Powerful movie

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2012)

The Kings Speech moved me strongly. I used to have a pretty bad stutter problem, so I could really understand George.
You could ask what all the fuss is about. It's only about a man who has a hard times pronouncing words, and also the royal house is so distant. Why should we care and why should this story be told? I think the story is relevant because it is very basic. George wants his father to love him, but every time he opens his mouth, he proves what a failure he is. Still, we can see he is a decent man. I liked that. I also liked Elizabeth. They have a happy marriage and wonderful kids, and it is of great comfort to the viewer as well as to George himself.
Geoffrey Rush plays an unconventional speech therapist. He is from a different walk of life, a con artist, but they eventually develop a friendship that carries the movie to the end. That is when George has to declare war on Nazi Germany. Broadcasted to the entire civilized world. You know the rest and I did, too. But still it touched me to the bone.
