A veces basta una gran actuación, para que una película pase de ser buena a excelente, es el caso de este título, en que Gary Oldman encarna a Winston Churchill. Estrenada el 2017, siendo su director Joe Wright.
Sometimes a great performance is enough for a film to go from being good to excellent, such is the case of this title, in which Gary Oldman plays Winston Churchill. Released in 2017, its director is Joe Wright.
Sinopsis: En los inicios de la 2da guerra mundial, Winston Churchill asume como primer ministro británico. Al tener una personalidad excéntrica y tener una posición beligerante, lo hará enfrentar oposición, así como la duda de que camino debe tomar su país, respecto a la guerra.
Synopsis: At the beginning of World War II, Winston Churchill takes over as British Prime Minister. Having an eccentric personality and having a belligerent position, he will face opposition, as well as the doubt of which path his country should take, regarding the war.
En gran medida la trama gira sobre si se debe buscar un tratado de paz con Alemania, para evitar la guerra o enfrentarlos hasta el final; a su vez, se muestra un poco del caso de Dunkerque, donde mucha milicia aliada debe ser auxiliada en pocos días. Vemos esos primeros días como ministro de Churchill, teniendo que enfrentar la oposición mientras busca todas la vías para ejecutar sus planes.
To a great extent the plot revolves around whether to seek a peace treaty with Germany, to avoid war or to confront them to the end; at the same time, a little of the case of Dunkirk is shown, where many allied militia must be helped in a few days. We see those first days as Churchill's minister, having to face the opposition while looking for all ways to execute his plans.
Acompañado a lo dicho, se muestra la interacción con diversos personajes importantes en la historia de esos días, así como sus personas de apoyo, como es el caso de la encargada de tipear sus discursos. El ritmo es excelente, por lo que no genera desinterés en lo que ves. Un punto bueno, es como se va realizando la resolución del problema, cuando Churchill decide comunicarse con el pueblo y su pensar respecto a la guerra, tomando su decisión final.
Accompanying this, we see the interaction with various important characters in the history of those days, as well as his support people, as is the case of the person in charge of typing his speeches. The rhythm is excellent, so it does not generate disinterest in what you see. A good point is how the resolution of the problem is carried out, when Churchill decides to communicate with the people and their thoughts about the war, making his final decision.
Dicho esto, el gran punto positivo de la película es la actuación de Gary Oldman que logra transmitir al personaje, con muchos detalles que te sorprenden de inicio a fin. De lo mejor que he visto este año. La música y fotografía logra transmitir el tono oscuro del título. No ha sido necesaria una gran producción para los escenarios, pero cumplen lo aceptable. Me parece haber visto fallas en el cgi, pero poco importantes.
That said, the big plus point of the film is Gary Oldman's performance that manages to convey the character, with many details that surprise you from start to finish. One of the best I've seen this year. The music and photography manages to convey the dark tone of the title. It hasn't been necessary a great production for the scenery, but it is acceptable. I seem to have seen glitches in the cgi, but not major ones.
Si te interesa ver un ejemplar biopic de tan famoso personaje, como Winston Churchill, esta es tu película. Recomendable.
