Cast overview: Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, Geoffrey Rush and some others I pressume
Stars: **** this means 4 out of 5
Last weekend I went with a friend to the movies to watch my darling Colin Firth Anastasia Firth does sound pretty nice if you repeat it 5 times in his latest roll as the King George VI- the king with the stammer and a dirty mouth where is Orbit when you need it?
This film tells the story about George ('Bertie') as he reluctantly assumes the thrown after his brother abdicates well actually he falls in love with a not yet divorced woman who learned some interesting skills while in Shanghai. Bertie is plagued by a dreaded stammer which makes people question if he is suited to be king. Bertie's wife a too talented Helena B Carter who does not have time to look at what she is wearing..ever finds an unorthodox speech therapist by the name of Lionel Logue who through a set of unexpected techniques, and as a result of an unlikely friendship, helps Bertie find his voice and boldly lead the country through war.
This movie was really something. A great performance from all of the main characters.
It was funny, sweet, charming and being a history nerd an absolute delight to watch. I strongly recommend this film if you just want to feel pure joy when leaving the cinema.
