The same way I enjoyed, say, "The King's Speech" but I respect the right of historians to question the artistic liberties taken

This Best Picture Oscar winner wasn't my choice, but it's well-executed (if old-fashioned). First rewatch since theatrical run. Not sure if I'll like it more or less. #filmsky 📽

neutral · AI labelView post →My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of THE KING'S SPEECH boxd.it/fNPPWN More effective as personal drama than historical document; trio of Firth, Bonham Carter, & Rush keep period piece from feeling stuffy. Perfectly charming tale of overcoming adversity, but superficial in presenting real world events. #filmsky 📽

Winston Churchill also had a speech impediment, and yet is remembered for his speeches to parliament. I recognize that these were people of privilege and you probably aren't, so that makes things even more difficult. But I do believe that everyone can be useful and a blessing to those around them, even while dealing with a…
