The King's Speech (2010)

The King's Speech is an inspirational drama about a king who has speaking disabilities, and needs to find his voice. I thought this was an amazing movie, and would probably see it a second time.

The movie's main character, King George VI, also called Bertie (Colin Firth), has a stammer which is a big problem when you are the voice of a people. Bertie seeks help from an nontraditional speech therapist named Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). Despite Bertie's stubbornness, Logue kept pushing him because he knew he had potential. Logue never gave up on Bertie.

They often say a woman is behind every successful man, and that was exactly how Bertie's wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter) was. She always encouraged Bertie, and never left his side.

The King's Speech was very inspiring to me because it sends the audience a message that no matter the circumstance, perseverance and determination can accomplish any goal. I liked this movie because the message was so hopeful and touching to me.

This film is for anyone who likes history, happy endings, and inspirational stories.

This drama shows you some of the difficulties of people with speech problems, and how to find your voice because you deserve to be heard.
