked this show better if it had been a mini series rather than a clip show of his life in the war. It almost made no sense as a story to me. It had its good parts.

  • Im American and trust me not all of us think the invasion was our "Baby"? The only reason Americans take great pride in the landings is because we lost the most men in the invasion and Americans are PROUD of the sacrafice. Not all Americans are ignorant and chest beating bafoons...

  • Churchill was not only the savior of britain but the whole world. Because he alone stood up against overwhelming odds and his fanatical insistance to never give up he opened up the chances for America and Russia to win the war with Britain. If there was ever a man so incredible and true, it would have to be jesus. God save this man, and thats coming from an American born and raised, God bless the USA and God save the King.

  • @Mumakil42 That's not true, you see England had funded Hitler, they betrayed after telling him to invade Poland. Throughout the war Ford and GM factories across the Reich were not bombed to prolong the war. Churchill was a good man, he was duped by the Monarchy, even the prince of wales was fond of hitler and the Eugenics agenda.

  • I like it when he says ''FACK''

  • Churchill's great contributions to Britain's victory was first and foremost his determination to fight the Germans by every means possible no matter the cost. Secondly, it was to articulate Britain's fortitude and determination to win. Thirdly, it was to get as much US aid as he could. Fourthly, it was to embrace Stalin and give no thought of making a deal with Hitler against Stalin, which many anticommunists would have like and still like. Otherwise Churchill made one mistake after another.

  • The Churchill is adequate. The actors who played Roosevelt and George VI are superb--the best I have ever seen.

    Vis Churchill, the lesson of life he teaches is be nice to EVERYONE; you never know how important they'll be in the future. Churchill had snobbed Roosevelt during the 1918 War, treating him badly. Result, that even though they worked together to save us all from the Nazi butchers, Roosevelt never really like Churchill and C was dependent on him.

  • @ButtErBaLL619

    Arrogant comment, but true

  • Without the USA, the Germans "might" have been able to take Britain in 1940, but by 1941, though damaged, Britain seems with US aid and financing to have gained control of the situation. By the winter of 40-41, Hitler's roving eye had turned to Russia. And I think that Russia and the British Empire MIGHT just have been able to pull it off without the USA if necessary. The German retreat before Moscow in Dec 41, occurring before the US entered the war was a sign of what was to come for Germany.

  • I hate to burst your bubble, but the Germans were defeated in the battle of Britain and called off any invasion of England......BEFORE America even joined the war.

    Do you know who really defeated the Germans? Britain, America, Canada, Russia, Free French together.

    So quit acting like you saved the world cos u didnt, you didnt even do the most......the Russians did

    Mind you American Education......i guess they teach u that garbage dont they?

  • Comment removed

  • If the Germans could have taken Britain, they would have. They turned their attention away from Britain because they were defeated.

    Thats a fact.

  • Hitler made an error by starting a war with Soviets too soon. He got too confident in his ability.

    But I'm glad that he made that mistake.

  • @bekajan Oh your glad? because the soviets won the war, created the USSR and threatened the world with utter destruction. They plunged half of Europe into darkness behind the iron curtain and built nuclear bombs to destroy us all. The world almost came to an end a bunch of times because of this. Oh yeah, so glad Hitler made that mistake.

    In an idea world they would have let Germany and Russia battle it out and destroy each other. Thus eradicating the communists and the Nazis in one fell swoop.

  • @Octavian88mtl I'm no friend of Soviet Russia, but if anyone "won" the Second World War it was the USA. The US entered the war as combatants later than almost everybody else, thereby losing fewer casualties than almost all the other major combatant nations (Yugoslavia had more military deaths than the USA) and the war boosted the US economy to a huge degree, not least in postwar debt repayments. The USSR had more than nine million military casualties alone.

  • @Octavian88mtl Just to clarify, I'm not saying that the USA won the war for everybody else; I'm saying that they suffered proportionately less than pretty much everybody else and got far more out of the outcome of the war than the USSR did. The USSR ended up fighting a ruinously expensive cold war which the USA partly feared and partly encouraged, because it was in US interests to ensure that the USSR poured money into weaponry instead of having a strong economy and a democratic society.

  • @lexo30

    The thing is.....If the USSR hadnt of gained ground....The entire German

  • @lexo30

    GAH posted too early :P

    any way the entire German army (baring in mind much more German troops were on the eastern front than the western) would of come crashing down on you.....And then the rest of the allies would of been crushed....I am British and I even admit that the Russians won the ENTIRE war...

