that film was not only good, it was enjoyable!

One of the better films of its type.
You gotta remember that the movie that wins the Best Pic Oscar has no relationship to the actual "best" film of any given year, whatever the heck that is. There really is no such thing IMO, but if I were giving out that award it would've gone to Winter's Bone. So it goes.
As a film geared to appeal to Oscar voters, I found The King's Speech to be far from mere Oscar bait and an entirely honorable effort(albeit a bit small scale). Good script. Excellent acting. Fine production values.
I'm OK with "personal struggles against physical handicap" movies when they're done this well...which they seldom are.
I do not take such pleasures as lightly as I once did. Not least among its virtues is TKS illustrates the frightening proposition of what England might have had to endure had Edward NOT abdicated (shudder).
The one Oscar it didn't deserve was for directing. It was not especially brilliant in that department, but then, I suspect less is more with this type of film. Let the actors take center stage.
A film for the ages? No, hardly, but a nice movie expertly executed and MADE FOR ADULTS. Let's be thankful someone is still making them in English.
Buddy and I were dragged to this by our wives (not our kind of movie). We came out all in agreement, one of the best films last year, if not the best. We also all thought the therapist played the best part.
