I finally got around to watching "The King's Speech" tonight. I loved this movie! Colin Firth rightfully earned an Oscar for his portrayal of King George VI in this film. This film is based on the true story of the King of England, and father of Queen Elizabeth. The king always lived in the shadow of his older brother, especially since he suffered from stuttering. With the invention of the radio and microphones, the British royalty are now required to make more public speeches. Geoffrey Rush did a tremendous job as the speech therapist who helped the king overcome his stutter with his very unconventional methods. Despite the serious content matter of the film, it was heartwarming and had many funny moments. I would recommend this film to anyone, even those who are hesitant about historical dramas or British films.
The film was practically perfect. The story flowed well, the characters were well-developed, the cinematography was great, and the acting was superb. It gets 5 out of 5 stars. Go watch it today!
