The King speaks. Long live the King!

Rating: 9/10 (1 February 2011)

Kings speech left me speechless... well not really because I wanted to tell everyone how great this movies is, but it did left me speechless as a cinematographic, visual masterpiece.
I have to admit I had no background knowledge of King George VI life. I probably wouldn't even care much about it if I was seeing the same story as some black and white documentary on Discovery channel. Because it just wouldn't be able to carry over the story so nicely as it did here.
Yes, the movie does last almost 2 hours but by the end of it you are actually wishing it was a series and that the next week there would be another episode...
What really surprised me is that this movie had more comedic moments than many of those that label themselves as comedies! Some scenes were just dead funny - of course most of them were between Bertie (Firth) and Logue (Rush) which were able to transcend the plateau of human emotions so gracefully onto the screen.
I always believed there is a difference between actors and stars and when one watches Kings Speech you can easily spot where that difference lays. So big kudos to all of the actors that made this movie and absolute moviegoers delight.
And because of the all of the above, and the wonderful connection between all of the actors, the actual kings speech, the one that whole movie revolves around, becomes an experience in itself and not just a king addressing the Nation. The king can speak! Long live the king!
