Disappointment for a huge fan!

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This week I watched The King's Speech (2010). The logline reads "The story of King George VI of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, his impromptu ascension to the throne and the speech therapist who helped the unsure monarch become worthy of it." The film was a great look into fear and how crippling it can be. As a last resort to speech therapy, King George VI visits with Lionel Logue. Logue's unusual methods lead to an unlikely bond between the two and helps King George VI to better understand himself and attempt to overcome the things that cripple him. A great cast is only the beginning of the film's great qualities. The story is wonderful and both the shot composition and the editing techniques work to support the story. The film was director by Tom Hooper who is known for pieces that address the human condition. This film was no different. The costuming, sets, and props all transported the audience back in time to live a little in the 1930s. The camera work was fantastic and really helped to bring the audience into the film. I am glad I watched this and I would highly recommend it.

Everyone who is not perfect will relate to this movie. Colin Firth gets the cadence of King George VI's pre-war speech down pat. The movie features the strong relationship between King George VI and his speech therapist. The king meeting a commoner in his home as an equal is priceless. The journey along the way is full of personal challenges. The lesson here is overcoming an individual's greatest weakness. Having the courage and perseverance to come through at the most important time.While there are no action scenes the wide range of emotional drama is the action and keeps the viewer invested in the outcome. A rare masterpiece in film. All the more so because it is based on a true story with the backdrop of the start of WWII.

Great "story", incredible acting and delivery, the serious tone of the movie is peppered with an underlying sense of humor, the mise-en-scene is awesome, a definite must-watch! Its one of those movies that lets a viewer really connect with the characters, one is convinced they are playing themselves, not roles. My only regret is that having seen it, I'll never be able to experience the first-viewing again. More than recommended!

One of the most beautiful films ever .. in terms of photography, montage, lighting, music and of course directing and do not forget the idea that made me to be more persistent with the things in my life and of course will ask my children to see it when they grow because it contains the meaning and the idea of determination and determination in the world