  • @spudnick3490 - You misunderstand me. I'm not saying that the Russians weren't the ones who beat the Germans, because they were. I'm saying that the Americans were, nevertheless, the ones who won the war. The Russians paid the highest price, and did more than any other nation to defeat the chief enemy (in Europe at any rate) but I still maintain that they 'won' nothing. Their victory was pyrrhic; compare what they ended up with, compared to what the USA ended up with, and tell me it's not true.

  • @lexo30

    Okay I can see where the problem lies....It lies in our own idea of what winning is....You think it is if you gain from the war....I think it is in defeating your opponent..Soo I guess this is irrelevent :P

  • @spudnick3490 It's all very well beating your opponent, but the fact remains that the Germans had a spectacular economic transformation after the war and became the major industrial power in Europe, and Britain didn't.

  • @lexo30

    Economic transformation?

    Im sorry what? It was split into two for years and ripped apart... Britain didn't become what it is today because of the second world war...It was because of the dissolving of the empire...And we (as a island nation) relied on over seas trading and naval supremacy for centuries...Now that the world is much smaller and we don't have the empire...We are useless..

  • @spudnick3490 I should have specified 'the West Germans' and, indeed, Austrians. They even had a word for it: Wirtschaftwunder, German for 'economic miracle'. They went from total devastation to being the leading economic power in Europe in about thirty years. And the British empire dissolved partly, if not largely as a result of transformation brought about by WW2. If you're nostalgic for your empire, I feel sorry for you; it was built on exploitation and force.

  • @lexo30

    Every single empire in our history was formed with exploitation and force...Thats life...You shouldn't be under the illusion that an empire can be forged through happiness... I am proud of my country... And im guessing you don't like the empire because you scottish..and you think you have some sort of duty to hate everything British..Well guess what..Im not English..Im northern Irish... No empire can last for ever...And our empire fell because of time..not world war 2

  • @spudnick3490 Guess again, friend: I'm half-Irish and half-English. My dislike of empire is not based upon nationalism or bigotry but upon moral principle. And if you think that WW2 had nothing to do with the collapse of the British empire, you need to learn more of your own history.

  • @lexo30

    LOL What the fuck world do you live in.There are no "moral pinciples" anymore...Its just tossed around the world so people may be seen as the "good guy"...And no mate...You need to learn more about history... WW2 had nothing to do with our empire.It was inevitable.It began with Ireland and then 3rd and 4th world countries started to think about independence.If they hadn't of thought about independence then WW2 would of affected our empire later on. As our economy would eventually break

  • @spudnick3490 WW2 had a lot to do with the collapse of your empire: enough people in countries like India, Australia and Canada wondered why they were fighting Britain's war. It's no coincidence that the struggle for Indian independence peaked during and after WW2. If you really think that 'there are no "moral principles" anymore', remind me never to lend you money. But while states are almost motivated solely by self-interest, people are free to be slightly more complicated.

  • @spudnick3490 Nothing in history is 'inevitable' - things happen because people made certain decisions and conditions were a certain way because of previous decisions by others. Calling the collapse of the British empire 'inevitable' lets Britain off the hook. I'm half-English, remember, and not a mindless Brit-hater. But it's like that bit in Ulysses where the English guy tries to evade the guilt of British colonialism by saying 'It seems history is to blame' - it doesn't mean anything.

  • @lexo30

  • @lexo30 its not...

  • @lexo30 hell no the allies won the war the uk the usa russia free france and free poland and a ton of others who were on the allied side no one country won the war without the uk the invasion would never have worked without the usa we would not have had the equiment and without russia we would not have had most of the german army fighting them instead of being in normandy

  • @wolf99000 I'm not accusing various allies not pulling their weight. Of course the British did a huge amount to stop the blitzkrieg, and if they hadn't stopped the Germans from invading then the Americans might have taken a longer time to enter. I'm talking about who emerged as a real winner - who walked off with the spoils. On that count, the USSR and Poland suffered most and won least, and the USA suffered least and won most. The British and French were somewhere in the middle.

