'The King's Speech' will leave you speechless!

Do you still recall the feeling you get after listening to a beautiful and inspiring speech? It's a warm feeling that makes you smile everytime you get reminded of it. And most especially it changes the way how you see things, gives you hope and makes you believe in something, even if it's almost impossible to happen.

That's the kind of feeling that the film 'The King's Speech' gives you. It will leave you speechless as it ends and before you knew it you find yourself applauding along with the crowd. Such a wonderful movie. If there would one movie that deserves the Oscar Best Film besides 'Inception' and 'The Social Network' it would be this film. And maybe a month from now, the more members of Academy would have the chance to watch it, the closer it gets to grabbing the Oscar statuette.

The King's Speech is based from a true story of King George VI (starred by Colin Firth) and his stammering problem. Pressured from the sudden ascension to the throne and to give a speech to the people of Britain, his wife Queen Elizabeth (starred by Helena Bonham Carter) looked for a speech therapist to help him out with his speech problem. Queen Elizabeth disguised as a regular citizen and hired Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). Lionel is known for his conventional way of teaching where trust and equality are important. No special treatment even for royalties. Their differences somehow clashed, especially when the two just started out but friendship bloomed eventually between the two and remained friends for the rest of their lives.

This is just the second movie of the British Director Tom Hooper. His first film is 'The Damned United' last year (which is also a good movie and one of my all time favorites by the way). From directing TV shows and series, his works are now being recognized internationally which he really deserves. 'The King's Speech' is one of the strongest front-runners for this year's Oscar Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor for Colin Firth and if I am to decide, it has already won.
