The King's Speech/YMMV

Ending Fatigue: OK, he's made the speech. Now? No, he has to go and, um, wave. And he's still waving. And still waving. And more waving... Not the worst ever, but still.
- Well, the movie is called "The King's Speech", not "The King's Coronation".
Fandom Rivalry: Fans of the film look set to be duking it out with primary Oscar rival The Social Network partisans for years to come. Look for plenty of Award Snub accusations to fly regardless of which film wins Best Picture.
- And that's before factoring in the rabid Inception and Toy Story 3 fandoms.
Funny Moments: The swearing scene. Random swearing is not exactly funny, but Bertie is so emphatic, so enthusiastic about it, one cannot help but laugh. Also, the inclusion of a soft little "tits" at the end could very well be like a Precision F-Strike.
Memetic Mutation: Bertie's Cluster F-Bomb speech is slowly becoming this.
Tear Jerker: The scene where Bertie accounts his childhood trauma, including the death of his epileptic brother, not only does this, but also firmly cements him as The Woobie.
- Also, his first attempt to speak publicly at the beginning of the movie is rather painful to watch.
- The first time he sees his daughters as king. They start to run toward him before checking themselves and curtsying. His expression is heartbreaking.
  - It's made even worse when, if you watch the movie once more, you hear him berating Lionel about how his becoming King had ruined his family
- The entire scene at Balmoral, but especially when David makes fun of Bertie to the point of speechlessness. In that scene, David is Jerkass incarnate.
- When Bertie broke down crying because he had no idea how to handle the pressure.

"I'm just a naval officer... [sobs] I don't know how to do anything else..."

- The scene where King George V is confused due to illness and asks his wife whether they will be skating later that day. Her expression as she tells him that they aren't implies that they had this conversation several times and she's slowly losing her husband. Followed shortly by the king affectionately holding the hand of his nurse, in a way that doesn't make it clear whether he can't tell that the nurse isn't his wife, or is a comment on how the Stiff Upper Lip royals just don't know how to be warm and open with each other. Either way, it's tragic.
What Happened to the Mouse?: During the film we see several speeches of Albert where he just can't get the words out. Then it cuts to the next scene. What happened? Did he give the speech? Did he just leave? Did he just stand there for 20 minutes?
- Probably left, out of embrassement.
- Or maybe he finished the speech and it took him quite a long time to do so. Anyway, there isn't really a need to show all those speeches from the beginning to the end, they just imply whether he's made progress or not.
The Woobie: The premise initially sounds fairly humorous, until you watch the film and realize how much Albert's Speech Impediment has robbed him of the ability to express himself. Not to mention his piss poor childhood.
- To wit: for most of his life, pretty much his whole family except for his wife and children have either neglected him, physically abused him (including a nanny who would withhold food from him), belittled him, or made fun of the speech impediment that likely resulted from the crap they put him through. Then, in adulthood, after his brother abdicates to run off with a Nazi sympathizer, it falls to him to be the symbolic moral leader of England during World War II.
  - The nanny bit was somewhat exaggerated in the movie. IRL it was David whom the nanny pinched, and Bertie wasn't really denied food, but apparently developed anorexia all by himself. This didn't make his upbringing any more pleasant, though.
