The King's Speech



Having heard a lot of good things about this movie, and seeing Colin Firth win a Golden Globe for his performance, I came into The King's Speech with high expectations - and the movie didn't disappoint. The film has a lot of charm about it, and Firth's performance as Prince Albert/King George VI was great in terms of showcasing the personal struggle of a man struck so incredibly vulnerable by his speech impedement.

It might seem like a benign unimportant issue having a stammer, but I doubt anyone who has ever had such an impedement would agree, and you really do feel the King's struggle in this movie. A very good film, definitely worth checking out.
