Ben, you will enjoy this. I it is one of the funniest things I ever read and there is no bad language.
It was NOT the swear words that made this a great film.
It’s such a great story.... they SHOULD have made it PG-13 to begin with. The F word adds NOTHING to the value of this movie.
Personally, I thought this was the most overrated film of the century - past and present. It was a major snooze of a movie with Colin Firth proving he can stutter effectively and Derek Jacobi looking ridiculous in a bald “wig.” What a bore.
At least “The Queen” dished the dirt on the Royals and the Blair administration. It was at least fun - not deadly dull. As In Living Color might say: HATED IT!
That’s the kind of thinking that got The Sopranos mutilated on the A&E Network.
I agree that the language in those scenes bothered me. It took me a step back from really liking that movie. They could have done something to keep the language and make it inaudible, like showing him make the first sound of the word and then cutting to watching them through the window so you didn’t hear it.
That said, I think the movie’s a little overrated anyway. I saw it just after Black Swan, which not too many here will appreciate because of its unnecessary/attention-baiting lesbian scene, but was otherwise a very good movie. I would compare the lezzie scene in Black Swan to the language in The King’s Speech as disappointing otherwise-I’d-have-loved-it moments.
It was a great movie, and the profanity did not bother me.
Word for the Day: Bowdlerize
If you don’t understand the psychological component of why Prince Albert stammered (i.e. it’s not a purely mechanical problem), then you will have no understanding why the emotional outburst of profanity was fluid rather than restrained by a stammer.
Don’t edit the film.
I haven't seen this one so I can't comment.
The airlines censor language and other R rated stuff to show during flight so what’s the big deal?
