Only 64 years later, and the able hands behind the motion picture camera have thought to finally do yet another documentary drama of the life of Winston Churchill as Prime Minister of Great Britain during the period of World War II. The writers declared a "fresh" view and look into "different aspects" of Churchill's "character", and his "nature".
Churchill was a God save England, and God save the king and queen type of British leader. He was a patriot to the British people. He was an opponent of the British Labour Party, and that's where the Christian viewer might look to draw the line within this modern "fresh" look of his life at the hands of HBO, especially with some of the ideas the writers speak of Churchill's character in the special features section.
In essence, Into The Storm is a modern 'politically correct' version of Churchill's ministry. Churchill is portrayed at times as backward and ignorant in his beliefs against the ideas of a socialist welfare state, a type of state the Labour Party was fighting for politically. Even Churchill's wife Clemme was used in the politically correct ploy to portray Winston at odds even with her character involving liberal ideas of socialism.
The writers did preserve though, Churchill's deeply hurt reaction at U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's warmth to Joseph Stalin's demands for Poland at the Yalta Conference, a conference which handed over east Berlin, Poland, and many traditionally Christian nations in middle Europe to Communist Russia's control almost overnight when the war ended.
Churchill was one of those western leaders who well understood the threat of socialist idealism and the beginning threat of Stalin's Communist Russia at the end of World War II. Socialists both in America and Europe had built up such a pristine image of Uncle Joe (Joseph Stalin), and had helped build the armies and resources of Stalin's Russia in battling Nazi Germany at such great a trust, that to consider Russia a threat right after the war was seen by many as politically incorrect for the times.
The HBO writers still took pains in trying to show Churchill as a war-monger in contrast to the supposed good socialist ideas of his wife, and of certain leaders within the British government, like Lord Halifax.
As much as the writers apparently would like us to view Churchill as somewhat 'mad' in some sorts because of supposed eccentric behaviour, like smoking cigars and enjoying brandy, beware the goal in doing that is to contrast Churchill's stand against the ideas of socialist idealism against his honor of king and country, and to those who knew what it meant to fight for freedom and victory.
Also, don't forget the commentaries of the writer framing the British royal families and aristocracy with the supposed biological evolutionary mistakes that come from inter-breeding, speech impediments, bum legs and all the like (totally preposterous ideas of course, since these same socialist thinkers don't see the same problem among small tribes of Indians that bred among distant relatives of their own). There has long been attacks upon the idea of a monarchy type system of government by tenets of socialism. The reason is because a monarchy of king and queen which has ultimate political control of a nation is the most difficult type of nation for socialists to overthrow by take over from within.
