So tonight I went to see the Kings Speech. Many of you have heard about it because of recent awards it has won or been nominated for. It of course is the story of King George VI and the man who helped him over come his speech impediment. King George the VI (known as Bertie) is the Current Queen Elizabeth's father.
I have to say, the awards are well deserved. It was an Amazing movie. I really enjoy historical movies anyways because I find it all very fascinating, especially WW2 era things. Bertie was the King during WW2. Bertie is played by Colin Firth, who did a spectacular job as Bertie. I can't imagine doing an entire movie with a debilitation Speech impediment, but he did. I could feel the stress and social anxiety coming from Bertie throughout the movie. Bertie's older brother David was of course in the film and it didn't bother me at all that they didn't stress the fact that David was a Nazi sympathizer.
In short, you must see this movie it had a fantastic cast. Also fun fact, both Actress/actors that played Bertie's wife Elizabeth and the man who played Winston Churchhill and King George V all acted in Harry Potter movies. Ok might only be a fun fact for me.
