.....and my wife and I thought it was very, very good.
The Link
Colin Firth is sure to be a very strong contender for Best Male Actor, plus Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter will likely be nominated for their supporting roles.
Tom Hooper should receive a nomination as Best Director and the film itself, if I'm a judge of cinematic excellence, will deservedly be a favorite in the Best Picture race.
Those Oscar nominations for 2011 will be announced on January 25th.
This excellent historical drama was, for both me and my wife, as entertainingly accurate and attentively well made as such movies as "A Man for All Seasons," "Gone with the Wind," "The Grapes of Wrath," "Reds," "All the President's Men" or "Apollo 13."
The story, I believe, was as moving, uplifting and well-portrayed as "The Miracle Worker," "My Left Foot" or "Schindler's List."
And, I think, it's a motion picture as important, as exemplary, as memorable and likely to become as iconic in the manner of "The Last Picture Show," "To Kill a Mockingbird" or "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
If you didn't enjoy and/or appreciate those movies I mentioned you should probably go see another flick, maybe more like the one whose excitingly explosive soundtrack we could easily hear concurrently rumbling through the wall from the speakers in the cineplex theater auditorium next door.
However, if you want to see a film that may be included someday on distinguished and discriminating Best Movies lists, don't miss this one.
It was certainly good on the big screen, but should also adapt well for smaller home screen viewing when available.
Your movie preferences, expectations, favorites and opinions are, of course, welcome to vary.
