My Review- The Kings Speech
I really loved this film. It was very inspiring and moving and also had a great message. The message is to never give up and work hard for what you want to accomplish even though it may take time and struggling. The acting was also awesome in the film. Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter are all amazing actors that really know how to bring their characters to life. The story of king George's life was a very interesting one as well. He was brought up in a very difficult life with his parents being the king and queen of England. They did not display much affection and created a very difficult life for their son which explains why he has a speech impediment. It was great to see though that queen Elizabeth was very supportive of her husband and never gave up on him especially when England was about to go into war with Germany. I also loved the relationship between Lionel and King George. The king is a very uptight character and Lionel is very laid back and helps the king open up and become more confident in himself.
