Throw together Colin Firth, Helen Bonham Carter in pearl dangle earrings and a plot-line based on the English monarchy and you may find yourself with this delightful British gem of a film.
In The King's Speech we follow King George VI and his speech impediment struggle in times when radio was so crucial for reassurance during the Second World War. However, what drives this film is not just the emotional and physical battle, but also the rollercoaster relationship between the King and his audacious speech therapist, Lionel Logue. From a begrudging associate, Lionel soon becomes a pillar in the career and life of King George VI (affectionately nicknamed Bertie).
King George VI (Colin Furth) and Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) in one of the funniest and loveliest montage scenes ever.
With beautiful cinematography and whimsical milky colourisation, this film is also a delight to watch. This star studded, heart warming story is a must see.
