Re: The King's Speech
Great post, totally agree!
If King George made any racist/antisemitic remarks I didn't catch them. But at one point King Edward (Guy Pearce) says something about Hitler sorting out the European monarchy (cousin Wilhelm). And the woman he abdicates the throne to marry is referred to as a Nazi sympathizer in one scene I think.
I thought this movie was pretty excellent and for an Oscar baity period piece it eschewed many of the Oscar baity period piece cliches. Geoffrey Rush was absolutely brilliant.
