The King's Speech

2011-01-26 20:33:02.275037+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Last weekend, Charlene and I went to see The King's Speech. Enjoyed the film, but it also felt a little fluffy, a little too shallow. Christopher Hitchens asserts that The King's Speech was far too kind, especially to Churchill and George VI.

Seems like there's lots of depth in the maneuvering to keep the royal family palatable to the public and the intricacies of diplomacy of that era that would make a great history, but which will never be told.
