You can tell that all of the incredibly talented actors at the table are absolutely in awe of this man and rightly so.
Gary Oldman was the perfect actor for this role.
I love Gary Oldman. One of the best actors of our time.
All time.
100%
Tom Hanks, Gary Oldman, Willem Dafoe --- The 3 actors i admired most here
Gary Oldman is a fucking legend.
The interviewer is clearly unhappy about the positive picture painted of Churchill. Oldman puts it into context to the interviewer's chagrin.
omg... Hanks, Oldman, Dafoe, Rockwell...? fuuucckkk I can't wait for the full upload of this table lol
ashley sterling amazing
agree completely with you Gary Oldman...I too admire that man Winston Churchill, I admire him for so many reasons! And you numered some of them.
I also like your work in so many movies! Thank you for your excellence!
Now that’s a good round table
For me, Oldman and Hopkins are without equal in this profession. Simply stunning talent.
I would like to add Daniel Day-Lewis to that list if you would be so kind. It’s tough to touch those three actors in any venue any role
@@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078all three of them. I call them the Trinity. Hopkins (father) , Oldman (the son) Day Lewis (holy spirit)
Excellent film, excellent performance by Gary Oldman. Kristen Scott Thomas was excellent too. Also makes one pine for politicians who listened to their people. A great man.
Tom Hanks is like "Wow, I'm sitting at the same table as Gary Oldman.'
Just seen darkest hour and was amazed at Gary's his acting wow .
Love Gary Oldman.
Me too. Big fan
he was perfect for Winston Churchill's character, he would be the big surprise in Oscars
Gary Oldman is truly one our finest actors; what a fine body of work he has accomplished.
I can sit and listen to this man for hours I love his accent
this film is EXTRAORDINARY! Chapeau to Gary Oldman, marvelous, marvelous performance, thank you.
Churchill was well hersed in world politics much sooner than the age of 65. he was right beside the people that were pulling the puppets strings long before that.He stepped down/across to that step with the intention of pulling on the strings.And actually making a diffrence. Great! Great! man.
Brilliant round table experience.
There is some talent around that table.....4 of the very finest, Oldman ,Rockwell , Hanks ,Defoe
I'm distracted by Willem Dafoe's awesome head of hair. It's just so full and youthful. But of course, hearing Gary Oldman speak about his role as Churchill is awesome too.
Great background on Churchill' writings and art exhibits.
Just watched " Darkest Hour" again yesterday..... Gary portrayed Churchill as a human being weighed down with the absolute insanity of the situation he had been " placed in" & was magnificent with a well deserved Oscar.... which of course should've gone to Churchill for basically saving Europe from Hitler.....MAJOR RESPECT to them both!
Churchill was an amazing writer and speaker. He loved people. When EVERYONE thought Hitler, was a joke, he warned them about him. When Chamberlain signed in Munich, he was one of the only people who opened criticized the Agreement, even though that wasn't the popular point of view. He warned everyone about Stalin, too. He wrote articles against racism and anti-Semitism back in the 1920s. For comparison, our fucking American President can't condemn Nazis and what they stand for today and Churchill was condemning them back in the 1920s! He pushed and pushed for America to get in the war. You could say he single-handedly saved the world from the Nazis because if he never existed, we may have lost WWII. When the Nazis bombed England, he walked out to the bombed areas and helped to reconstruct to give his people courage. THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM. WE DON'T HAVE LEADERS LIKE THIS ANYMORE.
He also mass starved over a million people because of his intense xenophobia.
Void point. If food supply was cut off from the British Isles they would have been forced to surrender. Then the Indians would have been at the complete mercy of imperial Japan, a much worse fate I think we can agree.
Natalya Chamberlain picked the only sensible option.
War against Germany in 1936 or 1938 would have mean defeat.
UK would have had no allies, no empire or commonwealth, and most importantly the population of the UK would no have supported a war with Germany in 36/38.
Natalya The allies in 38/39 desperately needed the Soviet union to join them in the "grand alliance" Churchill personally spoke to the Soviet ambassador to gain their support in a European war.
Natalya Roosevelt treatment of Jesse Owen was a discracefull. Hitler on the over hand sent Owen a congratulation note and even smiled and waved at him.
Lets not pretend that US presidents in history are paragons of virtue.
