I went to see "The king's speech" with Colin Firth yesterday and would highly recommend it. Prince Albert (Bertie), second son of George V, suffered from a horrendous stammer. The story is about how an unconventional Australian speech therapist (he didn't have that title, or training or any credentials whatsoever) helped him to work through this difficulty. I don't want to say any more - but would love if you go to see it and write about it. There are parallels to be drawn.

I saw this film tonight and I

I saw this film tonight and I thought it was one of the best films I have seen in a while. It was so moving, me and my friend left the cinema with a light feeling in our hearts. We both cried and laughed through it. Very moving.. I loved it. Colin Firth is a wonderful actor.

I also saw The Way Back and The Last 3 Days which were both very powerful films. Quite intense each in there own right.

May flowers of Happiness endlessly grow in the sweet enchanted garden of your heart.

"...I have a VOICE!"

Last night we went to see "the king's speech". After all the good critique and recommendation how could we resist?
And we were not disappointed! What a powerful message:
"...I HAVE A VOICE!!!"
I think this was one of key messages I took with me from this film.

What I loved about it as well is that it is based on a true story, and in fact a story that happened so recent in our history that at least one of the characters appearing in the film is actually still alive: Queen Elizabeth.
I really love to learn about history in this way.

And then I had watched the tv drama "Upstairs-Downstairs" recently, which plays around the same time and thus has some historical parallels, I thought that was interesting.

I join the others and highly recommend the film.

Love,
