This past Friday, I went to view the film The King’s Speech. I suppose this blog post is meant to express my thoughts on the film; however, in thinking about it, I’ve come across very little to say. I mean, the film is, no doubt, well made. The acting is fantastic, the cinematography is spot on, and the music is great. But beyond that, it’s hard to characterize what makes this film stand out among other great films. Its cinematography is good but not revolutionary, etc. Nonetheless, it’s a good film to watch for the sake of watching a good historical drama, but it’s not one I’ll be rewatching anytime soon.

Perhaps my analysis is a bit insincere given my ignorance of proper film analysis. With more time, surely I could come up with something more interesting to say; however, that in itself, to me, is a shortcoming of the film. Maybe that’s a better criticism. The film simply doesn’t leave me with any major points to ponder. And because of that, the film is something I’ll likely forget in a few years.
