The Real Iron Lady

The "Iron Lady" was a thoroughly disappointing movie from a historical perspective.  Instead of a movie that provided a tribute to an incredible, brilliant, and accomplished woman, Hollywood focused on the last days of Margaret Thatcher struggling with loneliness, sadness, and dementia.  Typical of socialist Hollywood.

In the alternative, may I offer just a few brief videos of the real Iron Lady, Prime Minister of Great Britain Margaret Thatcher at her finest:

It's not "socialist" just because a biopic chose to focus some of its time on the human side of a person and wasn't a puff piece for conservative ideology.

From what I hear and read, it offends many the left for being too soft and making her seem too sympathetic and human.

Which tells me they probably got it just about right.

No single 2 hours can ever capture the breadth and depth of an entire career, let alone an entire life. And this perspective, from the vantage point of the end of life, is a very typical prism through which many movies allow us to see their subject.

Why is it for some that anything short of boosterism and propaganda is seen as bias? Bizarre.