I just finished watching the movie and I think this is the best performance i´ve ever seen in my life. There are other great ones but this is right up there with the incomparable. His performance, passion, genius and ability to caputure the true churchill are truly unrivaled
I agree
I'm just waiting for the whole thing to be uploaded
you dnot realise what a wealth of actor you have till you see them all together bravo
when do we get the full upload?
I have yet to see Oldman's performance, but Timothy Spall gave the most fascinating churchill on screen that I have ever seen, in the king's speech, even though he had little screen time
Gary Oldman is the most versatile, chameleonic actor on the planet. Non-negotiable.
OMG! look at this line up!
Where is the full discussion
give us the whole thing THR... cmon.
This table reunited Norman and Harry Osborn.
Churchill War Rooms is a must see in London. Also the Imperial War Museum!
I want to write a movie about three lonely guys sitting at a bar talking about their life starring Sam Rockwell, Willem Dafoe, and Woody Harrelson
Great Performance Gary Oldman for Churchill.The Best Actor Oscar 2018
Holy shit Oldman and Dafoe, two of the best actors going.
One of my favourite actor!😉
My God, Gary Oldman pegged Churchill better than anyone. A brilliant actor.
"You cannot reason with a tiger, when your head is in its mouth."
oh, This weird host is back
I loathe Stephen Galloway as the moderator. His tone is always snide and condescending and he THINKS he is the smartest guy at the table every time. True to form, he feels it’s his duty to “inform” Oldman that people in England have mixed feelings about Churchill, assuming that Oldman isn’t intelligent enough to understand that himself. Plus it is rude of him to insult the Churchill character that Oldman has poured months of blood, sweat and tears into researching and acting. I just love Oldman’s comeback, rattling off a laundry list of Churchill’s accomplishments. Look who got schooled.
Churchill-The greatest PM we ever had 🇬🇧
If he dont get the Oscar for Churchill I'd say we riot
A great great great performance of Gary Oldman... He actually incarnated the giant called Churchill!!!!
Great to see Sam Rockwell among these guys.
I remember the original, brilliant man, took the nation thru the war!
I'd like to have seen Brando play Churchill
Gary is singular..and im not even talking about doing Churchill.
I’d put Timothée Chalamet or Daniel Kaluuya in this table instead of John Boyega... James Franco is passable.
Lucas Sebá exactly
But then they wouldn't have their token person of color
I think the opposite. I feel Boyega might one day earn that place at the table. Franco just seems like s schlub that got seated at the wrong table and is too embarrassed to stand up to find the kids table.
Ok. So i'm going to see "Dark hours " today.
1:20 James Franco be like "yes, uh huh" :->
yes as below he should have one an Oscar for Tinker Taylor Solder Spy
James Franco doesn’t need to be there
William Manchester, THE LAST LION: WINSTON CHURCHILL, ALONE 1932-40. Greatest biography I've ever read.
Hold up,did I just notice James Franco there?
Did he not mention Brendan Gleason as Churchill?????
This table of actors remind me of that old Sesame Street game/jingle where they showed you a bunch of objects and you had to point to which one doesn’t belong with the others.
James Franco. Obviously.
Simon Ward played the role of Winston Churchill in Young Winston not Robert Hardy.
Gary Oldman: The greatest actor who could have portrayed Churchill, who was the greatest savior (to that point) of Western Civilization.
anyone thinks Sam Rockwell looks a lot like young Gary Oldman?
Isabella Durilee me
He look like gary oldman
ahhahaha, absolutely...for years..
Sam looks like Gary now lol. Young Gary is on another level 😍😍😍😍
Everyone's read a couple of dodgy facebook posts and is suddenly a Churchill biographer.
Stannis Baratheon
SoWonderfullyWeird Churchill's knees were bending
He played artist James Sutherland in the crown to, he painted churchills retirement portrait.
I have had the privilege of working with Mr. Oldman, of sharing a meal and more than a few stories with him. He is as engaging a human being as he is an artist. Which makes this comment so difficult to write. History has seen fit to distort the truth surrounding Mr. Churchill for reasons that are hard to discern. Does the truth obstruct their narrative? Is it because the truth would make for a terrible commercial enterprise? No matter.
What saddens me is that I am sure Mr. Oldman did his due diligence, as it relates to the research he conducted to portray Mr, Churchill. What saddens me more deeply, though, is that there is so much bad history out there that even a scrupulous person would be so abjectly misdirected from the truth that is so contrary to the life he portrayed, adding an insane momentum to a runaway train that needs no assistance.
