No matter the character, she simply inhabits the person she's playing. She completely disappears and let's the character speak, and evolve right before our eyes! I am blessed to be alive at the same time she is. What a gifted actor! Aren't we all lucky to see her perform? 🌟
The amazing thing about Meryl is her ability to become whoever she portrays, so that we no longer see her, but her character through hard work, talent, imagination.
The most remarkable performance. It is not easy to perpetuate such a unique, strong personality. i have seen clips of the movie,and cannot wait to see the movie in full. Amazing performance Meryl.
As an American who lived in the UK (1984-1987) under Thatcher while she was still in office, it was VERY interesting for me to watch The Iron Lady, MAINLY because Thatcher seemed so mythic to me as a political figure. What I ❤️ about Streep's performance, is that she humanized Thatcher's life, and gave her some context about what she had to put up with being a woman in a party dominated by men.
Meryle Streep performance is sensational, she is one of the best actors of actors off all time, no question, no debate. But I have to say I’m from a place called Motherwell in Scotland, which was once famous for making steel and it was a profitable industry. But because of thatcher government and there de-industrial policies the local economy tanked and never recovered. Today the local economy is service sector jobs, zero hour contracts and no workers union. I was only a child when it happened but I remember the dole line being out of the door and half way down the high street in favour of a centralised economy in London where it’s all numbers on a computer screen. She was the first female leader of the uk, fair enough. But the females in my family absolutely despised her because of the economic suffering she caused. And I don’t think American audiences are aware of that interpretation of the story.
I was discussing the Iron Lady with a friend today during a lecture - baring in mind im 18 years old and a friend said she didnt want to watch it because its a "granny movie" and since we're both from Britian i thought well isnt it worth going to get gain some knowledge on pivotal British history - and Meryl Streep alone should make you want to watch it, its a highly subjective film and i dare say that Meryl deserves the Oscar this year!
Let it be clear that I admire Margaret Thatcher. Not for being a woman, or the first female prime-minister. Those things shouldnt matter. But because she stood up for something and be unmoveable. She and Reagan were awesome
Bradley van der Hoeven I have the pleasure of meeting Margaret Thatcher once in fact I threw an egg at the Old cow's face unfortunately she was sitting in a car at the time she destroyed the mining community in Great Britain she tried to destroy the gay community the clause 28 I'm proud to say I was a member of gay and lesbian support the Miners the only decent thing for Great Britain Margaret Thatcher did wants to die however I had nightmares after seeing the film with Meryl Streep in it because she was brilliant as Margaret Thatcher yours Arthur Scargill
Mrs Thatcher was Great. I am ever grateful for her Section 28. I am Conservative and positively Anti Lgbtq. Akin to the Great Mister Trump - the Best President in History Ever, a True Conservative. Mister Trump is A Real Man. Mister Trump is the Charismatic Genius. Akin to the Great and Charming Mrs Margaret Thatcher. Mister Trump hath made America and The World Great Again.
It be due to Mrs Thatcher that so many of ourselves hath had a secure and balanced, centred Education and background/upbringing - Section 28, for which we may be Ever thankful. Ameen.
"whatever the name--we have to thank the director..." Wow, Barbara Walters is rude. I love Meryl Streep and have huge respect for her. However, this is the woman who made Mamma Mia and the Iron Lady. Phyllida Lloyd is a name to remember!
STREEP IS AMAZING... I am British and watched Streep electrify the screen and cinema... Meryl Streep is an incredible actress. This has to win another Oscar for her... as for The View, I agree, only Whoopi Goldberg is good, giving Meryl time to answer a very good question. The rest do really talk over each other... clearly Barbara Walters thinks she leads this group!
Whoopi nailed the whole interview with her first question which hit at the core of Thatchers enigma/ego. With her intelligence, wit, lack of bullshit, warmth, and streetwise nuance, its time Goldberg made Whoopi with her own talk show.
They should of just let Whoopi interview Meryl. Whoopi is the only one who ask a question and then give her a chance to answer it. She not trying to talk over her. WOW Meryl I would of just walked off. Good for you. Good luck at the oscar!
Meryl Streep's performance was beyond fantastic, but lets not forget that Thatcher was a politician and she did negatively affect so many people to a fatal point.
@O K I know exactly what it means. Maybe you need to be educated in what fatal means or maybe you didn't witness the effects of Thatcher. You probably haven't witnessed people whose lives were so negatively affect by Thatcher and her decisions. Decisions that caused many elderly to die.
@moonerman100 Conrats on the Golden Globe! Yeah! I really hope she gets another Oscar this year! Me and my friends adored the movie, such a great performance! She is just the most amazing actress ever! I could spend weeks watching all of her movies and I would not be bored!
