Great movie!

A brilliant story involving British royalty in a way that has relevance to the current British Queen Elizabeth, to the adbidication of Edward for Baltimore socialite Wallis Simpson, to WW II, to Hitler, as well as class boundaries, to the simple challenge public speaking, to leadership - all surrounding the rather remarkably vulnerable story of a central figure in the midst of those historic events about whom I personally knew nothing prior to seeing this film. And incredible in that it is true. This film just won the Oscar for Best Film a few days ago, and a colleague who is in the film-making biz recently told me it was the "best film" he'd "ever seen". So that was a lot to live up to. Well I don't know if it was the best film I personally have ever seen, but it was definitely excellent, and I can see why it won the Oscar. Not a chick flick, not a guy's adventure film. Just a fascinating film about a true story with interesting insights into history, engaging dialogue and intriguing character development. Highly recommended.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
