Review of The King's Speech (2010) by Earl G — 08 Apr 2013
Hey, you should really see this! If you only see one movie this year, I very highly recommend "The King's Speech". It is a well written, excellently acted movie showing the efforts to overcome a fear.
This fear, and it's subsequent effects on the world of politics in the WWII could make the difference between the British Empire outlasting the blitz or giving in to the German/Nazi push to conquer all of Europe.
Colin Firth is wonderful as Prince Albert/King George VI and Geoffery Rush is outstanding as a therapist who is also an aspiring though untalented actor. Helena Bonham Carter is outstanding as Elizabeth (the queen mum we all know and love) and her relationship with her husband Prince Charles is one to admire.
Prince/King Edward with his mistress Wallace Simpson add just the right tension to Prince Alberts determination to have to face his fear. I could really relate to the characters in this movie, and hope it does well this year.
