This was a very good movie. it was very moving, well acted, educational and i enjoyed it a lot.
Plot: This was very interesting with how the king begins to overcome his stuttering with his therapist. and it was educational as far goes as the particular story of what was happening in Britain at the time.
Acting:
Colin Firth/King George VI: the most i remember of this guy is his performance in The Importance of being Earnest. and with this character, it's clear that he worked very hard to create this character and it's just hard to imagine. He did a very great job and i think getting an oscar for his performance this year is imminent.
Helena Bonham Carter/Queen Elizabeth: i liked her being in something different. cause really, the best i know her is mostly some crazy lady in either Harry Potter or pretty much every single Tim Burton movie she's done in the last decade that's not Corpse Bride and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. and the only thing i've seen outside of either cases up till know is her brief performance as Dr. Kogan/ Skynet (sort of) in Terminator Salvation. So i'm saying a lot in my mind's eye when i say, she played a fairly different character in this film then what i usually see in her, and i think she won't win, but she does deserve the nomination for Best supporting actress.
Gregory Rush/ Lionel Logue: my primary regret in seeing this movie is that i didn't realize it until the end of the credits that Lionel Logue was played by Gregory Rush. but i guess in my defense, i don't usually see in anything without him having a beard of sorts. Rush did a great job in making his character focused on the goal that both he and the king had to reach in the film. It was very good and very creative. for about a month now, i've been pretty sure that Best supporting actor will go to Christian Bale. But after seeing what Rush did...there's a little cause for concern.
everyone else did a good job. i did like the unexpected appearance of some actors such as Michael Gambon and Timothy Spall.
Editing: as someone who wants to become a professional Film Editor, there are times where i quiver with fear of the work of other editors. and i think Tariq Anwar's work with this film is one of them. they used a lot of different kinds of camera shots with almost every single scene in the film. and i know that a lot of work was done with all of it. especially the king and Logue's first meeting. so he did a very good job and...i still have much to learn...ah well. i'm in no hurry.
Music: it was nice. i do get the feeling that it might win this year.
so that is basically my review for the King's Speech. when it comes to the best picture nominations, i personally prefer either Toy Story 3 or Black Swan to win because they were the most moving to me. but after seeing this film, i think they are not match for this film.
