Movies i Didn't Like: The King's Speech

Recently, i have been watching a lot of movies.  Who knew public libraries let you check out fairly new release movies?  Most of them have been bad to "i'm glad i didn't pay to rent this".   

The movie in this post was The King's Speech.  There are numerous people out (oot in Canada) there who really seemed to like this film.  If you hadn't guessed by now, i'm not one of them.  i found this film to be pointless and very, very  b o r i n g.  On the bright side, the movie was in focus. 

i have never been one to like movies that get critical approval (outside a few) or that show up in film festivals.  The King's Speech was both.  i would say that it seemed a little pretentious.  The second thing is that i cared nothing for any of the characters or the plot.  Why should i care if some British royal (i don't get that fascination) stammered/stuttered when he spoke.  Dude, you have the money and some semblance of power - they kind of have to listen to you.  Yeah, i can really relate to some older than me person whose greatest problem is a speech impediment - seems pretty lucky to me.  Oh cruel fate...

The movie was R rated for marketability to the cadre of drama fans.  The only reason i could think for the rating was use of "strong language".  They used the "F" word several times.  i'm sure my neighbors hear stronger language when i'm playing video games. 

Maybe i missed some of the deeper undertones and how it was a metaphor for the human condition (or that pretentious stuff teachers say about literature), but i didn't see any.  i'm sure there was some kind of plot, but it didn't keep me interested.  To me, this movie moved little faster than the pace of paint drying.  Was it really 118 minutes, it felt like weeks?  There were no car chases, explosions or nudity.  To me, there also was not real point.  Yeah, you can give a wartime speech over the radio (whatever that is) as the grand finale.  i was so thoroughly moved as the credits finally rolled - that i uttered the word "finally" and immediately put this back in the case, never again to see the light of day in my household.
