The King's Speech
The King's Speech tells the story of the man who became King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II. After his brother abdicates, George ('Bertie') reluctantly assumes the throne. Plagued by a dreaded stutter and considered unfit to be king, Bertie engages the help of an unorthodox speech therapist named Lionel Logue.

unlabelledView post →Emily Wilson isn't doing anything a bunch of male historians have done when a war movie or biopic comes out. I enjoyed the movie but respect her expertise in the subject. The same way I enjoyed, say, "The King's Speech" but I respect the right of historians to question the artistic liberties taken

unlabelledView post →My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of THE KING'S SPEECH boxd.it/fNPPWN More effective as personal drama than historical document; trio of Firth, Bonham Carter, & Rush keep period piece from feeling stuffy. Perfectly charming tale of overcoming adversity, but superficial in presenting real world events. #filmsky 📽

But also not a lot of great competition (yeah Social Network is better I guess, but that movie is overrated imo). I would have given it to True Grit but I guess the Coens best picture win was a little too recent

unlabelledView post →Today in Film Music History: November 26, 2010. "The King's Speech" opens. Alexandre Desplat composed the film's original music. The minimalist score was recorded using old microphones from the EMI archives, used by the royal family, in order to create a vintage and dated sound. #filmsky #music
unlabelledView post →Confused about the King’s Speech? Well allow me to enlighten you, The King's Speech is a 2010 historical drama film directed by Tom Hooper and written by David Seidler. Colin Firth plays the future King George VI who, to cope with a stammer, sees Lionel Logue, an Australian speech and language thera

unlabelledView post →383) The King's Speech Not my kind of movie I would go out of my way to see but this wasn't bad. Kinda felt long at times but it kept most of my interest and I thought the way they handled speech was respectful so that's appreciated. Shoutout to Lionel btw he's the goat.
unlabelledView post →And definitely not the movie? I guess that would be "How to decode The King's Speech".
unlabelledView post →As someone who loves Nuremberg i think it's not just a bad film but an overtly silly and indulgent film which means it probably would never have been liked by the Oscars. Ironically it does bear a resemblance to The King's Speech before the cast persuaded them to make Logue less of a larrikin
unlabelledView post →Probably my most controversial Oscars opinion of all time is that I like the movie Belfast. It was good. I also hate Kenneth Branagh as a director a majority of the time. Also I thought The King's Speech was better than The Social Network, that's probably more controversial even though it won.

Les Mis is as good a film as you can make of the material, I think. Damned United totally fails to capture the book, but is pretty good in itself.
