The King's Speech not all that...

It took me flying to Brazil, to actually watch The King's Speech, yes they were showing on the plane, yes thats why I watched, cos otherwise I don't think I would have watched, the film just doesn't call my attention, neither the poster, trailer nor premise.

Don't get me wrong, the film is good,the actors are definitely doing something different form what I had seen them doing previously, but still didn't convince me that it was worth the Oscar for best film.

The entire film is pretty plain and steady, off course its a victory when the King is able to read the speech without major staggering *, and it truly shows the meaning of confidentiality( his coach didn't tell his wife till he had to that he was coaching the King to be) and perseverance, sure all of that are good lessons, but not done in a super hyper enthusiastic mode, which I understand cos it's a British film, and I don't say that as a bad criticism its just that British cinema is more contained, emotions seem to be brought always down, at least its how I sense it.

Some aesthetics of the film framing bothered me, but that is something that probably I was one of the few that actually noticed that part of the film.

But after watching it, I am quite disappointed that "Black Swan" didn't win, it was in my opinion the best , and the only one of the nominees that I watched and left the cinema saying " WOW that was a good movie" , in not just one aspects but many, and that doesn't mean the other nominees weren't good, just means they didn't have the "WOW" and "Marvelled" effect Black Swan had in me,anyway Im just happy that "The Social Network" didn't win , cos then I wouldn't no what to say of the Academy, just that their standers decreased quite a bit over the years.
