the king's speech

good evening! today, PIG mum took me to garbo to see the king's speech! personally, i thought that colin firth was much sexier when he was mr. darcy :P, but there was some great music, and PIG mum managed not to bawl her eyes out! anyways, here are all my favourite trivia, goofs and quotes, courtesy of imdb!
trivia first:
-The film was originally rated 15 by the BBFC, for 17 occurrences of the word "fuck", but on appeal this was reduced to 12A, with the information "Contains strong language in a speech therapy context". This extended the controversy started a few weeks earlier when Made in Dagenham (2010) was assigned a 15 certificate solely for 19 occurrences of the word "fuck" in casual speech.
- quotes next (hey, i'm surprised there's only one piece of trivia!):
-Lionel Logue: What was your earliest memory?
King George VI: I'm not... -here to discuss... -personal matters.
Lionel Logue: Why are you here then?
King George VI: Because I bloody well stammer!
-King George VI: [Logue is sitting on the coronation throne] Get up! Y-you can't sit there! GET UP!
Lionel Logue: Why not? It's a chair.
King George VI: T-that... that is Saint Edward's chair.
Lionel Logue: People have carved their names on it.
King George VI: L-listen to me... listen to me!
Lionel Logue: Why should I waste my time listening to you?
King George VI: Because I have a voice!
Lionel Logue: ...yes, you do.
-[watching a clip of Hitler speaking]
Lilibet: What's he saying?
King George VI: I don't know but... he seems to be saying it rather well.
-Lionel Logue: [as George "Berty" is lighting up a cigarette] Don't do that in here.
King George VI: Why not?
Lionel Logue: Sucking smoke into your lungs will kill you.
King George VI: My physicians tell me it helps to relax the throat.
Lionel Logue: They're idiots.
King George VI: They've been knighted.
Lionel Logue: Makes it official then.
-King George VI: If I am King, where is my power? Can I declare war? Form a government? Levy a tax? No! And yet I am the seat of all authority because they think that when I speak, I speak for them.
-Lionel Logue: Do you know the "f" word?
King George VI: Ffff... fornication?
-and lastly, bloopers!
-Continuity: During the scene when Queen Elizabeth first engages Logue in his office, her veil is down in every take but one, when it suddenly appears flipped up, and then is back down in the next take.

-Anachronisms: During one of the sessions with Lionel Logue taking place in 1934, "Bertie" referred to the Soviet leader as "Marshal Stalin" while describing political situation in the world. However, Joseph Stalin was appointed Marshal of the Soviet Union almost 10 years later, in March 1943.

-Continuity: When King George VI is practicing his wartime speech he throws his papers to the floor in frustration. His wife walks in and a split second later the camera returns to King George, who is still holding his speech, even though there would have been no time to regather them.
all in all, 'twas a wonderful movie! my hugest thanks to PIG mum who even bought some popcorn for us to share! :D
