American cinema tends to express a patriotic relationship to national identity on a regular basis. – Tom Hooper
In The Kings Speech, patriotism is utterly contained within a historical moment, the third of September, 1939, where the aggressor is clear, the fight is clear, it hasnt become complicated over time. – Tom Hooper
I mean, weve all had those dreams where, you know, we try to cry out and our voice wont come. – Tom Hooper
I think I would say The Kings Speech is surprisingly funny, in fact the audiences in London, Toronto, LA, New York commented theres more laughter in this film than in most comedies, while it is also a moving tear-jerker with an uplifting ending. – Tom Hooper
