Movie: The King's Speech
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 Hour 58 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Yes, I went to the movie again today with my friend Laura. We had heard that The King's Speech was excellent so decided to go see it. It really was very good, especially the acting by Colin Firth. When King George died, his oldest son took over the throne, but then he wanted to marry a woman who had been twice divorced and of course that wouldn't do in proper England. So, his younger brother then took over the throne, another King George. Unfortunately, he had a very bad stammer in his speech so most of the movie was about his learning to speak without stuttering with the help of an offbeat speech therapist played by Geoffrey Rush, who had a dry but witty sense of humor in his role. Although I don't normally like period pieces, I did enjoy this movie.
