Rambling on King's Speech

I finally saw the King's Speech last night, I say finally because I felt like I saw a ton of Oscar nominated movies this year but took forever getting around to The King's Speech.

It was an interesting and moving experience.

Why that choice of words? Because my boyfriend also stammers.

So as you can see I had a really personal connection to this film. I think that may have taken me out of it/put me into it too much.

I found myself really identifying with Helena Bonham Carter's character, The Queen Mum Elizabeth. I felt myself thinking "Oh, I never realized that's how he feels" or "I know exactly what this feels like."

I realize that this should make me like it more, but I don't know, it felt too real sometimes. I was over associating my boyfriend and myself with these characters.

I'm not articulating this well I realize, but what can I do?

Let me say: I loved this film. I thought it deserved all the awards it won, and more. Helena and Geoffrey definitely deserved oscars, even though they didn't win.

I just feel like I need to see this film over and over again.

Maybe I did like it.

I'm confused.