Read this piece, as an introduction to what I am suggesting

PARKLIFE
The piece is written by RICHARD SEYMOUR , a Marxist, Churchill didnt like communists, and they dont like him
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 the best❤
David Irving has a book
Give Gary Oldman the Oscar!
& Nominate Tom Hanks.
Why is John Boyega there?
Detroit
And nominate Timothee Chalamet
that kid get potential , let him sit in those kind of table around great actors
Because he is a great actor. Why nominate Hanks? He wasn't anything special in The Post.
give oscar only to the make up man....
Why is James Franco there?
Because he had a great performance.
Difficult to believe that Gary Oldman played Zorg in Fifth Element, Gordon in Batman and Winston Churchill. That range is about as diverse as it gets.
he is one actor i would love to direct in any movie as long as i got to tell a story with him and if he doesn't win the oscar for Darkest hour its a fucking travesty
I heard Churchill also said/authorized/ordered some fucked up shit as well, even for all his otherwise greatness. I think we should take the whole truth, not just the good parts. You learn better from it, I think. And you can still acknowledge accomplishments even if you also acknowledge the ugly parts of the truth too ;)
Can still remember him as Commissioner Jim Gordon....hell...I didn't even know it was him until towards the end of that movie.
I hope Gary wins an Oscar. His Churchill is the highest point of masteryю He deserved it. Chalamet is far from this, sorry ....
Agreed
I forgot Franco was in attendance "CRINGE"
Why the fuck is Franco here..........
A true artist should always be on the side of good, otherwise he/she would be just a puppet.
Churchill would appreciate this.
Stimmt
Sam Rockwell great question
"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place." - W.Churchill
Dont know who won the oscar for best supporting actor the year leon the professional came out but it must have been an incredible performance to have been better than Gary in that film
Up
....ffs ... are people here saying he shouldn't have fought Hirler ????
John Lithgow >
great writer , painter , politician and a mass murderer.
No disrespect at all but what is John Boyega doing there lol he's not getting any award buzz nor is respected or that accomplished (yet) in Hollywood?
Well it is what he did to prepare for war early on and how he rallied the country. He had flaws like we all do, but he was the leader England needed and the world needed to fight a war against tyranny
He allied with tyranny by backing the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939.
@@markharrison2544 ?
Well to British people he is a Legend. He did a lot for his country but to other people he was very mean . Product of his time but he didn't change at all. To call him Incomparable would be an overstatement. Same thing, Gandhi would be incomparable to all the Indians( at least most of them) but to the British administration at that time, I bet there would be nothing but hate towards him.
Oldman is the best Churchill second only to the real one.
Gary Oldman, if you read the truth about Churchill you'd soon change your mind. "He's Incomparable" by his utter rottenness.
James Franco doesn’t belong in that group. Outclassed
Suggest that people read up on despicable attitude and policies Churchill presided over in dealing with Ireland during early part of 20th century and also how he behaved towards M.K. Gandhi. Admire the actors playing the man but not the man himself.
3 of these actors belong on this round table. others do not.
Well, I actually enjoyed this. It wasn't political, it was an interesting actor's take on preparing for a huge role. I will subscribe and watch future clips until they go political.

Biscuit game
These people who give Churchill shit for being unable to help india need to grow up, unfortunately running a country during a war is hard and one must prioritise their country over others. Also if you failed to notice we had rations and were struggling with food, stop being so arrogant and entitled.
@me hee The famine happened because the British were illegally occupying India and stealing its resources.
From a 1916 letter written by Winston Churchill about the ongoing First World War:‘I think a curse should rest on me - because I love this war. I know it’s smashing and shattering the lives of thousands every moment, and yet, I can’t help it, I enjoy every second of it’.
There's your hero.
Doesn't mean he wasn't a hero or a good person. That's a thing many soldiers go through. Even the most heroic and kindest among them.
That quote is from somebody who delighted in the massacre of a generation and was thrilled by warfare. That's not a good person and it's not a hero.
Fuck Churchill. This man is pure evil.
@@DeepScreenAnalysis You have obviously never worn a uniform
I swear to god if timothee Charlemet or anybody steals this Oscar from Gary, I’m going to burn their house down
Kylio Vert Fuck that guy! Give Oldman his Oscar before Gary becomes an actual Old Man and can’t act!
Daniel Day Lewis has a movie out this year.....
The body of work counts more than the individual performance, it's been like this for a long while. I think Gary will definitely win.
Делаю победы Олдмену и Дэфо