So a film about a BRITISH Prime Minister is being released to theatres in the US before it's being released in the UK?? (6th January I think it is over here) I don't understand
Sometimes the view makes me laugh, a bunch of the most privileged women you can imagine talk about the struggle of womanhood. The self congratulatory tone of these shows is cringe 😬 but women lap it up.
@Bananianiown It wasn't just from that interview...more a cumulative effect. She brings it up a lot, I find. I know how it was for women in the past...I just get weary of people complaining all the time.
@@kiranjitKaur61 Ah, one of the reasons I dislike her so. An appalling move from a bigoted prime minister. People call the monarchy archaic. Not as much as Thatcher’s muddled plans. Especially section 28.
@@musicalmagpie741 It be not any joke. Section 28 was Great. Very Divine. Twas very good and protecting to Schoolchildren such as myself. It did indeed create a balanced centred Educational experience and upbringing. One that I be Eternally grateful for. And as too can be various many other people. What a Great Prime Minister. Of the Country. Mrs Thatcher did in general put the Great into Great Britain.
Obviously as the only two PMs to be female in Britain have been "Toris"...Miss Streep is totally wrong about it being a "boys club". That's the problem with modern leftists, they confuse pandering with empowerment, and charity with progress. All very emotional ways of thinking...Thatcher was a great leader because she was better than everybody else for the job at that time. She hated Feminism because it made the woman feel as a victim....miss Thatcher was never a victim...and because she instead was a leader.
You go Meryl what a great speech you gave its about the way you should act and have respect for others lm sorry but Trump needs to go because we will have a War if he keeps it up my God l bet people are sorry they voted him in. And to put disadvantages people down he has no shame why is it that he thinks he can get away with it, it made me sick l have a lot of respect for you Meryl as a person and actress ❤️ to you Meryl
Mister Trump is Great. A True Conservative. The Best President Ever in History. I am very grateful to Him. He hath made the World Great. With His policy.
9:00 All the great actors have humor , Brando, Deniro, Streep. Whoopy goes "what am I chopped liver". She is a hell of a comedian and you have to see her in the Color Purple........people forget so quickly.
@vibeuk2003 Aaaaah ok..makes sense now! I don't watch the Oscars, of the BAFTA's for that matter....after watching this film though, winning either of them will be no problem for Streep or even any of the other actors in it!
@greg1lewin I agree that the interview is terrible- that's usually how the View goes- but I admit I don't see the male bashing that you're speaking of. What they said about how it was/is for women in our society is true, and as far I could see, they only really talked about the woman's point of view.
5:32 no no no. Maggie honestly I think was one of the least criticized Woman Leader in the 20th Century. She made men tremble on fear. The reason she was so controversial is because of how she did certain things. Like the poll tax and what have you, she really wasn’t brought down being a woman in 10. Before that of course but as prime minister no. Again she was feared and had unpopular policies that’s why she’s both lobed and hated in Britain and in politics around the world.
Meryl ("Out of Africa") and Whoopi ("The Color Purple") lost the 1985 Best Actress Oscar - deservedly - to Geraldine Page ("The Trip to Bountiful") in 1986!!!
Too true about the internet. It's truely shocking & soo out-of-order what people write isn't it?
I think we'll have to agree to disagree on the Monarchy issue, & especially Blair, who for me is for me the devil incarnate, (did you know he'll be a billionaire soon, the world is truely mad hehe) !! Anyway, I don't want to argue as you seem a really decent, reasonable person & it's been great to converse and see your take on things. Happy New Year to you.
She brings it up because she lived it and lives it. It doesn't just go away because men are uncomfortable with it. Tell woman about uncomfortable...it's our lives. In her industry women are dismissed all the time. especially those who CAN act. Not just a pretty face willing to only speak when spoken to. Those that call out the wrong in the world--MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE. male bashing?? lol that's pathetic
Phyllidia: ruined the lives of millions Barbara: Because she was so conservative -- let's talk about Thatcher without mentioning anything she actually did.....
LOL @9:42... that director told barbara to shut the fuck up about herself in these interviews and the redhead next to her started bustin up laughin. they all hate barbara... hahaha served.
close one there with "phyllidas" name, dismissed it in a rude way, i could tell she realised and tried to compensate at the end by physically reaching out.
"I want to show you a little bit of my interview with Margaret Thatcher so you can see how fantastic this performance was." Suuuuuuuure Barbara. Sure you didn't just want to bore on about yourself for the 500th time. My god, the ego on that woman!

