The Falklands Play (2002 TV Movie)
3/10
So one sided it almost defies the laws of physics
4 June 2002
I've seen this garbage twice now and I still can't believe how it's being promoted as a great guide to what went on behind the scenes.

Are we really supposed to believe that a world leader who has had Pinochet round for tea would seriously denounce Argentina as a corrupt country that brutally suppresses political dissent? This is practically a love letter to Margaret Thatcher! The writer has so obvious an agenda it ruins what could otherwise be seen as a great work of fiction.

It even manages to undermine it's own efforts to portray Thatcher in a more favourable light. Apparently it is true that she took the time to write letters to the next of kin of all the British fatalities. But then the writer goes and ruins it by showing more stupid scenes of Thatcher raving about Argentina's human rights record.

If you want to know the type of movie Goebbels may have written about Hitler's crushing of Polish aggression in 1939 you only have to watch this execrable pack of lies.

A remarkable piece of propoganda. Dreadful, dreadful rubbish.
