Movie Summary:

George VI, also known as Bertie, has suffered from a speech impediment ever since he was a child.  His wife, Elizabeth, wants to help him, so she hires Lionel Logue, a speech therapist, to help Bertie.  Over the course of time, Lionel begins to change Bertie’s life, as well as helping him overcome his impediment.  They soon become friends.  Bertie’s father suddenly dies.  And to make matters worse, Bertie’s brother, Edward, next in line, decides to abdicate the thrown, therefore Bertie is made King.  When World War II begins, Bertie, with the help of Lionel, must make a radio broadcast speech to rally the forces of England against Hitler. 

“The King’s Speech” is an inspiring movie that teaches everyone to always believe in yourself and remain firm, even in the darkest of times.  Headed by a great cast, led by Colin Firth, who shows excellence in portraying King George VI, and Geoffrey Rush, who does an incredible job in playing Lionel Logue.  “The King’s Speech” won 4 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Colin Firth), and Best Director (Tom Hooper).  “The King’s Speech” contains some language, but otherwise, it is a great movie that I would highly recommend!  

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I ask that you watch this incredible movie!”
