The King's Speech


The King's Speech is a movie by Tom Hooper. It won four Oscars in 2011.

This is the true story of George VI (played by Colin Firth, Oscar for Best Actor), a shy man with a stammer, who had to become King of Britain after his brother Edward VIII abdicated to marry a woman who had already been married twice.

The film shows George VI's fight to overcome his fear of speaking in public, with the essential help of his wife (played by Helena Bonham-Carter) and his language therapist (played by Geoffrey Rush), who has quite unconventional methods.

This movie is really a deeply moving story, about courage and loyalty, and friendship, and the two hours of film doesn't seem long at all. The actors are brilliant and the movie is also quite funny!
