Forceful --- What a forceful speech, in my opinion. It is laden with metaphors and images, and that gives it a strong emotional appeal. The story capsule of Churchill saving Europe vs Brexit is amazing: we have a problem or antagonist (Brexit), there is a protagonist (Churchil, plus the sweat, blood and tears of the English people). Redemption is not stated but implied: it will only come if Brexit does not happen. (So much for that...). The imagery is vivid, from the beginning; his description of the geographic borders of Europe as "populism in the North, refugees drowned at sea in the South" etc. are very strong. These could also be considered metaphors, but the best metaphor in my opinion is when he states that "...you can walk backwards in history...".
