Movie Review: The Kings Speech


If you have seen this movie, keep on reading. If you have not seen this movie yet, then spoilers await you. You have been warned.

A comedy, drama, and historical film, directed by Tom Hopper. Starring Collin Firth and Geoffrey Rush. "The Kings Speech" is on of the best movies of 2010. It begins with the cowardice of a prince and ends with audacity of a king.

  World War II is upon us in this film. The people of England are looking for inspirational words from there king. Well sadly England's king George VI (Collin Firth) has speech impediment (aka he stutter's while talking). So he can not give his rally speech to his people right away.

  He and his wife (Helen Bonham Carter, who later becomes Queen of England) go see many therapists that can help him cure his stuttering. Many of the therapists tried but could not cure him. Except for one Aussie therapist played brilliantly by Geoffrey Rush. When Rush and Firth first meet each other they dislike each other, but with Rush's methods of curing Firth's voice and helping him with the speech that impacts all of England and the movie itself, they soon become best friends and a comedy duo that will make you laugh out loud.

  Even though it is the friendship of these two men that are the heart of the film we can not forget that Michael Gambon and Guy Pearce (who are very well know actors) play supporting roles as members of the royal family. It's always good to see these actors involvement, and "The Kings Speech" is no exception.

  Final Verdict: I'll say it again "The Kings Speech" is one of the best movies of 2010. Now that's a lot coming from me, since I love action, adventure, si-fi, and fantasy movies. This film is not one of those. For me this movie was easy to follow and understand. This movie sets out everything it needs to do. When I was leaving the theater, I felt like, actually I don't know how I felt, because it was that good of a movie. :) If I had to pick an emotion or a feeling of this movie I would say "this movie is worth an Oscar".  I give this 10 out of 10.
