#1 - The King's Speech

Viewed 1/8/2011 at the Ritz 5 - The King's Speech


What I learned from this movie:

If you're a reluctant monarch with a severe speech impediment (delivered quite well, might I add), you're fucked. Unless your speech therapist is there to guide you through every word of every public speech you have to deliver. Then you're cool. UNLESS HE DIES...

He doesn't die. Geoffry Rush never dies.

Consensus: I actually really liked this movie. It's nice to see Helena Bonham Carter NOT in a Tim Burton movie. Geoffry Rush is amazing as the quirky Australian speech therapist. But most importantly, Colin Firth is a bitter smart-ass in this movie and I love him for it. 5 out of 5.
