The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Changed Operation Postmaster's Ending | The True Story
The ending of Operation Postmaster depicted in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is explosive, violent, and drastically different than the true story's ending. Led by Gus March-Phillips, who is portrayed by Henry Cavill, we explain what the Guy Ritchie movie changes about the climax of Operation Postmaster, the British Special Forces WW2 mission carried out by the Small Scale Raiding Force (SSRF) and the Special Operations Executive (SOE) on January 14, 1942 to capture three ships on the West African island of Fernando Po. The ships, which included the Italian merchant vessel Duchessa d'Aosta, the German tug Likomba, and the luxury pleasure yacht Bibundi, were being used in the Axis war effort in part to resupply German submarines. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare fictionalizes the ending, including the role of Marjorie Stewart, portrayed by Eiza González. #theministryofungentlemanlywarfare #operationpostmaster #ww2

    I go into ever movie or show that says "based on a true story" knowing there will be some truths but it's mostly spectical because that's what people want when they go to the movies. It said loosely based, which told me they read an interesting story about a real person and had fun with it. While I appreciate learning the true story, it wouldn't have made as compelling of a film. I also appreciate they say he committed no murders. Overall it was a fun movie that suprised me, Glen Powell especially. Was nice to see his range

    I totally take most of these points. However, i don't know anyone who would expect a completely historically accurate film from Guy Ritchie (especially when we're tipped off heavily on the intent with the Queen soundtrack). However, i will defend a couple of points. The mixed up timeline of the film, helps to move the film along but may make people forget that that boat journey took a very long time and that that long time is adressed in the film. The run in with the British ship also highlights that not everyone was happy to have this operation going on, without holding up the screenplay for too long. This also means that when the injurred commando is clearly badly wounded, when they arrive back on the British ship, the scene with Winston Churchill will have taken place weeks (at best) and possibly months later. Plenty of time to recover.

    No movie tells “the true story.” Every movie uses artistic license, dramatic license. Spanish-speakers wish to diss “Alive” as a Disney version of events only because it didn’t use greater shock imagery. They could’ve promoted the new movie without needlessly dissing the older masterpiece. Nice video, sir.

    Movie was Guy Ritchie trying to be Tarantino and turn real events into an inglorious style flick but because it was trying to have a foot in both camps it fell short. Passable popcorn flick but could have been so much more. If they wanted spec ops and explosions then the St Nazaire raid would have been a better choice but given how this movie ended up its a good thing they didn't go there.

    If Don Shirley's family were in his life up until his death. There would be PHOTOS to prove that Don Shirley was in contact with them. When Don Shirley was kicked out of his Carnegie Apartment (after 50 years) NOT one Blood family member stepped up and took in a 80 old elder who is having his life up rooted. Don Shirley's family didn't have a relationship with Don Shirley after he became a professional pianist. If they had a STRONG BOND the mystery of the biological connection wouldn't be a topic of discussion. Tony Lip knew Don Shirley's inner secrets such as his true sexuality, the biological family didn't. The Biological Family are bitter that they themselves didn't know enough about their Brother/ Uncle to Profit off themselves. Greed and Envy😎💅🏿

    Мне жаль настоящего Гэри Джонсона, ему бы точно не понравилось, что из него сделали хладнокровного убийцу, который спокойно целуется с девушкой, когда на полу умирает человек. И мне фильм нравился, ровно до этой заключительной сцены. Концовка всё испортила. Можно предположить, что в этом был такой смысл - если ты долго притворяешься кем-то, то становишься им? Но последние минуты вроде бы показывают милую семью, и это никак не вяжется с тем, что такие милые муж с женой - убийцы, которым всё сошло с рук.

