Haven't seen The King's Speech yet- or a lot of others since our only theater burned down a few years ago
 - but came across this by Christopher Hitchens:http://www.slate.com/id/2282194/ And the follow-up- dying of cancer hasn't mellowed him out any: http://www.slate.com/id/2285695/ Which leads to the question how important is historical accuracy in a movie. I tend to be a stickler on this- if something's not known, you can make stuff up to fill the gaps, or if there are questions of what actually happened or differing interpretations it's okay to take sides, but known facts should be absolutely respected.
