Well deserved for Firth

Rating: 7/10 (10 May 2011)

Colin Firth has been in this industry for years, decades in fact but only now is he delivering outstanding performances. He deserved his Oscar. For the film itself, while good, doesn't leave you with that feeling of a mystical awe. Lifting story no doubt. The running time is spot on because watching Firth stutter for two hours can leave you tired.
Geoffry Rush was another who deserves an applause. Playing as the commoner Aussie, he enables Viewers to cling themselves to some emotional knot. The relationship between a king and a commoner is a intriguing one and most importantly makes you feel for King George because quite frankly, i don't really give a damn about the monarch today. If Rush played a rich tutor then this film would of fallen flat on it face.
If there was one reason to watch this film, then it for Colin Firth's culminating performance. Inspiring and a delight to the eyes, The King Speech is worth watching
