So I saw the movie Darkest Hour a little while ago, and I must say that this movie did surpass my expectations.
The movie follows Winston Churchill during the early days of him being Prime Minister during WWII.
The camera work is a star of it's own in this film. It is magnificently done, and there are so many interesting shots in this movie, it always keeps ahold of your attention. There are shots in this film that I haven't seen for a while in movies.
The acting was superb by all that were involved in this picture. Gary Oldman did a fantastic job as Winston Churchill.
The movie was dramatic when it needed to be and it was comedic when it needed to be, and it did it so very effectively.
The films music was a perfect match to the film itself. I also like that silence is also used. There seems to be a perfect blend of music and silence in this film, and I really appreciate the fact that they mastered it for this film.
The lighting fit the tone the film was going for. For the most part it was a bleak situation that they were going through and the lighting portrayed that well, and when there was the more happy scenes, the lighting was just bright enough to capture that moment.
If you like WWII movies, then you will probably like this one, and I would recommend that anyone should watch this movie. It really is worth the time to go to the theater and watch.
final score: 4.2/5
