In 2010 film the Kings Speech the main character has a stuttering problem. Which is the premise of the movie but that’s not what I’m going to talk about. Did anyone else notice the dead pig hanging in the back of the wine cellar? That cannot be sanitary. As an animal science major I have done my fair share of working with animals and dissecting dead ones but I’m pretty sure having a dead pig in your basement is a biohazard. When we do big dissections (I’ve only done calves) you typically wear boots and an apron. I’m sure for butchering it’s different but you are going to end up tracking blood through the wine cellar. Also how long has that pig been hung up like that? It was not a focus and was in the background but it bugged me for the rest of the movie.

In terms of him having a speech impediment I think it plays into most people taking thing for granted when they aren’t afflicted with certain issues. As someone who was made fun of as a kid for having a speech impediment I think that its something most people take for granted. I think this is also an issue faced when we think about ableism. As someone who is able bodied I think I do take that for granted sometimes and something a lot of people who are able bodied take for granted until they are forced to really think about it. I think this made me think about things about myself that I take for granted.
