The King's Speech.

I approach movies much like music, books and art works. The ones I like I will enjoy more than once and hope to see fresh things in it time and time again. Looking at the poster weeks before the film came out I suspected this one might be "one of those".

I think that one of the main strengths to start with is that it’s factual. The telling of this story gives us curious insight into an aspect of that critical time, the Royals and their adversity that we have not seen before. Many of my contempories have had to work out the connection to Queen Elizabeth II and did not even know George VI had a speech impediment. So many have been starting from the very beginning on this one.
