g-g-g-great!

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 2010)

The king's speech is the story of king George the VI, of how he had to become king (because his brother wanted to marry a divorcÃ©e),and how he stammered and went to see an Australian speech therapist. This is a very enjoyable film; the acting's great, the cast is wonderful and the script is very theatrical. Normally this kind of film wants to give you a good feeling about old fashioned values which is tricky to achieve, but in this case it works and almost makes you wish you lived at that time. The adding of funny bits is very successful and in the moments when he has to give any kind of speech it's very tense (in a good way I mean). The film leaves you with a very curious feeling; you kind of think how it would be to stammer, and you might also think that if you've got any problem in life it's not as bad as you think. So I guess if you're reading this to know if it's worth going to see it on the big screen, my answer is OF COURSE!
