The King's Speech...

[fajrdrako]

I saw The King's Speech this evening. Best movie I've seen in years. I cried through most of it - when I wasn't laughing. What a surprise and a treat so see Anthony Andrews as Baldwin - I was proud to recognize him! - and Guy Pearce as David. Yet every single actor was so very much in character that they were difficult to recognize as anything but the role they were playing.

Yeah, I loved it.

Afterwards, the last bit of Doctor Who episode 2x13, "Doomsday", was on, and I watched it again because I love it so much. Such a heart-breaker! I wish they'd never brought Rose back. That was such a fitting ending, compared to the eventual outcome.

I do so *really* want to go and see this at the cinema, but I doubt I'll get there. *pouts*

It's so worth seeing - but not a movie that would suffer from being seen on a small screen. See it if you can!

No, I can see that it wouldn't suffer from being seen on the small screen. It's just... generally we go to the cinema as a family - as a treat - so what we see is heavy on sound effects. And I'd kind of like the luxury of going on my own (or possibly with my daughter), and having a bag of chocolates to myself *G*

Well, why not? Go for it! There must be a way.
