"I think English film is very embarrassed by patriotism, generally." ― Tom Hooper Topic(s): Romantic Tags: english, think More From Tom Hooper "I think I would say ‘The King’s Speech’ is surprisingly funny, in fact the audiences in London, Toronto, LA, New York commented there’s more laughter in this film than in most comedies, while it is also a moving tear-jerker with an uplifting ending." "American movies are often very good at mining those great underlying myths that make films robustly travel across class, age, gender, culture." "I mean, we’ve all had those dreams where, you know, we try to cry out and our voice won’t come."

Looked at from a certain point of view, they are picturesque. If one will put oneself in a romantic frame of mind, one can admire their notions of chivalry and bravery and justice."― James Weldon Johnson "No, actually ‘The Host’ was totally a palate-cleanser for me. I wanted to do something a little bit different than romantic love. Romantic love is in there, obviously, because I enjoy writing about that and living it a lot."― Stephenie Meyer
