This is more a view than a re-view. Such films should be made more often. I mean, about human foibles, or just being human.
If you look at Superman or his clones in human form, most Holly and Bolly or other folly films would fall into the category. Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Salman and others have made a huge capital out of this genre. But the simply human heroes or heroines have almost vanished from the scene, which is sad.
Some exceptions like this immediately touch you. A king with a speech disability? Whoever thought of making a film like this? And so beautifully, too. The King is very believable, thanks to Colin Firth, and the tutor too. It reminded me often of Prof Higgins and Eliza Dolittle, though she was more fiery as his student.
Brilliant concept, and execution, I must say. Must watch. Happy I bumped into it on HBO.
