Darkest Hour is a movie set at the onset of World War II. The story follows Winston Churchill, played by Gary Oldman, as he is thrust into power as Prime Minister of Great Britain. I really enjoyed this one, being a history buff, and a lover of old war stories. The movie does a good job of demonstrating the turmoil within Britain and the world around it, as Churchill has to prepare his nation for a war, while it's leaders are in denial. Gary Oldman is one of my favorite actors and he transforms into Churchill like I never thought possible. I appreciated how the movie showed the many sides of Churchill and how an unlikely, even inconvenient, leader can sometimes rise to be the leader you need in that moment, against all odds.
