Golda is a 2023 British biopic about Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir directed by Guy Nattiv and written by Nicholas Martin, focusing especially on her role in the Yom Kippur War. The film stars Helen Mirren as Meir, also featuring Rami Heuberger as Moshe Dayan, Ohad Knoller as Ariel Sharon, Lior Ashkenazi as David Elazar, and Liev Schreiber as Henry Kissinger.Following Israel's crushing victory over its Arab opponents in the Six-Day War, the country has grown overconfident even as its opponents prepare for another round. Caught off guard when Egypt and Syria launch an attack during the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, Golda Meir and her government must face seemingly insurmountable odds in Israel's battle for survival, all while her resolve and Israel's capabilities are tested like never before. | |

The movie implies that only Egypt and Syria fought against Israel during the war. While they certainly contributed the most, expeditionary forces from many other Arab countries (and Cuba) also participated in the fighting. | |

The Ghost | |
| Golda / int_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: Hafez al-Assad, President of Syria, is brought up in dialogue multiple times. However, he never appears onscreen, not even in stock footage like Richard Nixon and Anwar Sadat. | |

The Topic of Cancer | |
| Golda / int_2e76947a | comment |
The Topic of Cancer: The film does not shy away from Golda Meir's lymphoma, radiation treatments, or the side effects of those treatments: we see her cough up blood and we see lumps of hair come out as her hair is being washed. | |

Artistic License – History: The movie implies that only Egypt and Syria fought against Israel during the war. While they certainly contributed the most, expeditionary forces from many other Arab countries (and Cuba) also participated in the fighting. While the film mentions that the Agranat Commission cleared Golda Meir of blame; they neglect to mention that the blame was placed squarely on David "Dado" Elazar. He was forced to resign as Chief of Staff in 1974 and died a broken man in 1976. | |

Better the Devil You Know | |
| Golda / int_76cde6e | comment |
Better the Devil You Know: Henry Kissinger advises Golda not to wipe out Egypt's trapped Third Army, believing that such a brutal blow would result in Anwar Sadat falling from power and being replaced by a more hardline figure. Golda isn't having it. | |

Greater-Scope Villain | |
| Golda / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: The Soviet Union provides ample support to Israel's enemies in the war, but they never get directly involved. Golda, however, is not shy about sharing her memories of the pogroms she experienced as a girl in Ukraine, intimating that the Soviet Union and Tsarist Russia are not so different. | |

| Golda / int_e13156e1 | comment |
Mama Bear: Golda demonstrates this magnificently when throws down the ultimatum to Henry Kissinger: either Sadat returns the Israeli prisoners and agrees to peace talks with Israel, or his Third Army will die of thirst and be bombed by the IAF. As she grimly ordered David Elazar earlier in the movie: "You rescue those boys." | |

| Golda / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: For a movie with no actual violent scenes, it hammers home the point quite well. Seasoned warrior Moshe Dayan throws up upon seeing the carnage in the Golan Heights. Golda Meir walks through the morgue of the hospital to get her radiation treatments. As the war rages on, more and more bodies are seen. David "Dado" Elazar is nearly in tears upon hearing the following transmission from the Egyptian front: | |

Historical Beauty Update | |
| Golda / int_f740a274 | comment |
Historical Beauty Update: The film realistically uglies up Helen Mirren as Golda Meir and Liev Schreiber as Henry Kissinger. Rami Heuberger has an uncanny resemblance to Moshe Dayan, what with the tall, slight build and male-pattern baldness. However, Lior Ashkenazi is definitely handsomer than the real-life David Elazar. And the short, homely Ariel "Arik" Sharon is played by tall, handsome Ohad Knoller in an unkempt wig. | |
