The Kings Speech is based on the true story of King George VI of Britain, his impromptu ascension to the throne and the speech therapist who helped the unsure monarch become worthy of it. Colin Firth, who I liked in Love Actually, plays the King and shows that he will win the Oscar for his performance. Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush is also excellent as the speech therapist. Director Tom Hooper does a great job of capturing the mood of post war England. He also keeps the story simple so that people who are not history buffs will be able to enjoy the movie.
I was on line to see this movie and several people in front of me were paying to see it again.
Verdict:
Believe the hype and go see two of the Best Actors, Firth and Rush, at the top of their game. Firth will win the Oscar and I will be seeing this again.
