After long yearning I finally watched the movie Iron Lady with Meryl Steep’s splendid & magnificent performance played to utter perfection and sophistication and was definitely worth the watch, last night and got so thrilled and charged up that I not only watched it the next day again and enjoyed it even more but also researched about Margaret Thatcher even further. Meryl Streep undoubtedly has captured her fans hearts yet again with her flawless performance. And I say flawless because she was an absolute replica of Maggie which I found out with the documentary on youtube.
Well, most important I really want to highlight and touch upon is the ‘Iron Lady’. Perfectly apt was the word ‘Iron’ attached to this Lady as it described her character in a true sense. Fiercely ambitious and passionate with authoritarian views and no nonsense person she seemed to me. Sophisticated and intelligent were her looks and with a voice full of authority and that of a leader was not only inspiring but probably anybody would get on their toes. The decisions were finally hers with no opinions heard. She drew her lines as and when required and was highly criticized by her peers. Yes in the movie, the depiction of her character is said to be brutally touch upon but I guess the good is accompanied with bad and that’s true for her as well and what’s the point in having a movie on a contentious topic like Margaret Thatcher when the reality is amended. The true depiction of her with her insecurities and vulnerabilities, appealed to me because nobody is perfect at the end of the day!