  • @lexo30 well lets talk about why usa first you came out if good because the war never touched the usa mainland then after the usa built its whole boom time after ww2 on the war debts the uk and others had to pay them

    being honest everyone walked off with spoils the lot of us usa uk russia even france who took part of the german steal manufacturing areas to pay war debts while the rest of us took there best tech and scientists

  • @wolf99000 having read a ton on churchill I do know one thing if the usa president had listened to him more in the end then the ussr even patton was telling him we should drive on to moscow in 1945 before his death

    but really no one won ww2 everyone lost by there just being a war and what we known was done and what came next with the cold war

  • @lexo30 It's amazing we are still fighting about things like this 70 years later. The United Kingdom won the war by bravely holding out while the rest of Europe crumbled. The Russians won the war by destroying the greater part of the German armies in defence of their homeland. The Americans won the war by flooding in the effort needed to tip the balance and supporting everyone else. None of the these could have survived on their own and all won together, hence the name United Nations.

  • @BitingOsprey Americans even think that the Normandy invasion was their baby, when there were more non Americans involved than Americans, and it was planned and led by Field Marshall Montgomery. The facts escape them! But, as far as we are concerned, the Americans paid for the war. We were utterly bankrupt by 1942. The Yanks paid the bill and that entitled them in their own minds to take the glory.

  • I thought it was a bore!

    It is impossible for an actor to play great historical figures with conviction. The sole exception is Luther Adler who played Hitler in several films 50 years ago to perfection.

  • Whoever that was who played Stalin was fantastic... absolutely uncanny resemblance! Well done. A fine production.

  • I thought the bloke who played Stalin was not convincing at all.

  • Great film, great film indeed. what is the name of the trailer theme.

  • Gleeson is very good but Albert Finney should have done this one - he was absolutely magnificent in the gathering storm

  • Brendan Gleeson, at long last getting some recognition outside of Ireland and given lead roles. About time! He doesn't have hollywood good looks, but the man is a great actor. He should have played Michael Collins when younger as well, he looks the spitting image of the man.

  • He did play the part of Michael Collins in a 1991 TV series called "The Treaty".

  • Albert Finney should have played Winston. He was amazing in The Gathering Storm!

  • the stalin scenes should be good

  • inafterbors

  • ......I wanted....I sooooo SOOOOO WANTED Albert Finney to playu again as Churchill in this next installment.... :'( ...I feel bitterly crushed... :'''(

  • Albert Finney, wasn't he the actor who played Winston in the movie "The gathering storm"

  • yeah he was. google it. Did a very good job too. I think Brendan Glesson brings a slightly more focussed angle on the character, which is perhaps good for the war years Winston. Gives the impression he's finally found his calling. Dunno if that was intentional...

  • I think he is our only PM who stood with the Royal Family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace - 1:06.

  • everyone remembers winston for his heroics during the second world war. but hardly anyone remembers what he also did especally for my country, Ireland. when churchill met with rebel leader michael collins, both men hated eachother in the begining. but at the end they both became friends and just a short time before collins asassination he wrote to winston in which he writes. "winston we couldn't have done it without you".

  • I agree-Would that some of your compatriots also felt that way

  • watched this last night. Was different than I expected, but pretty good nonetheless :)

  • Churchill was the man

  • @caeser5786 Do you remember Gallipoli? HE became "the man", wasn't, and for short time. I prefere "the man of year" 1938 by TIMES Magazine...., he IS THE MAN!!!

    Now,President of BRAZIL is the man, by OBAMA, not Churchill, he still is the butcher of Gallipoli, do you remember Gallipoli? Sabaton did!!!!

  • No, because it was both one of the greatest wars in history, and one of the most terrible. At least we finally get to see things from Churchill's point of view, because we've really only seen the American and Jewish (sort of, but i'm not being racist) point of view. There are still many stories to be told from all points of view so that everyone finally knows all sides of the war, German, British, Russian, etc.

  • @persianking44 A bit of an anti-semite, huh?

    Do you imagine that Britain entered into this war for any other reason than self-preservation? EVERYONE knew the UK hadn't the wealth to win this war alone. We would need US help or lose it. It would mean the end of our Indian Empire. For 8 years, we had tried to tame Hitler--unilaterally junking treaties and using armed force is criminal. Hitler broke one treaty after another and attacked Poland. We had not alternative but to fight!

  • @persianking44 The best way to see the war from Churchill's point of view is to read his history of WWII. Not only is he the only major figure of WWII to write and collect all his memoirs, but they are so entertaining that I can't imagine anyone not liking them.

  • You are able to write and read in English as opposed to German or Japanese. Thank God and thank the American and British soldiers who fought and died so you could have the liberty to say such an ignorant thing.

  • He was great in "In Burges" and seems to be also good in this, even for those who may not be interested in Churchill.
