The King's Speech [Blu-ray] [2010]

Based upon the true story of a royal leader and his incredible battle to overcome anxiety and speak peace and assurance to his nation!

The acting was excellent. The plot was engrossing.

The movie had both good drama and lighthearted laughs. What makes the movie is the friendship between Prince Albert (played by Colin Firth) and his Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue (played by Geoffrey Rush). Throughout the movie, Logue helps Prince Albert overcome his speech impediment to lead his nation through the Second World War. The entire movie is the struggle for a king who has a stutter that prevents him from being a public speaker like his father and brother. But when his father dies and his brother recants the throne, the right to Kingship is given to Prince Albert which forces him to take the responsibilities of Kingship which includes public speaking. I think the movie deserved the Oscar for Best Picture when it was in the running. Overall the movie was great and I know that as soon as I finish writing this review, I plan on watching it once more.
