2017 film directed by Joe Wright

1945年7月26日被认为是英国选举历史上最令人震惊的一天。胜利凯旋的战时领袖温斯顿·丘吉尔和保守党在选举中大败而归。以前从未赢得过议会多数席位的在野党工党，在选举之中大获全胜。那是一个让人震惊并且完全出人意料的结果，并且此结果改变了英国政治历程。但在第二次世界大战之后声望如日中天的丘吉尔，为何会被由他带领着走向了胜利的人民所拒绝呢？为何那种拒绝是如此的彻底呢？集合了一群杰出的政治家，传记作者和作家，本片会探寻这样一个问题的答案：一位表面上声望已达到顶点的男人为何会如此戏剧性地被踢出权力之外呢？

This fascinating documentary will tell the story of that momentous day, 30 January 1965, when Britain laid its most famous statesman to rest. In the programme, Jeremy Paxman meets a wide range of people who were involved in the events of that day – from soldiers who bore the coffin, to members of Churchill’s family. He also hears from Boris Johnson, author of a new book on Churchill, and from a London docker who remembers that some had misgivings about saluting the passing coffin with their cranes. In exploring the legacy of Sir Winston’s extraordinary political life, Jeremy investigates what Churchill means to Britain today, half a century after our nation mourned the death of the man whom many still regard as Britain’s greatest statesman.

In this installment of the "Why We Fight" propaganda film series, we have the account of Great Britain's last stand against the forces of Nazi Germany. This mainly focuses on the desperate, but successful, battle to maintain their vital air superiority over the British Isles and the morale of the people to prevent invasion.

《我的早年生活》是丘吉尔依靠自己的记忆，根据一往的记录并仔细核对了事实真相，讲述了他从婴儿、学童、军校学员成长为一名少尉军官、战地记者和年轻政治家的经历，书中还再现了丘吉尔各年龄阶段相应的观点和看法。 概观全书，读者不难发现书中描绘的是一个已逝去的年代，通过丘吉尔人们可以看到变化中的社会：从社会性质、政治基础、战争、年轻人的世界观到价值体系等等。
