The King's Speech

What a FANTASTIC and up lifting story.  I can totally understand why this film is up for so many Academy Awards.   The movie itself is well written and enjoyable, eliciting empathy and compassion for the King George.  Colin Firth is phenomenal playing the title role...  and you can actually feel the PAIN (emotional) of a person trying to speak and not being able to.   Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter both play well as supporting actors.  Helena especially playing the Queen...  I almost didn't recognize her until later in the film.  "The King's Speech is tremendously likeable and well worth seeing in the theaters.   I truly hope it is able to take home more than a few of the Oscar's it's up for.  (6.0/6.0)
