The Falklands Play (2002 TV Movie)
1/10
Jingoistic Nonsense
3 December 2020
It's impossible to like this badly written overplayed garbage unless perhaps you are a member of the Conservative party or a military minded flag waving imperialist. Having lived through the time of the Falklands war It's important to remember that not everyone living here in the UK supported this. I did not and still do not. The appalling waste of human life cannot be forgiven which was sanctioned by an inept Tory government hell-bent on the economic destruction of its own citizens. This 'war' is widely supported as the reason of saving their party at the election booths. The scenes where Thatcher is portrayed as openly weeping over the news of servicemen deaths simply never happened and are pure fabrications. The only time this woman ever wept was when she was ousted from power by her own party tired of her out of touch policies. These scenes really grate on the nerves of anyone that lived under her yoke. It's a remarkably poor production and if you need to see a party political broadcast for the Conservative party then this is the only reason to watch it. Utter garbage from start to end.
