SurvivorAlways 7 @MyLife4Me79 Jul 29 The King’s Speech is one of those movies that is both a reminder of history but also a look into the work that goes into fighting our history, our perceived limitations and our own fears of what is expected, to triumph and succeed. It’s a love letter to friendship and learning how to lean on someone. What an amazing ode to one man’s meeting of the moment and rising to the occasion when he was needed most. Amazing acting from all involved, together with a great script and masterful directing has made for a great movie that still holds up, 16 years later.

It is rare that we see an understated film about true love and friendship that develops between two men. This film is just sublime.

Tom Hooper's historical drama The King's Speech (2010) is a fantastic perspective on the real life verbal melees that King George VI suffered with his whole life as he attempts to overcome his speech impediment stammer. Hooper's direction is a gorgeous recreation of wartime Britain from the death of King George V to King George VI. Hooper's style is sleek and fluid, quickly moving from scene to scene to keep you on edge to feel the pressure that the royals were in during the changeover of kings. Colin Firth is marvelous as the frustrated and distressed monarch King George VI. Firth lends the king a sympathetic persona as you care if this man will rise to the challenge of leading his country into war with Adolf Hitler and Germany through his war speech announcement. In conclusion, The King's Speech is a gripping drama recreating the painful discomfort of King George VI engages you through all the scandal and intrigue.
