Watch it for Colin Firth and Geoffery Rush

Rating: Null/10 (9 March 2011)

The King's Speech: I dreaded that this movie would be really serious boring and predictable. But I was surprised to find that it had its comedic moments and little surprises thrown with the beautiful background and architecture of the British Empire. Colin Firth gives an Oscar winning performance .It was good to see Helena Bonham Carter playing a normal person and not one of the weirdos for a change who cares about her husband and has a quiet self-assurance that in the end he would come out triumphs. The life of the movie is actually Geoffrey Rush who is given the tough job of a guy who confidently steers stammers/people with speech problems to confident speakers and pulls it off with dignified grace given the surprising background lurking in his past sprung suddenly on the audience. It's so nice to know that there are people who go back to history and dig out stories of strength and vulnerabilities of historical or royal figures. Watching 4-5 movies a week feels like reading 5 books of entirely different topics and is a really fulfilling experience for me.
