Iron Lady Movie Review

Iron Lady Movie Review

Again bringing you reviews for movies that aren't exactly new. Today I watched The Iron Lady from 2011.  I knew little of the background going into this movie. All I knew was the basic plot, Margaret Thatcher was trying to become the first female Prime Minister of Britain. So going in with knowing just that, I was amazed at what I came away with. I have to say if you have never heard of this person before you need to open the books, because she is a role model for everyone.

The movie was amazing how they took on the history of this women. Instead of showing the movie in a linear line. Its starts with Margaret well she is old, and shows her remembering bits of her life as she goes though her day to day life. I love the fact that even though she got so powerful, would take no nonsense from anyone, she still could be so relate able with everyone else.  The part that got me the most was when she took the time to write each and every family that lost a family member in the war, was just touching. I asked dad why the president doesn't do that, and he couldn't give an answer. That is what I think got me about Margaret. She could rule with an iron fist, but she never forgot what it was like to be on the bottom pole, hoping someone would put in a word for them.

This movie isn't an action packed thriller, so don't expect a fast paced movie. My dad was watching it with me so it was a history lesson inside of a history movie. I recommend watching it with your parents so they can go I remember that. I find that quite enjoyable. I rate this movie though  9 out of 10. I honestly loved it the movie, the acting, the way it was presented, It was just a really good film to watch. 

What do you think of this movie?
