We went and saw The King’s Speech yesterday afternoon because we could (weekday afternoon matinees are the best). I was struck by the visuals of the entire movie. I especially loved Lionel’s office with the massive fireplace and the wall with years of paint and wallpaper showing through. It looked like pretty marble paper.

I also liked the use of paper decorations during one of his speeches.

I should mention that it just wasn’t visually appealing, the entire movie is well worth a viewing for the story is very well told. And there is a little scene that will satisfy the Pride and Prejudice fans out there.
