"The King's Speech"

[rhu]

Heather and I went to one of those moving-picture thingies tonight and saw "The King's Speech." We enjoyed it, and no one out there really needs another review, but I just wanted to register that the music for this film was absolutely horrid. The inconsistent use of the Mozart was bad enough, the original music was overwrought, but when the British King is addressing the nation at the start of World War II, is it really the best choice to underscore with Beethoven, a German composer?
