The King's Speech

[winter]

So I went and saw that movie. Someone give Colin Firth his Oscar now, plzkthx.

It's fantastic, but for me it was also personal. I owe a lot of mental stability and general wellbeing after Ireland to the speech therapist who patiently taught me how to breathe and not seize up with nerves. (I still slur my Polish Rs, but apparently that's anatomical.)

Here's to speech therapists. Angels in disguise :)

I've been pondering whether to go see it or not; I think I will now.

Do, I think it'll be just up your alley :) They don't go for the easy Hollywood shortcuts at all, it's all complex and historical and very emotionally raw while at the same time 100% oldschool British. Best movie I've seen in a long time.

I loved this movie so much! Definitely my favorite of the year. Can't wait for the DVD...

BEST MOVIE EVER. Just had to come and squee. I'm very glad to hear about your own positive experiences with speech therapy too! <3

I was very reminded to really good theatre, the way the movie was constructed ♥
