Sorry for my absence, but I've been incredibly busy these last few weeks. As the Christmas holidays are approaching, I want to leave you with "homework" to do. Don't worry, I'm not going to make you work. But I'd like to recommend you a film that will be released on 22 December:
Watch the trailer of THE KING'S SPEECH, with Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham-Carter:
Plot
After the death of his father King George V (Michael Gambon) and the scandalous abdication of King Edward VIII (Guy Pearce), Bertie (Colin Firth) who has suffered from a debilitating speech impediment all his life, is suddenly crowned King George VI of England. With his country on the brink of war and in desperate need of a leader, his wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter), the future Queen Mother, arranges for her husband to see an eccentric speech therapist, Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). After a rough start, the two delve into an unorthodox course of treatment and eventually form an unbreakable bond. With the support of Logue, his family, his government and Winston Churchill (Timothy Spall), the King will overcome his stammer and deliver a radio-address that inspires his people and unites them in battle.

First of all, Happy New Year.
I saw the film last saturday with my husband and I have to tell that it really liked us. Although it´s a little bit slow, but knowing that it was true facts I was always paying attention to the screen. You don´t get bored with it.
Happy New Year, Paloma!
Thanks for you comment! But I'm sure you meant that "you and your husband liked it". Well, it didn't seem slow to me, but that is a matter of opinions, I guess!
