Worthy of the Oscar

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2013)

The King's Speech was a worthy Oscar winner, one of the best films I watched in the year. It is very well executed with good to excellent performances from everyone involved in the film. The cinematography is also very good and the soundtrack features the second movement of Beethoven's 7th symphony, one of the best pieces of classical music.
The plot revolves around the personal problems of the king of England in dealing with his speech impediments and the social bonds he formed with the people involved (the speech doctor and his family, mostly).
Overall, it is not a masterpiece, but it is not a simple forgettable film either.
