Connor Macgregor Reviews...The King's Speech
I never really thought about seeing this film, but then i decided why not? But i am annoyed that it was shown in America first before being seen in The UK when it is fact...a British Film.
The King's Speech Tells the story of the man who became King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II. After his brother abdicates, George ('Bertie') reluctantly assumes the throne. Plagued by a dreaded stammer and considered unfit to be king, Bertie engages the help of an unorthodox speech therapist named Lionel Logue. Through a set of unexpected techniques, and as a result of an unlikely friendship, Bertie is able to find his voice and boldly lead the country through war.
Honestly, this film is pretty wonderful in many ways. I think this film firstly is very rich in how it presents itself. Its a very classy film, yet also very witty too. I love the colour, tone and the importance of the story it presents on screen. Hooper's direction is very well done and the script is presented excellently.
Colin Firth steals the film with his wonderful marvelous performance as King George VI. Firth is an actor who can give a role a proper personality and make it incredibly realistic. Helena Bonhem Carter also gave a charming performance as The Queen Mother. She actually resembled her in a way, but Helena resembles alot of people in a lot of roles, and i also forgot about Bellatrix Lestrange in a minute. But again...i have always forgtton about Bellatrix as Helena is that good. But also i cannot forget Geoffrey Rush as Lionel Logue. Charming Actor with a charming performance which gave the film its wit and strong power that makes films like The King's Speech really be brilliant.
Overall, The King's Speech is a beautiful film with real colour, performance and excitement to see in this film. Do see it and you will see why it is nominated for 14 awards.
