The King's Speech

Greetings, the King’s speech is based on the story of how King George the sixth tries to overcome his lifelong difficulty with speaking. Colin Firth plays King George, who covers the role brilliantly, giving an outstanding performance. Many therapists had tried to help George with his speech impediment but ultimately could not, leading to Elizabeth, his wife seeking out an Australian therapist with rather odd techniques. 

Geoffrey Rush plays Lionel Logue, who over time despite George’s disbelief at the beginning, lessens his patient’s stammer. Unfortunately, King George the Fifth dies of old age leading his oldest son, Edward to succeed him. After a while it becomes apparent, Edward is not capable of being Monarch and abdicates the throne to be with Wallis Simpson. The distraught George, who is doubting himself, accepts the position of King. With the verge of war coming, King George the sixth needs Lionel Logue by his side to help him carry out his speech to Great Britain. I believe this movie is one of the best films I have ever seen and as a result I award it with the title Super Duper fantastic 100% the best, the second movie to have been award this on my blog, the original being Avatar. The thirteenth chapter of the Invisible Agents is up in Warehouse 17.
