how to be a film critic for the stranger: just write "it's a perfect film" at the beginning, then in the middle write a 5th grade level descriptive account of what actually takes place (spoil it a bit for those who like a little suspense, but who cares) "they do this, they do that, she does this" etc... then write "it's a perfect film" at the end.

klawinhood commented on The King's Speech: Charles Mudede Really, Really Hates Kings.
The king is a human being, that is the point of this film. Regardless of the realities of the British empire this man had this awesome leadership role thrust upon him at perhaps the most frightening moment in modern history. He was looked to by millions as a source of inspiration and pride and was forced to overcome his human failings and weaknesses, in order to have even a slight chance of at least not letting down utterly not just a nation but an empire... it's a great human story, it's not about Marxism, but any Marxist worth his salt would see that this film is not about monarchy either. it's about a mortal man like any other and that of all things should resonate with a Marxist... to your merit, Mudede, you pretty much admit to not giving the film half a chance and so i suggest you watch it again. look closely for the human story, you can't miss it.
