I went to a cinema to watch the Oscar hit THE KING'S SPEECH in Delhi. Indian newspapers reported a lot on the Oscar night last week. But it turned out that only less than two dozens of people watching this English film. I cann't believe it happens in Movie Kingdom India. Oh I guess maybe Indian people love Bollywood more than any wood else. Yes, it's true. When I went out I saw floods of people coming to watch the next film-of course Bollywood film-Taru Weds Manu, a drama. The ticket prices are the same: about 5 US dollars or RMB 33 yuan. If it were in China, any big Oscar hit would attract throngs of people.
The Speech is a concise, clear and simple film. I don't think it involves big money in production. It's quite different from Titanic which boasted grandeur scenes and enormous inputs of resources. It's a pity that Englishmen always suffer from want of sunshine. I did not see sunshine in the film. It helped me to learn history of that period.
