So, it's finally Spring Break and I'm trying to get as many words down on paper as possible. I've been thinking about the connection between "King's Speech" and "Harry Potter" lately, and I think that it's especially interesting that they are both remakes of sorts–on of history and one of novel. In that way, they both have a certain obligation to their audiences that they can choose to fulfill or not. They are also both British films that were able to draw huge U.S. audiences, and in the case of "King's Speech," win the biggest Academy Award. Perhaps if I have enough material on the both of them I will limit my paper to just these two films because I think that it will ultimately be more cohesive.
