A wonderful movie - Educational, inspirational and a Must See

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2011)

I believe this is the only movie I have given a "10" to - perhaps one other. There are so many levels and angles one could use to describe this movie.
One could take pity on a man for whom most of the world would believe had it "comfortable" - particularly in the background of the Great Depression - but one learns early that "Mr. Johnson" had his own deep problems and unlike most of us had to alternative but to face them head on.
When I saw his 2 young daughters history suddenly came alive for me, realizing that they were Elizabeth and Margaret.
There is some dry British humor when the speech therapist asks "Mrs. Johnson" if her husband can avoid speaking engagements.
History comes alive in this movie that is entertaining, educational and inspirational.
I left the theater believing George VI was a man who had a terrible handicap to overcome and through humility and guts, did so while leading Britain through her most terrible period.
This is easily the best movie I have seen in some years.
