The King's Speech was a wonderful movie about a stammering Duke who becomes a great King with the help of a brilliant speech therapist. Colin Firth who portrayed King George VI was wonderful. He took a very difficult and embarrassing problem like stammering and showed how love and support from family and friends and sheer determination of a person can overcome anything. Mr. Firth was so convincing with the stammering that I believed he really had a problem. It was also nice to see Geoffrey Rush (Pirates of the Caribbean-the curse of the black pearl fame) as the great Lionel who helped bring levity and seriousness to this character. Helena Bonham Carter showed how talented she is in the role of Elizabeth as the supportive, loving and lighthearted wife of "Bertie", King George VI. The King's Speech was a historical and powerful movie depicting a scary and difficult time for England and its people. This is a movie that I highly recommend seeing.
colin firth deserved the award for this movie. Helena bonham carter performance is always good as queen mother and her love for her husband
