The King's speech let Angers audience... speechless

Numerous inhabitants of Angers and the surroundings and, among them English people, attended on saturday night, "The King's speech" screened in original version in the "Les 400 coups" cinema in down town. According to the tickets sellers, the movie is good and appreciated by local audience which standed in a queue from the theatre entrance up the middle of the junction of Saint-Laud and Deux-Haies streets. The auditorium was complete.

That is justified by the quality of the movie. Subtil and lively dialogues, accuracy of the characters and period, sparkling images, the English cocktail was perfect. The film has two levels : a fascinating relationship between teacher and monarch (what really makes the film worth seeing) and an impeccably crafted chapter from recent British history.

 But the The King's speech also set people an exemple of courage, an attempt to get a country about an amorphous fear of a grim future that could inspire many politicians and citizens of today's world who have to negotiate the bend between the twentieth and the twenty first centuries.
