A touching historical drama

Rating: Null/10 (29 January 2011)

This film is about King George VI and his long battle to overcome his stammer.
I like the "The King's Speech", as it can be interpreted in two ways: the speech that the king gives, and the king's way of speaking. The film is about both of these interpretations. It is quite an achievement to make something that does not sound so interesting into something so captivating and touching. King George VI's lack of confidence and his fragile psychological state is well portrayed by Colin Firth. He has the charisma, charm and acting skills to make his character so interesting and sympathetic. He shows that human side of a supposedly strong character well. "The King's Speech" is a touching historical drama.
