Colin Firth at his Oscar winning finest

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2014)

Tom Hooper's The King's Speech tells the true story of King George VI (played by Colin Firth) who as we see in the movie has a speech problem and can't deliver speeches without stammering. And so his wife Elizabeth (played by Helena Bonham Carter) takes him to speech therapy in which his therapist is a failed actor named Lionel Logue (played by Geoffrey Rush) who realizes that they need to make friends in order to have good times together during therapy even though they are exact opposites. Hooper uses a very good cast (besides Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, and Helena Bonham Carter.) which includes Guy Pearce as George's brother Edward, Michael Gambon who is unrecognizable as King George V, Derek Jacobi as the Archbishop, 1'and many mire. The movie is dramatic throughout most of the film but is also humorous in some scenes as well. The movie itself is well done because of how it was written and thanks to the wonderful acting and the masterful direction by Tom Hooper.
