Just last night I watched The King’s Speech and goddamn I was impressed. Going into this I knew nothing about it except who was starring. Even now I’m not sure why I really wanted to see it. Yes, its being hyped as an amazing film by critics all over but that’s usually not enough to get me to see something. Hell, I still haven’t seen Up, Avatar, or Toy Story 3 and don’t have a real desire to. But for some reason I had to see this.
The girl at the box office (The Arclight Cinema) said that even though it’s a drama that there are plenty of laughs. I’m sure I raised my eyebrow when she said that. But that’s the thing. Even with dramas there has to be some light moments. I am almost done with reading this book Never Let me Go and it’s the most miserable shit ever and I am afraid to watch the film lest I hide all sharp objects in my house. You have to lighten the mood every once in a while.
