41 Thoughts Mandi Kaye Had While Watching The King’s Speech

  1. Ugh. “The Weinstein Company.”
  2. LOVE the guy checking the distance between his mouth and the microphone.
  3. I remember when the King gave that speech on the wireless on Downton Abbey. It’s what finally persuaded Lord Grantham it was okay to get a radio!
  4. Henry Higgins made Eliza Dolittle put marbles in her mouth.
  5. That’s what’s-his-face! Geoffrey Rush!
  6. How does he not know who she is?
  7. I mean, has she not been photographed or seen in public?
  8. That’s Miss Elizabeth Bennet!
  9. Well they were kind of assholes to Mr. Logue.
  10. “In here, it’s better if we’re equals.” I love that!
  11. “They’re idiots.” “They’ve all been knighted.” “Makes it official then.”
  12. Good gracious. He’s so full of himself he won’t even give it a chance! Okay, not full of himself, but DOWN on himself!
  13. I love this montage! Watching how loose and relaxed Lionel is and how tense Bertie is. It’s wonderful!
  14. It seems like that shouldn’t be a valid signature. He has no idea what just happened and someone else moved his hand.
  15. It must be terrifying to be that confused.
  16. Oh! That’s Dumbledore!
  17. Wait, he’s not upset his father died but that he can’t have his mistress?
  18. I love that Lionel always puts him in his place.
  19. And one day he will stop questioning Lionel’s methods. I hope!
  20. The Nanny would pinch him and not feed him?? That’s awful.
  21. Three years of that. Absolutely dreadful.
  22. God, his early years were tragic.
  23. I love these two together! Helena Bonham Carter is delightful.
  24. Kinging.
  25. Punch him in the face!
  26. “Defecation flows trippingly from the tongue.”
  27. “Do you know the F word?” “Fornication?”
  28. Oh I love this shouting of swears.
  29. “You’re a nobody. These sessions are over.” He cuts deep in his anger.
  30. Oh dammit, Bertie. Stop being so angry.
  31. Is that… Peter Pettigrew?
  32. I honestly didn’t know there was such public drama in the palace.
  33. Oh that’s a lovely camera shot, making it look like they’re all staring down at him.
  34. Um… that’s the worst crying I’ve seen. I expect better of Colin Firth.
  35. Myrtle’s reaction is THE BEST.
  36. “That is why it is suitable.” AW! I LOVE IT.
  37. Oh. I didn’t know he wasn’t a doctor.
  38. Ha! He’s sitting in the chair.
  39. Why is the PM resigning? 
  40. Colin Firth is wonderful in this role.
  41. “Well I had to throw in a few, so they knew it was me.”
