in order to care about what happens to the characters in the film...

(Which is actually in there, just not to the extent that he would like it to be)

And kinda makes me wonder if he were not misled by the title of the film...

It's understandable; there *is* a possible double meaning in the title "The King's Speech"... maybe more...

Even still, the movie's not meant to be seen as a historical document about the events and processes and alleged nation-saving speeches leading to the British involvement in World War II; this is not that story. So one possible reading of the title is actually incorrect.
