Freeman, David. “Perspective: How True Is ‘The King’s Speech’?” Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles Times, 13 Feb. 2011. Web. 09 Mar. 2014.
The LA times is digging deep into the sources that David Seidler used when writing the screenplay for The Kings Speech. When Seilder was interviewed by LA times he was reported at being ambiguous about what sources he used to get his information to write the script. The official biography published in 1958 was one of the sources he admitted to. The LA time’s goal for this article was not to blast David Seilder and the sources he used, and why people believe some aspects were inaccurate, but to explain to those people that Seiler is just trying to tell a good story. Yes, he might have to tweak the record a bit, but all in all, he produced an award winning movie.
The LA times review on The Kings Speech will be useful to me because it talks about why movies are made. They are made to entertain people, and not made to please every critic or historian. I think the LA times did a good job at backing up the film in a way that the writers wanted people to see the movie. The movie was made for people to enjoy and to understand what happened during that time. This is helpful in my argument to the people who enjoyed the film, for the reasons that the LA times supported about the film.
