The King’s Speech is a 2010 British film directed by Tom Hooper. The film stars Colin Firth as King George VI, Geoffrey Rush as Lionel Logue and Helena Bonham Carter as Queen Elizabeth. At the 83rd Academy Awards (the Oscars), the film won Best Picture and Colin Firth won Best Actor in a Leading Role.
Read the film review of The King’s Speech and try to understand its structure.
Based on a true story, the film is set in London in the 1930s. Prince Albert, second son of King George V, suffers from a terrible speech problem. The Prince has given up hope of a cure but his wife, Elizabeth, takes him to see Lionel Logue, an Australian speech doctor living in London. Although the two men have very different backgrounds and do not get along at first, they eventually become friends. After the Prince’s elder brother gives up being King, Prince Albert becomes King George VI.
The film looks like a fairly typical historical film without fancy special effects, and it is made enjoyable by the performances of the main actors. Firth is successful in showing us the King’s struggles as well as his courage. He has great chemistry with Rush and Bonham Carter, whose characters are both very believable. In the meantime, Hooper skillfully creates uncertainty and tension with narrow indoor sets and dark lighting.
