The King's Speech (2010)

8.5/10
[highly recommended]

Marvelous film with fantastic acting and great writing.

I have been wanting to watch this movie for ages but never had the chance to until my flight.

The King's Speech is about the story of King George VI of Britain, his impromptu ascension to the throne and the speech therapist who helped the unsure monarch become worthy of it. (imdb)

The King's Speech is very inspirational as we see the struggles that King George VI, portrayed by Colin Firth, went through in becoming king. We all have experienced some sort of struggle during our lives, but we did not have the whole nation watching us when we went through our struggles.

Colin Firth did a astounding job as King George VI earning him a well deserved Best Actor Oscar. Firth is able to embody the character so well that I was inclined to stand up at the end of the movie and clap...despite the fact that i was on a plane. Geoffrey Rush beauti fully supported Firth's character.

The cinematography is worth noting as the film uses many alternating shots in one scene. Watch for the different framing techniques used in between characters.

Overall a brilliantly motivating film that MUST be watched! I loved it :D
