The King's Speech


I really want to see this movie. Why?

1. I luuurve Colin Firth. He may be sort of old now, but he'll always be dreamy Mr Darcy to me. And wasn't he cute in Love Actually?
2. I am enamoured with England, as you well know.
3. I'm intrigued by the story.
4. Everyone I know who's seen it has loved it.
5. I like a gutsy, determined female character. I think Helena Bonham Carter will play it to perfection.
5. Maybe this year when I go to my mom's Oscar party, there will actually be a movie I've seen {and can root for}. I'd like that. After all, it shouldn't be all about the dresses!

Have you seen The King's Speech? What did you think?

  2. Have to agree with Micaela - you must go and see it!

    It is uplifting and a really inspiring movie. Also just tumbled the latest 'Keep Calm' too which completely applies too! ;)

  7. I think Colin Firth did an amazing job in this role, he really did the stuttering so brilliantly, it is a great cast but I felt something lacked. I am a harsh critic I think :/

  9. I did see it and LOVED it. It was really one of the best movies I've been to in a long time. Colin Firth and Gregory Rush are just brilliant. And the end, with the Beethoven...that I adored. Erin, you need to go see it. If I were there, I'd go again with you.

  11. Hej Erin

    Fly back to London on Monday...
    Going to see this film on Wednesday with my girlfriend and a pre-cinema dinner at Carluccio's restaurant before YAY! I can't wait. If I have time I am also hoping to get to see the 'Black Swan', it's a dark film, but suppose to be very good too.
    I'll let you know.
    You must make some ME time and go and see the KINGS SPEECH, we can compare notes lol!
    LOVE PEACE enJOY!

  12. I had never even heard of this movie until I watched the CBS Sunday Morning clip on stuttering (I'm a little out of the loop these days). I REALLY want to see it. It looks incredible and I love period pieces (and Colin!).

  13. I'm not sure if you've seen it since posting this, but it's a wonderful movie. We went to an old historic theater to see it and it was so fun!

    (And your guess is right - Helena did an amazing job with her character!)
