She struck me as being like a zombie; perfect hair, mask-like face, nothing human about her. My strong impression was that she was a victim of brain-washing. She defended the local dictator who had just carried out some massacre.<br /><br />- AangirfanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-62489665584305212492012-01-12T16:47:54.136+00:002012-01-12T16:47:54.136+00:00Thanks for your comment Dean.

Obviously I disagree with you as I feel the maker was sensitive in showing the effects of old age for many.<br /><br />It has done what I thought though - made the younger generations aware how isolating and distressing growing old can be regardless of class or money. Why shouldn't Margaret Thatcher be used to highlight this? Would you have been so appalled if it was my neighbour's struggle with dementia? Possibly not because she only ran her own business for 40 years.<br /><br />Anything that highlights the despair etc of old age is not morbid, although the young may think so.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-73197609226684826282012-01-12T15:19:58.013+00:002012-01-12T15:19:58.013+00:00I saw the film, and I was utterly disgusted by it....I saw the film, and I was utterly disgusted by it.<br /><br />It was a gross violation into the personal sufferings of an elderly lady no longer capable of defending herself. <br /><br />Besides, what was the film trying to prove? Okay, she has alzheimers. What are they trying to prove with that? <br /><br />It wasn't primarily an exploration of her politics. Nor was it really about what drove her as a person (only flirting with the role of her father as an influencing figure ... and NOTHING on her religious upbringing which was DECISIVE).<br /><br />All it was was a film fit for those fascinated by morbid curiosity. <br /><br />Disgusting. I want my money back. <br /><br />And for pitys sake, leave Mrs T alone, she is no longer Iron. She is just a vulnerable elderly lady. <br /><br />And has anyone even thought about what this will do to her family and friends? Seeing her decline paraded about for NO reason whatsoever?Dean MacKinnon-Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221192592535723681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-35322363689098432422012-01-12T13:58:34.273+00:002012-01-12T13:58:34.273+00:00You may well find that when watching Meryl Streep ...You may well find that when watching Meryl Streep you actually think you're watching Margaret Thatcher Brian.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-9671938976527097352012-01-12T13:25:32.791+00:002012-01-12T13:25:32.791+00:00It's the concluding part of a triptych (like T...It's the concluding part of a triptych (like Three Colours, Red, White and Blue) on British politics that began with the Comic Strip's "Miner's Strike" and "The Hunt for Tony Blair".<br />I've not seen the film yet but I was very impressed by Miranda Richardson's portrayal of the under-rated Barbara Castle in "Made in Dagenham".Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358349301959327747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-24378997666538183332012-01-12T09:57:09.222+00:002012-01-12T09:57:09.222+00:00I gave up watching that programme some years ago D...I gave up watching that programme some years ago Dioclese.

As Bill Turnbull repeatedly said to her "Shouldn't you actually see the film before you attack it?" Fair point, I thought.<br /><br />Dennis was always out of the limelight but it is often forgotten that he was Sir Dennis in his own right and a successful businessman, so she was already Lady Thatcher long before her baronetcy.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing the film myself.Dioclesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139646438543954337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-54378541258675777742012-01-12T01:25:25.917+00:002012-01-12T01:25:25.917+00:00I'd be interested to hear your opinion Bill.I'd be interested to hear your opinion Bill.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-39752311955415681012012-01-11T22:02:09.180+00:002012-01-11T22:02:09.180+00:00Interesting to read your review.
