The King's Speech

For my movie review I have selected the 2011 movie: The Kings Speech. This movie is based on the life of “Bertie”, later crowned King George VI of England (Colin Firth), his loving wife Elizabeth, who later becomes Queen Mary (Helena Bonham Carter), and his unorthodox but effective speech therapist, Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). Bertie, the son of King George V (Michael Gambon) is viewed as unfit to be king due to his stammer. Bertie knew this all along but plans change after his father, King George V, dies and his brother King Edward VIII (Guy Pearce) scandalously abdicates the throne to marry a twice divorced American woman. Now the man that many have long viewed as unfit to rule the nation is King and war is looming on the horizon. That war does come on September 3^rd, 1939. On that same day, the King made the speech of his life to his people.

             Below is the King George's Speech from September 3rd, 1939

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

I chose to do my third essay on the trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. I think this commercial glorifies war and promotes violence. There are many who disagree which provides for an anti-thesis.

The above video and links to the makers of Call of Duty can be found on youtube at: http://www.youtube.com/callofduty
