Yet another biography movie of a historical figure for me this year. This time, its UK longest running female Prime Minister Magaret Thatcher portrayed by the ever talented Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady.
It's a bit ironic to have an American to portray a Britain leading role but Meryl Streep is the best I've seen. Her acting and dictation are just remarkable, acting 3 different stages of Lady's Thatcher's life.
The show revolved around her entry to the House of Common as the only lady member. Her strength and determination won the peoples heart and decided to run for leader.
Behind every great leader would be their other half, Dennis Thatcher played by Jim Broadbent. I love him in his role in Moulin Rouge and he's character has been a quirky one. Mr Thatcher supported his wife to rise of power and also takes care of her while she take care of the nation.
As the story revolved around Lady Thatcher in old age, dementia ruins her. Not knowing the present and past, it severed her relations with her children and even hallucinate the dead Dennis.
It is a strong movie portraying a steadfast leader with a great actress but political can either be boring or remarkable.