Meryl is a legendary actress and the best of her time. Have two of my favorite actresses on that couch (Meryl and Whoopi)
The most remarkable performance. It is not easy to perpetuate such a unique, strong personality. i have seen clips of the movie,and cannot wait to see the movie in full. Amazing performance Meryl.
Got to say meryl nailed this what an actress truly talented and most important down to earth deserves the accolades as a top actress Well done meryl.
who doesn't love THE QUEEN? she's amazing
The Great Mrs Thatcher.
The most brilliant performance of all time.

Thatcher was the worst
Meryl Bloody Streep ! this is an amazing performace .... i just can't wait to watch it ... sure deserve an oscar ... viva meryl
Such a brilliant actress, I love watching all her work because she shows how rewarding true acting can be.
Meryl Streep is the real deal. She's incredible!!! GOD!!!!
Again, love Meryl Streep....
...i love this woman so amazing at what she does but still remains HUMBLE which is really rare...
*One of the best actors ever to grace the silver screen*
I dunno, I think Thatcher's gender became irrelevant quite quickly and she was judged on her decisions and policies.
Thank you for sharing! I hope Meryl wins his 3 Oscar! I'm waiting for 25 years to see her win...

"not many people remember Margaret Thatcher" Whaaaaat.
True
Well, what do you expect from this set of modern day "intellectuals"?
they`re americans .
She's speaking to the American audience. It's probably true that not many Americans remember Margaret Thatcher.
Streep was Thatcher in that film. She nailed it.
I throughly enjoyed this flick. I hope to buy it for my collection of biopic classics.

Don't it was awful and so was she. Her legacy was a tragedy for those already struggling.
I LOVE Meryl!!! :D
I LOVE MERYL SO MUCH!
if meryl wins an oscar this year, it will have been thirty years since her last win for Sophie's Choice.

@thisistheending It's because they had to rush it out before December 31st in the US so that it's eligible for oscar nominations.
So a film about a BRITISH Prime Minister is being released to theatres in the US before it's being released in the UK?? (6th January I think it is over here) I don't understand
@thisistheending No, it was released in limited theatres in the US for some reason, but won't be fully released until January 13th.
That was quite rude of barbara at the end. The way she treated Phyllida. Even Whoopi was disgusted.
Thank you, StreepChannel. I am a new subscriber. :'(

I am a woman and I am not much interested in the programme.
The only difference between Meryl and Margaret Thatcher, is that Steep is hot, and Thatcher is Thatcher.
Mrs Thatcher was nicely feminine looking, graceful. Beautiful. Grand. A True Conservative. She was Great.
Today's American conservatives would call Margaret Thatcher a leftist.
loveeeeeee meryllll
such inspirations. But I don't understand why there are so many women sitting on the sofa when only 2 of them asked a question...
@Bananianiown
It wasn't just from that interview...more a cumulative effect. She brings it up a lot, I find. I know how it was for women in the past...I just get weary of people complaining all the time.
Its not because she is a woman - it because of her policies. Her reign still give me the chills
She was Great.
Women are held to a harsher judgement, expecially in Joy's era.
@meridiny lol i think she was trying to emphasize how well meryl did portraying her having witnessed the real margaret thatcher herself.
