It tells the true story of Prince Albert, Duke of York, who would eventually become King George VI. Unfortunately he is known to have a stuttering problem. His wife, Elizabeth hires Australian speech therapist, Lionel Logue to help Prince Albert overcome his stuttering.
The King's Speech has met critical acclaim and won numerous awards including an Academy Award for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Colin Firth), and Best Original Screenplay.
If you're a fan of the Harry Potter series, you may notice a little reunion with actors, Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Gambion, and Timothy Spall, who play Bellatrix Lestrange, Albus Dumbledore, and Peter Pettigrew respectively. And if that doesn't get you to see the film, well... I pity you. :P
I'll watch it just for the HP reunion. But naw, I've been wanting to see this I really should already.
ReplyDeleteThis movie was good, but I wanted Winter's Bone to win the oscars.

Was surprised how much I really enjoyed this film. Bummed that it swept all the major awards over Social Network & Black Swan...but still an awesome movie in its own right.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll have to check it out, eh? Looks good. :)
ReplyDeleteStill have this in my rotation, waiting to get a couple of friends together to see it, but they're hard to motivate if it doesn't include blowing stuff up.
ReplyDeletegood film that!

ReplyDeleteThis was a great movie, as a historyfag, I loved it.

ReplyDeleteLove this film. I'm not one for gratuitous swearing, but the cussing portion was hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm asking this question a lot lately, but is this film on VHS? I don't have a DVD player at the moment...
