Absolutely brilliant

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The King's Speech is well made and is full of solid performances. The timing of the King's ascension to the thrown coinciding with the war does add interest to the story. The two males leads play well off of one another, which is the glue that makes this film work. It held my interest but otherwise not what I felt compelling.

I started watching it because of its reputation and its cast. I switched it off after half an hour and watched a John Wayne war movie instead because very little happened in "The King's Speech". The dialog, at best, was tepid and the background music was awful.Like other reviewers have noticed, there's a lack of colour. It's as if the budget allowed the set and costume designers to use only blue, black, and brown with a sprinkling of white.And, like other reviewers have commented, the performances were disappointing.I got the impression that whoever approved the production of this film thought that because "Downton Abbey" was a hit, anything that is about the British aristocracy or monarchy would be one as well. It didn't work with me, though. I got bored with DA and stopped watching during its third season. Similarly, I stopped watching "The King's Speech" for the same reason.How this movie managed to win the Best Picture Oscar is a mystery to me.

David Seidler, who wrote the screenplay, clearly did his homework, and the script is rich with dialogue uttered by the royal prototypes. Though he takes artistic license with certain facts, most such liberties are acceptable. A brilliant Colin Firth leading a sensational cast with Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter.Watching Firth agonisingly stammer his way through the closing speech at the Empire Exhibition at Wembley Stadium in 1925 is a masterclass in acting.

One of the most beautiful films ever .. in terms of photography, montage, lighting, music and of course directing and do not forget the idea that made me to be more persistent with the things in my life and of course will ask my children to see it when they grow because it contains the meaning and the idea of determination and determination in the world
