The Madness of King George (1994)

The Madness of King George
When I first heard of this film I remember hearing how funny people thought this film was, how they liked making fun of the King, and so on. But when seeing it, I realized how sad and depressing it was. I for one wouldn't put it as a comedy. True, a few moments where light and warmed your heart, but for the most part its sad and bittersweet. I found myself crying throughout the show.

The acting was brilliant and the script was moving and it truly shows how George III suffered.

Of course some things where historically inaccurate, such as the attempt on his life happened several years before; the map of America didn't look like that yet; and the quote the King said about sleep was actually said by Napoleon Bonaparte, and if you know their relationship, you'd know they never agreed on anything.

It is said that the King suffered from poryphia. I had a relative who suffered from it as well and it's not easy to deal with.

I really feel deep sympathy for the King, his disease was horrible and his son was no better.

I loved this show, though if you cry easily, bring tissues.

Great Film
I haven't had a chance yet to watch my DVD. But I went to the show to see thim movie when it first came out & I've seen it on HBO a couple times. It's just a great film & I've always wanted to buy it.
