Picture: GoogleYesterday I went to the cinema with my mother and brother to see "The King's Speech" featuring Colin Firth who plays King George VI of Britain and Geoffrey Rush who plays Lionel Logue, speech therapist.
Peter Bradshaw who writes reviews for The Guardian writes the following,
"Tom Hooper's richly enjoyable and handsomely produced movie about George VI's struggle to cure his stammer is a massively confident crowd-pleaser. What looks at first like an conventional Brit period drama about royals is actually a witty and elegant new perspective on the abdication crisis and on the dysfunctional quiver at the heart of the Windsors and of prewar Britain. It suggests there was a time when a member of the royal household experimented with psychoanalysis – disguised as speech therapy."
I've been told that this film has been nominated to win several Oscars in nearly 12 different categories. The journalist John Lopez writes for Vanity Fair and explains why he believes Colin Firth is to be awarded this honourable award as the "Best Actor".
"It’s a tale that’s been told a thousand times, but ever since Arthur pulled a sword from that stone, the story of a king finding his voice has proven a potent archetype that can move even the most ardent populist’s heart.
When that tale’s so elegantly and charmingly told, and when that king is so vividly brought to life by Colin Firth’s overwhelming humanity and grace, the Oscar crown can’t be too far from reach." Watch the trailer here! :)
