A Must See!

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2011)

And The Best Director Oscar Goes To.... Tom Hooper in 'The King's Speech'. And The Best Actor Oscar Goes To.... Colin Firth in 'The King's Speech'. And The Best Film Oscar Goes To... 'The King's Speech'. It even won Original Screenplay.
Now, 'The King's Speech' is a deserving film. Though, I loved 'The Social Network, 'Winter's Bone' & 'The Fighter' more, yet I cannot over-look this acclaimed film.
Tom Hooper's 'The King's Speech' tells the story King George VI, who, to overcome his stutter, is introduced to Lionel Logue, an unorthodox speech therapist. The two men become friends as they work together, and thus begins a journey of friendship & responsibility.
'The King's Speech' is about a Man trying to Voice his opinion. Oscar-Winner Tom Hooper makes his protagonist interesting & subdued at the same time. He uses him. He makes him human & down-to-earth. Splendid Job, Mr. Hooper! The Screenplay is wonderful, so is the Cinematography.
Colin Firth delivers remarkably as the King and makes his Oscar Win seem justified. Watch him in the scene when he begins to weep near his wife, and by saying he's not worthy begin a king. It's simply superb! Geoffrey Rush scores as Logue. Rush is a limitless talent and here's another performance that proves that fact. Helena Bonham Carter is charming as the Queen. Guy Pearce is another topper. Michael Gambon is very good. Others support well.
On the whole, 'The King's Speech' is A Must See. Though not my most favorite film of 2010, it surely impressed me big time. Two Thumbs Up!
