[gideonmccomb]

Amanda Donohoe is a smoking hot fox.

[Chrisiant]

"I love you" comes in all shapes and forms I guess. And "You're a good little woman, Mrs. King" was just that. Lovely.

[cmsahe]

they could have filmed The Madness of King George III II :P

[j3parrots]

"Be off with you sir, back to your sheep and your pigs."

Nigel Hawthorne is obviously brilliant in this but so was Ian Holm and the guy who played Pitt forget his name.

[caitsidhe]

@j3parrots Julian Wadham.  Personally, I like Pitt, though I'm liberal. His conservatism was actually pragmatism.

Cheers for the upload

Has it finished now sir

[FrankIeroiscute]

I didn't like that film. It didn't show Prinny becoming Prince Regent and marrying princess Caroline.

[quirpco]

An excellent film, what-what!

[quirpco]

An excellent fim, what-what!

[twitface100]

thanks for posting very nice movie

[Iusedtobeacat93]

This Movie has a happy ending, too bad it wasn't that way in real life. Poor King George actually went mad again and died an old, insane and blind man *sigh*.

Anyway, Thanks For Posting :D I didn't think I would enjoy this movie as much as I did.

[helmuthoorn]

He must bave been quite a character.

Brilliantly portrayed by Nigel hawthorne here..

you know royal weddings became public events because of King George. While other european monarchs hid in their secluded palaces away from the public, King Goerge envisioned a monarchy living in the center of the city (which is the Buckingham Palace, the future house of Queen Victoria) surrounded by the people who he was anointed to reign over.

this great connection between the monarch and subjects is what makes the British monarchy unique and survive up to the present day... :)

[POTCMarc101]

LONG LIVE AND GOD SAVE THE KING AND QUEENS OF ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DeltaEagle7700]

GOD SAVE KING GEORGE!

Best friend of my country's King: HM King Kamehameha!

[blobby496]

happy ending!!!! :)

[KnightOwl2006]

An amazing film. Thanks for posting it.

I think growing up royalty would drive anybody mad.

[spiderlime]

the string section at the begining of "zadok the priest" is one of handel's triumphs.

[LawrenceOlaf]

5:46-6:34 I've never heard that version of God save the King before.

[ghughesarch]

@LawrenceOlaf It's not "God Save the King" - it's part of Handel's coronation anthem "Zadok the Priest" that happens to include the words God save the King - the full text is based on 1Kings 1:39 "Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, anointed Solomon King, and all the people rejoiced and said 'God save the King, long live the King, may the King live for ever. Allelujah. Amen".

[doobiesmoke15]

Ok, I think the King (despite being as crazy as a shit-house rat) was overall a nice guy. Why then were his servants how were so kind to him treated so poorly when he recovered?

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

I guess for a modern movie it is rather nice, though the power of the English kings and queens over the English realm has as much declined as the art created about them! Just think of the deep fall between Henry IV for example and George III so no wonder that the king did get mad; or the English mistook him: He may have only pretended to be mad in order to have the English resume the war against the Americans like Solon did in Athens because of Salamis; plus the Shakespeare quotes are amicable.

[HalfBornUnicornFetus]

As a American, I must admit, I admire George the III. He was our monarch at one point....

[OW3NS93]

@HalfBornUnicornFetus Indeed. America seems to be one of the only places that dislikes him. But honestly, the events that led to the Revolution were beyond his control. It was mainly the faults of Lord North and Parliament itself. As shown in this movie, George genuinely felt bad about losing America. And also many Americans at the time felt bad about losing George. He was a great man nonetheless

[histrav]

@OW3NS93 Yes, unfortunately, George III is remembered in a mostly-negative light in America because of the War for Independence. The King was merely a scapegoat for the grievances of those favouring independence in the colonies. The real target was Parliamentary sovereignty, but the King became the embodiment of British sovereignty in the American imagination.

thanks for posting this! hadn't seen this in years, very good movie!

[kokai83]

has anyone else been experiencing trouble with these video's when watched in full screen? like the mouse not working and not being able to exit the full screen even with escape? it's not the first time this has happened and I'm just wandering what it could be?

[juultjuh99]

Long live the Monarchies of Europe!

[ClassicalMonarchism]

Best song at the end! Zadok the Priest!

[Stravinsky91]

@ClassicalMonarchism The piece that inspired the UEFA anthem :D

[ClassicalMonarchism]

Thank you so much for uploading. It was great to watch and it was brilliantly acted. King George III was and is my favourite monarch to have ever ruled.

For God, King and country.

[anonUK]

@ClassicalMonarchism

You remember him, then?

William Rufus and King Stephen were crap though, weren't they- and the less said about George IV and Edward II, the better.

[Shangas]

The terrible thing is, this happy note that the film ends on, was not the end of it all. The king's illness returned later, driving him completely insane. He went blind and spent his last months locked in a cell for his own protection. His son became Prince Regent, and later King George IV.

[MrT639]

Whats the song called at 2:18?

[Ezekiel199]

Thank you for posting!

[icebobabowser]

[anonUK]

And God help the Duke of Edinburgh.

[MonsieurClash]

What is the songs name at 0:55?

[BritainShallPrevail]

@MonsieurClash Its La Réjouissance (4th Movement) from Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks (HWV 351)

[MonsieurClash]

@BritainShallPrevail Thank you so much!!! I just love this music!

[Freedom21stCenturi]

@BritainShallPrevail Hey. Whats the song at 4:40?

[Freedom21stCenturi]

@BritainShallPrevail I know it is "God save the king" but this is the best version I've heard. Know it?

[mf2101]
