Peter Richardson actor: 玛克辛·皮克 / 拉塞尔·托维 …
Flame-haired Rebekah Brooks hitch-hikes from Warrington to London where media tycoon Rupert Murdoch immediately makes her CEO of tabloid paper The Sun, edited by Andy Coulson - affording her absolute power. As such there are no depths to which she will not sink to publish scurrilous exposes of the famous, whilst at the same time politician David Cameron crawls to Murdoch and his ferocious wife Wendi to be made prime minister. When Buckingham Palace complains about phone tapping Coulson finds a scapegoat - to the outrage of Guardian editor Alan Rusberger. Key muck-raker is the shabby Johnny Bristol but after Coulson goes too far, causing a suicide, he turns whistle blower on the Sun's phone tapping exploits. The red top is now under threat but , hey, this is the 70s after all (yes!) and whoever else she sacrifices, be it Rusberger, Coulson or actor husband Ross Kemp, Rebekah knows that she Will Survive.

二战时期,英国首相邱吉尔带领英国人民坚定顽强地同法西斯德国进行着旷日持久的战斗。这位叱垞风云的铁血首相,以固执顽强、永不退缩的作风而闻名。他那与其简陋外表极不相称的完美、煽动力极强的口才更是在历史上留下了浓重的一笔。因而历史上对于邱吉尔这一风云人物历史形象的真实性极富争议,猜测各异。 本片在史实的猜测上独僻蹊径,将二战人物重新包装演绎:年轻英俊的美国海军陆战队中尉邱吉尔、赶时髦的法西斯元凶希特勒以及他爱吃醋的情妇、小丑一般的部下,连同年老昏花的英国皇室们,众多耳熟能详的历史巨头集聚一堂,上演一幕"超级女生式"的PK战。 在啼笑皆非中,再次感受那个年代的风云变幻和儿女情长……

彼得·理查德森 actor: 艾迪·伊扎德
other title: Eddie Izzard - Glorious / Glorious
Eddie Izzard's finest hour (or two)... If you've never seen Eddie before, this is where to start. Eddie starts at the beginning of time (Biblically) and ends with Armageddon (out of here). On his way he covers the loophole in the great flood story, death and Death, the Trojan War, Bin Hood (he steals from the comfortable and gives to the moderately impoverished), machines and the end of the world. Izzard is an example of British humor at it's finest (and sometimes most surreal) taking his influences from the Goons, Tommy Cooper and Monty Python. He is, however, also very unique. No one else I know of rambles in the most entertaining way Eddie does, sometimes losing the plot himself.
