To those who haven't seen it, I highly, highly recommend going to see the movie "The King's Speech". Basic premise: the King of England has a stutter (as in, the serious speech impediment, not the cutesy-awkward personality quirk and yes I have had to make that distinction) and in order to deliver speeches to his people, he hires someone who helps him overcome the stutter.
It is a very, very British movie. I went in knowing it would be much more British than Monty Python's Flying Circus, and hellova lot more British than anything on BBCA, or any other British programing I've had the delight of watching. It was still 40% more British than what I expected.
It's emotionally powerful, very intense, and it WILL get you emotionally involved. I've never been so overwhelmingly elated and shocked and proud (and a plethora of other weird and nameless emotions) at someone saying "Because I have a voice!"
I won't detail anything else, so as not to spoil it. But. Go watch it, seriously.
