Running Time: 118 min.
The Kings Speech is possibly the most beautifully done movies of not only this year (released in 2010 though), but of all time. It tells the story of King George VI (played by Colin Firth) and of how he conquered his stammering problem with the help of Lionel Logue (played by Geoffrey Rush) and his wife Queen Elizabeth (played by Helena Bonham Carter). Now all I have to say that this movie was nearly perfect. Colin Firth out acts everyone in this movie. When you watch him on screen he appears as this poor troubled soul just looking for help and is a loving husband and father who does this to be closer to his children. .He sells to an amazing degree and I honestly couldn't tell that he learned how to stammer to portray the role. Even though Firth out acted everyone, he still had some major competition. Specifically, with co-star Geoffrey Rush as Lionel Logue. He is indeed the closest friend that Colin Firth had. My only extremely minor complaint was that we didn't get to see more of Geoffrey Rush's family and I found that kind of strange. By far this is one of the greatest movies of last year and I'd be suprised if Colin Firth didn't win the Oscar. Tune in tomorrow for my review of...The Fighter.
Rating 5/5
