Something wonderful happened at the Kodak Theatre last night. A movie won four Oscars. The King's Speech won an Oscar for Best Picture and it had NO violence and NO explicit, instructional SEX in it. NO guns exploded on-screen to create momentary deafness in the eardrums, NO one was beaten up, scarred or mutilated. NO one was tortured or cut into little pieces. NO cars drove through the market upsetting apple carts, scattering people from the screen, etc.
Egads, could this generation of movie goers be refining their tastes in entertainment? Are we becoming an enlightened people?

I think the King's Speech resonates with a wide audience because so many people are going through a very tough period right now. Movie heroes can entertain us, but it's hard to be inspired by them when we know so much of what we see on the screen is a special effect.
