Review of The King's Speech (2010) by Simon H — 15 Oct 2012

There is one word that can sum up this movie: wow. After watching it I was...speechless (don't mind the pun). This movie DID deserve all those Oscars. It's such a touching story. I could really connect with King George, because all my life I've had a lisp and the phenomenon known as tongue-tie. Both of those aren't that noticeable due to the speech classes I had to take in my youth, but it still slips. I've never had to give nationalized speeches to millions of people, but I did/do have to give speeches in front of my peers. All his life he was teased and harassed because of his stammer. Even by his own brother. They use to call him B-B-Bertie. That's awful. Lucky for me I have no siblings.

I was worried I would be bored after a while, but they kept my attention throughout the whole movie. I enjoyed every minute of it! The only thing I can think of that I didn't like was the Archbishop who was played by Derek Jacobi. He was jerk. Also, if I had made the movie I would've showed a flashback of George's childhood when he was talking about it. Perhaps they should have focused a little more on Lionel's life too. Besides that I can't think of anything thing else. This was a great movie.

Out of five stars, I'll have to give it five stars. ^.^ If you have any like of history or a good movie, you should watch this. It's a great inspirational movie that will live on through the decades. I know I'll be re-watching this movie a time or two in the near future.
