"Like" My Speech?

The two best movies of 2010 are, I think, "Social Network" and "The King's Speech." "Network" probably appeals more to viewers under age 40 and "Speech" to those over 40. Both films contain constantly literate, engaging dialog; "Network" unfolds rapidly, "Speech" slowly. "Network" might achieve the improbable, namely, leaving the audience sympathetic with the millionaire founders of websites; and "Speech" might achieve its improbable, leaving its audience sympathetic to the British royal family. And seeing both movies, I'm anxious to write a speech and deliver it via Facebook.
