The King's Speech

Tom Hooper's (the Damned United) new awards contendor, starring Colin Firth
story cursory, same thing five times
pretty dodgy script, hugly predictable
but nice wide angled shots
sense of self
three point lighting, continuity talking heads
weird off centre framings
not just for convos; both sides on one side of screen
although space not orgnaised in edit, nicely conveyed atmosphere through this offcentredness
undoubted ability to create something, well directed
hermetically sealed film though, no connection to outsides
intrusions of (bad) Churchill, awful when we see 'ordinary people'
confined to a few characters, by use of narrational P.O.V.
not exactly inspiring for the art of film, but well directed, which is nice
not really all that bad, for all the conservatism
