That's how movies should be made!

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2011)

Movie-making at its finest! The King's Speech shows that it is not the great story or the great characters that make a movie worth watching... it is all about how this movie is made.
King George VI was a stammer. A trivial fact that you might come across in history books. To build up a motivational and heart-wrenching story based on this very simple piece of information that you will probably pass by and take slightly in any other occasion is absolute brilliance! The King's Speech is not about a speech or a stuttering king, it is about finding the courage in each one of us through making peace with our fears and tolerating our shortcomings.
The movie was touching, witty (thanks to the unbelievably beautiful script) and sometimes incredibly funny! The performance was epic. Geoffrey Rush was adorable as usual as the king's speech therapist. Guy Pearce deserves an applause for his small, yet eye-catching role as King George's flamboyant brother. As for Colin Firth, I used to love the guy.. but now I love him even more and more. A lifetime, unforgettable performance by the extremely talented and very decent Mr. Firth. He certainly deserves every ounce of gold in the Oscar he grabbed for this role.