    It was a very good Movie But Sadly Truthful. We moved from San Bernardino California in 1969 to Flint Michigan so my Parents could start over after losing everything in The Great Flood of the Inland Empire. In 1969 Flint Michigan was The Wealthiest City in The United States. The First Time Any of Us Kids Seven of Us Boys and 1 Sister, my Mother was Born and Raised in The Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee and My Dad was Cherokee Indian from Oklahoma. My Mother was Absolutely Not a Prejudice Bone in her Body, My Dad Was A Bit. But They tell me when I was Five Years old when we moved To Flints Beecher District which was about 50/50 Black and White folks. But they say I would Go across the Street and Yell The N Word at Five Years Old That Meant I Learned That From Someone and believe it was my Oldest Brother who is Been a Jehovah Witness for 40 Years Now there abouts anyway. He Loves Everyone Which is what we are supposed to Do. All the Years living the Summer from Eight Years old Until 15 Years old I spent My Summers with My Grand Mother who I was Really Close to and went to Church with Every Sunday. I would Hear a Few of My Uncles Say Derogatory Words about People of Color. So One was an Elder In The Church down There and I Often Wondered at The Young Age if The Lord Will Forgive Him. As a Man Of God I Couldn’t Rationalize Why He Preached Love and Kindness But at The same Time Say Derogatory Word About The People of Color, I Don’t like calling anyone a Color Because At The End Of The Day God Created Every Single One of Us Human Beings. I tell People All the Time There is Absolutely Zero Difference Other Then The Color of Skin, I tell them If I cut My Skin it will Bleed Red, If I get Down under The Skin it Will Be Pink, The Air We Breath To Live They Breath as well. I honestly Believe The reason There are Folks with Dark Skin is Because They all Lived in Very Hot Climate Conditions So The Skin being Brown and Some Even Black is Gods way Of Protecting Their Skin, I White Skin Person Can’t Take The Heat. All Races From Areas Where It’s Hot all The Time 365 Days a Year. Now think about White Folks we came From England, Scotland, Ireland, Netherlands, Sweden You get the Picture Not Hot Places all year Round. Maybe or Maybe Not But at the End Of The Day We All Need To Get Pass The Hatred Of A Certain color of People. I Don’t call any Race Because We Are All Human Race So There are a Verity Of People in This World we all Have a Different Culture But We are All The Lord Gods Children. I believe this with Every Ounce of My Being. I grew up Friends of All Makes and Models so We Had a Rainbow Coalition Before Jesse Jackson Coined a Term We already Knew. My Mother had an open Door Policy If You were Hungry Have a Seat But If You sat At The Table or Just started Eating with a Hat On She Would tell You You can Eat Until Your Full All You Want But Don’t Ever Disrespect My Kitchen Table. My Dear Mama Didn’t have Mean Bone in Her Body when it came To The Folks Around and Those She Worked with at Buick Plants. She was Heavy into The United Way, Toys For Tots, Old News Boys. She Was Also A Very Well Loved and Known Helping To Get Mr. Kildee Into Office First Here in The State then Washington. She Was an Old Democrat Women Who Was Very Influential Woman. I was Always a Republican my Entire Adult Life. The Only One Out Of Eight Children.

    Read the true account of this opeartion "Ian Fleming's and SOE's Operation Postmaster" by Brian Lett. You will also learn how the 00 (of 007) meant a license to kill. The officers involved in Operation Postmaster were assigned codenames such a W.01, the 0 meaning that they were TRAINED (assassinate a better word?) to kill, not licensed; licensed to kill would be redundant as everyone in the military is licensed to kill. He was initially under the command of Admiral Godfery and several years later under the command of General Gubbins whose code name was M.

    Years ago, I came home from action - I can't and won't say where - but I was walking towards a bus stop in my home village when a car nearby backfired. I was through and behind a hedge flat face-down in somebodies private front garden quicker than you can blink. I was suddenly back where I had just returned from. But when I regained my surroundings and stood up and extricated myself from the garden, people at the bus stop were understandably looking at me as if I was some kind of nutcase. It took me a few years for loud noises not to have that kind of effect on me - a firework display would sometimes conjure up images in my mind and I would have to snap out of it. Over 45 years later I still have the sharpness of instincts when I hear something that reminds me of combat - it never leaves you.
