a true classic. Oscar worthy no doubt

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2011)

this is one of the best movies of the year. its to bad its not in all theaters only some. anyway this is a movie about the duke of york George (colin firth) later on in the movie to become king has a problem speaking publicly. he and his wife (helen bohman carter) says to Lionel his speech teacher (Geoffrey rush) says they need to help him cause they've seen everyone else. i like in there first meeting that Lionel isn't treating him like royal. because George doesn't want to do this in the first place. but he comes to his senses and thats were the fun begins. i liked the scene he tells Lionel that the people hes seen says smoking helps people speak better. Lionel responds there stupid. George gos to the defense and says they've been knighted. Lionel replies makes it official then. funny and clever. anyway i like that Lionel makes the soon to be king follow his rules and pushes him to help him even if George doesn't realize it. he decides to get personal and soon the king and Lionel have a friendship which i like. Lionel's methods worked and helped the king a lot. there is great acting a great cast and Oscar winning performances. i hope Geoffrey rush wins the Oscar for best supporting actor because he was my favorite in the film. a brilliant film. see it most defidently.
