Today I am off to the beautiful little village of Ladner to visit Leslie, and we're going to see "The King's Speech". I will let you know what I think of it. I want to see it before Oscar night, because I have a feeling it's going to win all the a lot of awards. The British know how to make movies.
And here is the real King George VI's wartime speech. You can hear him pausing occasionally.
thanks for putting this in your blog, Jo. Some of us won't see the movie until it's released on DVD, and I wanted to hear this largely ignored speech. Have a wonderful weekend.
I just listened to the original speech, and I am even more impressed with the making of the movie; it was exactly as Firth did it. I can't WAIT to hear what you think of the movie, Jo!
Friends are telling me its pretty impressive and asking if I have seen it (what with my own profession, you know). But, no, haven't seen it yet. Maybe soon. I like Colin Firth. The Stuttering Foundation has come out with a neat poster with his picture on it. D

I completely agree with Djan...I'm even more impressed after hearing the historic original speech.
Firth deserves an Academy Award for this authentic portrayal.
I look forward to your review, Jo!
Hope you have a good time!

"The King's Speech" isn't really my type of movie, but I'm curious to see if you will post some pics of the town.
