For history fans, Margaret Thatcher is one of the most interesting of the British Prime Ministers. She is praised by both British and American conservatives for her firm principles and accomplishments of her term. Being so popular, it is only appropriate that a solid movie is made to detail the life of the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The film Iron Lady focuses on Thatcher (Meryl Streep) and her dementia(痴呆症), with certain items in her house reminding her of periods of her life, which then starts series of flashbacks. Thatcher also fantasizes about her husband, Denis (Jim Broadbent), and holds conversations with him throughout the film. In a world controlled by men and where women are thought to belong to the kitchen, Thatcher struggles to break through the barriers of sex to win a seat in Parliament(国会). Not only does she struggle with her sex, but being the daughter of a simple shopkeeper, she struggles with class barriers. After winning a seat in Parliament in 1959, Thatcher was appointed Secretary of State for Education and Science(SES). The film details how the leadership of her party didn’t take her or her opinions seriously. Thatcher became tired of being unheard and decided to challenge the leadership of the party and run for Leader of the Opposition. Not expecting to win the position, she took off in popularity, continuing a strong campaign even after her manager was killed by the Irish Republican Army. Thatcher, after the conservative party won a majority in Parliament, became the first woman Prime Minister of the UK. She took off in popularity until an economic decline hit the country. She regained popularity after the Falklands War. The film, in many cases, shows archive footage(资料片)to convey the historic timeline of the movie. The film does an excellent job in recording the complex life of one of Britain’s most complex women. It examines the price that Lady Thatcher paid for power, the class and sex struggles she overcame, and the burden of dementia. The film strikes an astonishingly dear portrait of the “Iron Lady” and will be sure to stand the test of time. 28. According to the passage, the film Iron Lady is mainly about__________. A. Margaret Thatcher and her dementia B. Thatcher’s principles and achievements C. the British Prime Minister’s interests D. Margaret Thatcher and her husband
29. When Thatcher worked as Secretary of SES, _________. A. her party took her and her opinions seriously tried hard to break through the barriers of sex C. she struggled to break through the class barriers D. she wasn’t respected by the leaders of her party 30. This passage is possibly a(n) ___________. A. autobiography B. political report C. film review D. life story 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the film Iron Lady? A. Negative B. Positive C. Disapproving D. Casual
