Darkest Hour – Victory Sign

Last night, I was watching the Darkest Hour DVD.  It was interesting to watch what was going on with Winston Churchill’s activity day and night at War Rooms.

My favourite part of this film when Winston Churchill used Victory as a wrong sign while the press photographer took a photo of him.  Thanks to Miss Layton who corrected him in the next day.  “UP YOUR BUM” he was roared with laughing.

 

Gary Oldman played Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour.  He used a wrong sign of Victory which made me a laugh.

 

Lily James played Miss Elizabeth Layton who worked as a secretary for Winston Churchill.  She was the one who corrected him to use the right Victory sign.

I love this bit part of the film…”UP YOUR BUM” (another word for UP YOURS).

Finally, Winston Churchill used the correct Victory sign.  (See actual photo of Winston Churchill before and after)

 

 

I’m so proud that I have seen his home in Westerham, Kent. Worth a visit and believe me you will like it. Also, I went to the Churchill Wars Room in London, It was amazing and worth a visit!

I will post about The Chartwell, National Trust with photos of my trip last year.  If you are interested to visit his home in Westerham, Kent or Churchill War Rooms for information.  (see the link below)

History Films & Television

I love to watch any history films something like Elizabeth The Golden Age, Darkest Hour etc.  Have you heard about Mary, Queen of Scots film will be coming out in December this year?  I can’t wait to watch it as I need to learn more about Mary, Queen of Scots.  Is it true Mary, Queen of Scots actually met Queen Elizabeth I?  (I thought they haven’t met in a real life.)  Darkest Hour, I haven’t yet watch it as I believe Darkest Hour is the best film than any old films and I was so happy that Gary Oldman (played as Winston Churchill) won a few awards for Best Actor (Academy Award, Golden Globe Award and BAFTA Award). I hope Mary, Queen of Scots will get a nomination for the best film, actor or make up and hair (Fingers Crossed!)
