I think this is one of the best films ever made. Firth gives one of the most poignant and affective performances ever by a male movie star. I only just heard about it last night at a New Year's Eve party. The screenplay, written by David Seidler who also wrote Tucker: The Man and homepage his Dream , is excellent. There were a lot of elderly folks in the theatre when I saw The King's Speech. This is something which his new speech therapist suggests he use as a practise tool in the one scene which earned the film an R rating.
The King's Speech is a feel good movie, but a very adult one, and while it tells a good story, well scripted, homepage absorbing and believable except for an odd line or two , Tom Hooper's film is far more driven by character than by plot. Little did he know she would live to be 101 and he would have to wait another 30 years. David Seidler's script is brilliant. Another interesting tidbit we learned was that near the end of the shoot, the crew finally located one of Lionel Logue's grandsons, who just so happened to live about 10 minutes away from the director. It boosted my appreciation of the human capacity to become our best selves, and rise to meet even the most daunting challenges. . Above this chaos, confusion, and unrest, rises a weak shell of a man to greatness.
The only time he doesn't stammer is oddly enough when he curses.

The King's Speech boasts an exceptional British cast, which includes Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Gambon, Derek Jacobi and Guy Pearce, all of whom help contribute to the picture with the smallest amount of screen time. It will tear at your guts.
I can not ever recall, while watching a film, having to choke back tears for over an hour and a half. It so happens that he was royal, and that was a large part of his problem- but the film isn't so much about royalty as a human story. He is absorbed in the role of the stammering king who is timid, low in self-confidence, and frustrated but perfectly warm-hearted.

Through a set of unexpected techniques, and as a result of an unlikely friendship, Bertie is able to find his voice and boldly lead the country through war. You may need to see it to believe it but, Colin Firth has no obvious competition for the best actor awards which are coming his way. Their exchange of dialogue is flawless. There is also no question is arguing that it is among the very best of the year. The acting is superb, especially from the three principals, and the development of the troubled and sparky relationship at the heart of the film is a joy to watch.
They got access to Lionel's diaries and correspondence and managed to incorporate some of it into the script. This is the kind of performance, and film overall, that you leave thinking to yourself that you've just seen the greatest movie ever. After his brother abdicates, George 'Bertie' reluctantly assumes the throne. As the film develops, the complexities of the character are revealed. Knowing that the country needs her husband to be able to communicate effectively, Elizabeth hires Lionel Logue, an Australian actor and speech therapist, to help him overcome his stammer. It could prove inspirational to anyone with communication difficulties. In your face at others.
The King's Speech says a mouthful, and it warms the heart without question. I could write for hours about this film. It takes leadership to confront a nation's fear. He's gouged a chasm through it. I was literally slapping my knee during some of the scenes. He dutifully asked the Queen Mother for permission. The story is laid out cleverly.
An extraordinary friendship develops between the two men, as Logue uses unconventional means to teach the monarch how to speak with confidence. Plagued by a dreaded stammer and considered unfit to be king, Bertie engages the help of an unorthodox speech therapist named Lionel Logue. Colin Firth is the vessel for that transformation and if he doesn't win an Oscar for this performance it will tarnish the Academy forever in my humble opinion. Where, inside himself, an actor goes for a performance like this, is beyond my comprehension. Widely considered by all but his father unfit to be king, George is reluctantly thrust unto the throne and into the spotlight after his brother is forced to abdicate. You might also, as I did, gain a bit more insight into the human drama behind a significant, but relatively unexplored period of British history.
