Lord Mountbatten Mandalay the best Voice

[@TheOReport1994]

I've always loved this speech, and delivery from the actor.

[@the.watcher.on.the.wall..]

At the British 60th anniversary/celebration of Victory in Japan day (VJ day) Charles Dance (this actor) reads the full version of this poem at the ceremony in. Front of the veterans and the royal family. It Wass a amazing such a powerful and poignant Performance. The following is a link to the video of that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ61pWhmrN6Ugsksi=GhirTUCAXT_C48m-

On the road to Mandalay, Where the flyin'-fishes play, An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the Bay!

[@originalsainthood]

It’s moments like this that truly make The Crown remarkable. I feel like the show peaked in season four, while seasons five and six delved too deeply into the Charles and Diana storyline. It started to feel more like a soap opera. But those first four seasons, especially with Claire Foy, Matt Smith, Vanessa Kirby, and then Olivia Colman, really shine. I think some of the best episodes of the entire series come from this era. I do wonder why Peter Morgan took seasons five and six in the direction he did, focusing more on Charles and Diana than on the Queen herself. Even though Charles was destined to become king, Elizabeth was still the reigning monarch-and the show is called The Crown. I’m not sure if that shift was a decision by Netflix or something Morgan always planned, but it’s those earlier seasons that made me fall in love with the series.

[@FormerGovernmentHuman]

I’m assuming you are older but in case I am wrong, do you not remember how absolutely bat 💩 insane the media and women across the world went for Diana? Especially after her death, it was huge, you heard about it for a couple of years constantly. The speculation and divorce was probably top 10 biggest tabloid moments, with her death probably top 5. So I am sure the idea was to capitalize on that back story to get as much hype as possible for the later seasons, and bring in more American viewers who for the most part remember that era of the monarchy more than any other.

It has been said, and quite fairly I think, that Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten was The Last Victorian. He would have been happier if he'd died at Khartoum next to 'Chinese' Gordon rather than face and even assist with the Retreat From Empire.

The British Empire remains the bedrock of Western Civilization and despite its many cracks, gargantuan holes in fact - it still stands the test of time. I come from a nation briefly occupied by the British but even I cant help but feel the depths of history touched by the Empire that never sets. Lord Mountbatten was a noble through and through.

[@F1fan4eva]

@@taylor9131 Well of course everyone wishes to live in the riches we once did. But a few alive today realise we got there by stealing from 50+ colonies across the globe. Oh, and about the things we left behind? I pray you not be so naive. We didn't leave those things out of charity. We put them there for our use and "left" them behind because we couldn't ship them back to the island kingdom once done. We installed those as means of efficiently moving around our colonialist and exploitative administrators and soldiers within the colonies. We, alongside other dynasties across the channel in mainland Europe, eradicated the local cultures and languages so we could colonise the lands whilst stripping them of their right to self determination. Where we couldn't replace the local populations, we used violence to keep our firm grip on them for as long as we could, and simply sucked the resources dry before leaving or being forced out due to changing geopolitics post WWII.

At one time, the British Empire represented 80% of the world's economy! 80 PER CENT!! Almost every government in the entire world is based on the British system! The British literally gave the world order, rule of law, and quite literally, CIVILIZATION itself! There is not a place on earth where a man can go and not find mankind better off than if the British Empire had never existed.
