It was indeed. I lost count of how many times I've gone to the movies to see it (stopped keeping track after three).

This was an exceptional movie. I rarely want to see a movie a second or third time but this was one of the rare ones. I think Colin Firth is outstanding even if he hardly resembles George VI.

One point of interest for anyone who cares... Michael Gambon (of the Harry Potter films) plays George V in this movie; in 2003 he played Edward VII in "The Lost Prince", father of George V!! This I found very amusing and ironic.

It went with the scene. The man was angry and frustrated, so he swore.
I wonder if that scene, in which he swore, actually happened.I wonder what the Queen, who might have saw the film,thought of it too!

We know that the Queen wouldn't care - she is on record earlier in her career when she was to watch a show and people were concerned about what one of the show's stars might say. Her comment was along the lines of: 'Let him say what he likes. I am the daughter of a sailor and married to a sailor'.

I am sure that she is fully aware that her father would, on occasions, swear - just like her husband.

Yes exactly- and the movie is such a sympathetic, lovely portrait of her parents that I'm sure the Queen loved it. William said publicly that he loved it, and I doubt he'd have done that had the Queen been angry about the way her father was portrayed.

It's no secret that George VI had a temper and when feeling under pressure or frustrated could let fly.
It was probably a healthier option than bottling it up.

I watched the film a few days ago. Performances by Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush were impressive. I was not impressed by Ms. Bonham Carter's performance. Costumes were great. The portrayal was quite sugary.
