Iron Lady is a movie I started watching on a quiet day home alone via Netflix. This movie is about Margret Thatcher the first female prime Minister of England, aka the United Kingdom. As an American teenager, I don’t know a lot about the British governent and how it works, and actually I am pretty in the dark about the more recent history of England. This movie is set after her serving as prime mister but has flashbacks of her time before becoming Prime Minister and during her term serving. The movie shows Margret in her young life, from her humble beginnings, working at a family buisness, and then getting accepted into Oxford College. She then becomes a member of the conservative party, and attends a dinner meeting filled with men, little does she know this is where she meets her future husband Denis.
Fast forward to when there is some violence, Airey Neave (who worked with Margret) is killed by the Irish National Liberation Army, with a bomb fixed under is car. This starts to get into Margret Thatchers struggle with the IRA (Irish Rebublican Army) and the INLA (Irish National Liberation Army) Of course this isn’t how the issue really started, I think it was a problem before this happened.
During the movie we find out the since Margret is older, and starting to lose some of her memory, she turns out to start thinking her husband Denis is still alive at times, when in reality he has passed on. Margret will talk to Denis about things and go through his things, which is where we get the flashbacks.
The movie tied everyhting together really nicely, making sure that viewers weren’t confused by the flashbacks. The only thing I would say is that you should learn a little bit about margret thatcherand what was happenng around the time of 2000’s – 2013 and the 70’s in England, if you’re a person who doesn’t now a lot about British history like me.
Overall Rating? On a scale from 1-10 I give this movie a solid 7.5, just because I felt that they could have cleared up Margrets past a littl bit better, or maybe even have some narrate the movie? I do recommend you watch this movie if you have a Netlfix account though!
Bonus: Snack Idea!
For this movie if your feeling a bit hungry, try tea and scones if you can! It’s probably a little general, but still fun! 🙂
