This background story film about the British royal family, presented with a good artistic very careful and very charming, good photo is so beautiful, good costumes are no less interesting, good music that fills the soul in every scene and, Of course, an array of actors and actress who could turn all the characters. Flawless. However, the line was able to achieve the success of many previous films. What makes the King's speech so special? No. Not because the film is to enter the United Kingdom at the time, near the time of the Second World War or because the film tells the story of how King George VI, facing the challenge talking. Part is indeed very interesting, but no factors that make the king's speech made a fascinating history of the friendship that forms between the King George VI and his therapist Lionel Logue, who will be able to touch all those who witnessed it.
The key to success is the relationship of these two characters are in the hands of two players whom he acts, Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush. Besides the two, the King's speech has also been strengthened with the appearance of actress Helena Bonham Carter, who acted as Queen Elizabeth. All three looked so beautiful to fill any role they played. At no single moment in the acting department The King's Speech which seems disappointing. It then also give a strong impetus chemistry between all levels of the distribution of this film and managed to make the field the king's word was so real and compelling.
Based on a true story, of course, the king's speech begins in 1925 and introduced the audience to the man who will be known as King George VI (Colin Firth). At that time, he was known as Albert Frederick Arthur George or Prince Albert or Bertie or duke of York and will deliver his first speech in public. Looks are not convinced, stutters in speech and then make the delivery of the speech turned into an embarrassing thing for him. Aware that it will not last for Albert to make a speech in front of crowds, his wife, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (Helena Bonham Carter), then went to Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), a speech of Australia has a unique technique or was not uncommon to see a therapist.
With the techniques that are sometimes very strange thing to do, and Lionel Albert relations are not smooth at first. However, when his father, King George V (Michael Gambon), died, and his brother, Prince Edward VII (Guy Pearce), who should succeed his father ran into a controversy, Albert should be ready to mount on throne. Albert eventually run all the techniques needed to Lionel at the same time, slowly, to establish friendly relations with him. After formally ascended the throne and become King George VI, his first big test by giving a speech in front of crowds that come in the shape of British society in history as a discourse that could unify the country by declaring war on Germany.
Colin Firth proves its status as one of the best British actor who is winning the Best Actor Oscar at 83. See how that can eliminate the feeling of frustration and a desire to get rid of stutters through eyes that are often displayed Firth director Tom Hooper through the pieces of scenes close-ups throughout the film Firth. So striking and so is able to display all the emotion you want to remove Firth as a King George VI, who was depressed. Not only play in the drama, Firth is also able to remove the side of the comedy in the King George VI show, which was in a state of emotional explosion. Although perhaps not at all intend to be funny, but these moments are able to provide their own entertainment for the way the story of this film.
Appearance no less terrible is also able to demonstrate Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter. Rush able to compete with the acting skills Firth is very good, and even able to blend perfectly with it. Once berpadunya chemistry these two actors, the King's speech almost feels soft when a character was not in addition to other characters. Same with Bonham Carter is able to display the acting is very refreshing after covering himself with quirky roles in every Tim Burton movie or Harry Potter franchise. Bonham Carter is able to show Elizabeth as a character rather than a flat and rigid, as a representation of the queen in the many films on the theme to another. Instead, he fills the character as a character is warm, lightweight and seems approachable.
Supporting role in this film is filled with many actors and actresses behalf of the United Kingdom (and Australia) with a total capacity of acting can not be underestimated. Most important, of course, the presence of the actor Timothy Spall and Guy Pearce who plays Winston Churchill and Prince Edward. able to make a presence Spall as the story becomes much less pronounced, while Pearce, but part of a less profound role for now, remains capable of displaying a game that is quite satisfactory.
Not only able to package the film with the department in perfect quality, the director, Tom Hooper (The Damned United, 2009), also join the film with varying success technical processes that will be able to refresh the eyes and ears all audiences. Photography, Danny Cohen, has managed to produce a variety of images that are beautiful in the film, especially when the road was to take a background story in the morning. Cohen is able to capture the energy of the morning is good in every picture. The same quality of work performed composer Alexandre Desplat, who, although does not seem so extraordinary, but still managed to bring additional resources emotional flux that is perfect for every scene of this film.
In the middle of the film competition that offers something new in history, the king's word comes with a script that feels a bit conventional and predictable. However, under the outstanding leadership of Tom Hooper and the script is so clever story of David Seidler, who feels the classic script is fully assembled in a scenario that seems very attractive. Strengthening the story with the quality department is so alive and present grammar impeccable technique, the King's speech is a film that will be widely discussed because of its simplicity is so inspiring and very emotional
