Colin Firth is making a film about stammering. Thank God we won't have to hear him sing! Or maybe we will. Sometimes people who struggle to speak try to sing it instead.
Should be hilarious. Anyone who says they haven't fought the giggles as someone wey-heys and barks while clawing desperately for consonants is lying through their smooth-talking teeth. It IS funny, in a horrible, gut-clenching, embarrassing sort of way. Comedy would be dead if nobody poked fun any more.
But I bet this is one of the bravest films we'll watch this year. The King's Speech is already winning standing ovations and is tipped for a Best Picture Oscar. Haven't seen it yet but I hope it wins. Everyone who goes out there every day and carries on trying while we hide our smiles behind our hands deserves a medal or at least our understanding. Nice one Colin.
