Tumebledown 1988 Part 1

[@jacaranda2bloom]

Thank you for uploading this marvellous film. Colin Firth is magnificent. The way Thatcher and the establishment dealt with the injured Falklands veterans was a scandal, quite shocking. That makes this film even more powerful!

[@chrisholland7367]

The whole of the campaign was a scandal from start to finish the British came very close to losing

[@johnnunn8688]

Chris Holland, you’re funny.

[@chrisholland7367]

@@johnnunn8688 nothing funny about sending a task force thousands of miles to the south Atlantic to fight a war over a group of islands few people had heard of .Losing over 250 British service personnel and alot of hardware just to keep a certain prime minister in office.

@Justin Time I of course I agree with self determination that's why the UK is breaking away from the European union. Scotland may also decide to break away from union with the United kingdom.

I remember this when it first came out, I'm showing my age here... excellent film, excellent job by Colin Firth and in my opinion its one of the best films made about this brutal conflict........ Great Britain 1, Argentina 0.🇬🇧🇬🇧✌✌

[@FrancisRG]

Good movie. It's an honor for the soldiers of both sides that is starring by Colin Firth

My goodness! I remember watching this excellent drama on the A&E Channel back when they aired first rate programs! Young Colin Firth starred in it two years after his role in the miniseries ‘Lost Empires’.

I remember watching a documentary on the Falklands. Apparently, according to an Argentine soldier, they knew they were going to lose the war the moment they realized that British officers led their soldiers into battle - unlike their own commanders.

[@policero7371]

@Blob B you have to prove that.

[@TheChickenLine]

Argentinian Officers ran from Mt Longdon, Tumbledown...whilst leaving young conscript combatants to get killed or captured. This is documented by British Forces. Once Argentinian Marines realised that British Para’s were still advancing, even though the Argentinians had the massive advantages of Night Scopes, their officers and Marines, ran away.

[@TheChickenLine]

Los oficiales argentinos salieron de Mt Longdon, Tumbledown ... mientras dejaban a jóvenes combatientes conscriptos para matarlos o capturarlos. Esto está documentado por las fuerzas británicas. Una vez que los infantes de marina argentinos se dieron cuenta de que los parásitos británicos seguían avanzando, a pesar de que los argentinos tenían las ventajas masivas de Night Scopes, sus oficiales e infantes de marina, huyeron.

[@gilo1303]

Por favor alguien que lo subtitule al español. Gracias (lo solicito no para alimentar falsos odios, sino para disfrutar de un gran actor como Colin Firth)

[@garryharriman7349]

My favourite line in this classic telling of this story is this: 'You're in the RAF. Are you a flier?' 'No, I'm a doctor'. 'Well, look at this fist, it's about to give you your first fucking flying lesson!'

[@FILMCOLLECTOR16]

The programme was very controversial at the time in-fact so much so that it was cut for rudeness by the BBC and has never been shown uncut as the films character was very critical of the way the British Government handled the affair and treatment fellow service men after combat. And Rightly so!. Richard Hartley composed a Waltonesque score which has also never seen the light of day. What a shame.

The amount of Argie butthurt is over the top, you lost; deal with it. My country lost a war against the British too, so what, it's history.

[@thebearfuck]

I'm getting quite sick of the "tit-for-tat" remarks and the childish insults against one another. Politics aside, do people not realise the horror of this war? Do people not realise that almost 1000 soldiers perished as a result, with many more wounded? This movie doesn't celebrate or glorify war, in fact it just shows how futile, destructive and saddening it is, so why start childish internet fights over who won or who the islands belong to? Instead, how about you actually commit yourselves to the path to peace and reconciliation and sustainable development, because that is what will end conflicts. This is aimed at the Argentines, British and anyone who's here just to stir the pot.

