Following bank holiday tradition

I watched a film this afternoon - not on telly, but The King's Speech on DVD. *sniff* Despite being surprisingly funny, that film does make me go all teary at the end. I think it is the judicious use of Beethoven under the speech - I saw a review when it came out complaining it undercut the big moment to do that but it totally works for me. Partially because I think that piece is incredibly beautiful anyway, but the timing of it so the music swells up underneath his words gets me right in the chest.

And now I would like a Colin Firth of my own please, so he can be vulnerable and gorgeous in a stiff-upper-lipped way and I can bring him tea and hug him a lot. I love the 30s suits too, not to mention the whole uniform with the sash.
