The King's Speech

The Story
It was in period of 1930's, Bertie or Albert Arthur Ferederick George. He is a stammer, unfortunately his job is giving speech in front of people. Bertie was not supposedly to became a King, but fate talk in different way. His older brother, King Edward VII, choosed to abdicate than gave up Wallis Simpson (widow with two divorced husband).

Since Bertie became a King, he must be able to speech in front of the people. He meet Lionel Logue, an Australian speech Therapist. For the first time, Bertie was not comfort to be handled by Lionel. Lionel set up few rule for the medication. One of them, there are no social level differences between Lionel and Bertie, they must call each other their name.
What happen next was world war II erupted. King George VI had to deliver his speech for encouraged his people. It was the biggest test for Bertie to prove he is the real king. Finally he was succeed in delivering his speech and touch the heart of his people.

The Cast
Colin Firth play as Bertie and Geoffrey Rush as Lionel Logue. Biggest credit for Colin because he can deliver speech as an ex-stammer without losing the characteristic of a stammer. Helena Bonham Carter not maximize showing her noble character as Real Queen not as Red Queen (Alice in Wonderland) or Bellatrix Lestrange (Harry Potter). Guy Pearce plays well as Kind Edward VII, he can build an egoistic and arrogant King.

Bertie and "Bertie"

Conclusion
The movie only focus on personal life of King George VI. It was not told about the political view differences about King Edward VII and King George VI. The only political thing was the statement from Prime Minister Baldwin that the government would gave up if the King Edward VII married Wallis Simpson.
In conclusion, I think you should watch this movie. This movie gave us motivation about you can be anything you want. Even a stammer could deliver his speech well. In technical area, this movie also very great, that is why this movie grab many movie nomination award.
