The Kings Speech (A spiel)

I saw "The Kings Speech" with my mother on Monday. I don't usually end up seeing many Oscar hyped (wins, nominees...etc), but I went because I heard it was good. Still I went sceptical. I left awed. This move was amazing. Simply one of the best films I've ever seen. (My mother said it was the best she's ever seen).

I started out watching the movie and laughing slightly. Not that it was funny, cause it really wasn't, but  because I really felt for the character. Being shy myself, having to talk in front of people bothers me. I should also say I had an idea about the movie but it was wrong. I thought it was about the guy who wrote the kings speech's! I know, I know. I also didn't really get the title until too far later. :P

Colin Firth was amazing (word of the day much, kids?). Seriously, I loved his energy, his stammer (or stutter, I still believe they used the wrong word but maybe its a British thing.) It made me like the Royal family as well. I want to believe they were like that. I WANT to like them. A part of me does wonder if that's movie magic making them likeable.

Helena Bonham Carter is a good actress. I liked her before, but I have a respect for her acting now. I loved her as Queen Elizabeth (and I had no idea who she was playing until I heard her say 'I hope you don't call me Lizzie' (or whatever the exact quote was). I liked that she had normal hair, something I've never seen her with. And I also thought her and Collin Firth had amazing chemistry.

My sister told me it was like a Harry Potter reunion and its so true. There are so many people in it who are also in Harry Potter. Michael Gammon, Timothy Spall (Who I wasn't sure was actually in it until my sister said it was), and of course Helena Bonham Carter.

Okay, I'm going to wrap this up. Good movie. Go see it.
