“I have seen a lot of bad movies. Iu0026#39;ve seen a lot of movies that revise history. Never before in my life have I seen a movie that I deemed so atrocious and disgusting that I felt the need to write a user review on IMDb. Until now.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eChurchill takes one of this centuryu0026#39;s greatest men and turns him into a caricature. For all the amazing, courageous, and poetic things Winston Churchill did in his life, this movie makes no mention. Instead, it portrays him as a senile buffoon who fights against the plans for D-Day as nothing more than a bumbling idiot, when in actuality he was one of the leading men trying to get it to take place. He was a hero, not just in Britain but all over the western free world. I imagine there will be a lot of people offended and deeply upset by this portrayal. Thatu0026#39;s not the sad part, though.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe sad part is that people who do not know actual history will go into this movie and watch it, and come out thinking this was the real man. This movie is a character, reputation, and legacy assassination of one of the greatest men this world has known, flawed as he was. Tell everyone you know that has seen this movie to research him on their own and draw their own conclusions about his life. I implore you. Donu0026#39;t let these awful writers ruin a manu0026#39;s legacy on a whim.”