[@barrelchange8502]

The shit keeps going because Argentina and Britain know of oil and minerals to be plundered. If this wasn't the case we would still think the Falklands were a Scottish island. My view is those who died in the war (RIP to both sides) died for a reason...... when did we ever see a military force fly and sail over 7000 miles to reclaim an island because a few people asked the British? why let so many die for an island with nothing to offer but sex tours molesting sheep?

[@barrelchange8502]

Kirk Caveat Mate, your missing a big point here......as long as money is to be made then people do not care, where money is concerned people have no friends, family, country, ect

[@barrelchange8502]

Monster LMA The very cynical side of me says different. Someone back then must have known of the wealth to be plundered. Would Zimbabwe for example have been reclaimed by Britain if it had natural wealth? I certainly dont buy into the 'the islanders asked for help' thing. The British goverment wont even listen or take care of the needs of servicemen and women, so listening to a few sheep lovers a few thousand miles away?

[@darrenbinns1827]

Monster LMA As an ex Scot's Guard we didn't, however Laurence had a bit of a flamboyant side to him by all accounts, and on run's that he lead he could belt out what he wanted, but your right its certainly not the rule.

[@Dario_Walter_Scavuzzo_Sviecka]

Parece una película norteamericana (pero con presupuesto ingles), en el sentido en que siempre son presentados a los protagonistas como héroes conflictivos, elegantes y desmesurados (oximoron), en este caso como una especie de "Mister Bean preñado por Rambo" con un toque de distinción y la locura de una estrella de rock inglesa, luchando "en inferioridad de condiciones" (típico yankee), contra una inmensa manada de feos (morenos), salvajes, cobardes y traicioneros enemigos... y claro, comparten con "jolibud" el "RIGOR HISTÓRICO" de los sucesos... como las películas de guerra gringas... "pura veracidad" ... claro que es ficción... pero así se sigue abonando al mito nacido en el 1700 de la "superioridad racial intrínseca" de los ciudadanos de los países imperiales... Mostrar menos

[@Cesar_Octavio]

Perfecto lo que decis. solo diria que estos anglosajones cobardes que solo van a las guerras con mil aliados para pelear contra uno, han esparcido el mito de que los anglosajones son la raza guerrera por excelencia. Aqui los tenemos de cuerpo entero: la tercer potencia naval del mundo, sexta potencia nuclear y militar, corriendo en busca de ayuda. Los resultados estan a la vista, los "valientes" y "bellos" ingleses fueron a la guerra apoyados por EE.UU., OTAN, CEE y Commonwealth contra una nación quebrada y bloqueada.

[@BigChris1998]

alberto5302 And the British won yeah??

[@Cesar_Octavio]

BigChris1998 Ganaron como ganan siempre, corriendo a buscar aliados poderosos como USA, NATO, CEE. En este caso, para enfrentar a una nación de segundo orden, quebrada económicamente, bloqueada por las grandes potencias y sola. Los británicos ganaron, sí, como ganan siempre. todos contra uno.

[@Dario_Walter_Scavuzzo_Sviecka]

imagínate si los perfide albion "casi" pierden con una nación militarmente de la 3º liga, (por algo clasificaron los informes de la batalla hasta ¡¡¡ 2050!!!), y tuvieron perdidas inmensas con un país, en esa época, muy debilitado, con armamento antiguo, ¡¡¡ fuimos a una guerra con 5 (cinco) misiles Exocet modernos !!!, calcula porque ahora se convirtieron en una colonia militar de EEUU... bueno, todo imperio tiene su época, y ahora son solo un pais de nietos sin temple gozando de las fortunas que hicieron los abuelos.

[@sebajerez6069]

En lo personal me choca como Robert Lawrence relata que mató a un soldado Argentino,que si le clavó la balloneta de un lado del otro,que el soldado Argentino le dijo "please",no me mate",los argentinos también mataron de la misma forma y no andan diciendo como,creo que Lawrence habla de resentido ya que su compañía fue toda aniquilada en Tumbledown,lo único que me consta de lawrence es que tiene la cabeza dura
