"Fuck fuck fuck"
Mar. 26th, 2011 10:09 pmJust finished watching The King's Speech with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law for sis's birthday. Really enjoyed it. Brought up my old curiosities about English monarchy and the whole system and things "...tits." And it was weird because I'm so used to seeing a lot of the major players in other types of roles and they all looked so different in this movie!! Helena Bonham-Carter looked normal! And Geoffrey Rush...and Guy Pierce...what'shisface who plays Wormtail...and Michael Gambon ugh he needs to go away... Colin Firth is like the only one who looked normal but omg he gave a helluva performance. Fabulous job with the role. Makes me really want to research King George VI. My mother-in-law enjoys this movie far too much I learned a lot of trivia about the royal family of that time period than I really needed to know, half of which I can't remember anymore. But yeah. Really good movie. Glad I got the opportunity to watch it because it's not a movie John would want to sit down and watch with me.
George VI's wife is Elizabeth I. Yes? Dunno why but that seems weird to me. We were talking about how kings had rules about which names they used in conjunction with their titles. George VI was actually an Albert, his brother David was King Edward ?? before he abdicated... Kings have to change their names depending on certain rules and things. There's Henry, Edward, George, William? Do the women have to do it too? Interesting question...
