Iron Lady
Margaret Thatcher was the Prime Minister of England from 1979 to 1990. She was the longest-serving prime minister of England in the 20th century, and she was the only woman to ever be prime minister in England. She was elected to a third term in 1987 but her popularity decreased dramatically and by 1990; she was forced to resign due to the lack of support for her policies. This paper is an in-depth review of the film about her life, "The Iron Lady."
The Iron Lady - Background
In December, 2011, a film about the life and times of Margaret Thatcher was released by 20th Century Fox of the UK and The Weinstein Company in the United States. Phyllida Lloyd was the director; Damian Jones produced the film, and the screenplay was written by Abi Morgan. The woman that played Thatcher in Thatcher's younger years was Alexandra Roach. Meryl Streep played Thatcher, Thatcher's husband was played by Jim Broadbent; her most trusted and loyal cabinet member, Geoffrey Howe, was played by Anthony Head.
The film was not widely praised by critics, but Streep was nominated for an Academy Award and won (she had been nominated 17 times); the film also received an Academy Award for "Best Makeup," which is not hard to understand because Streep was made up to look amazingly like Thatcher. Her similarity to the former prime minister was remarkable.
