The King's Speech is a film that will touch your heart and warm your smile. This is a true story that most people know vaguely about but this movie takes it to a whole new level. This is a charming movie that has something for everyone. I really loved this film and I feel like I could watch this movie over and over again. This is an underdog film that really shows that if you never give up and you work hard at something you can do whatever you set your mind to.
The King's Speech is about the struggle that King Edward VIII went through to get over his speech impediment and lead England in their time of need. This powerful story made me cry at least once during the movie and I know I'm not the only one in the theater that shed a tear. I give this movie two thumbs up and I believe that this story has something for everyone.
Helena Bonham Carter deserves accolades as well for her portrayal of Bertie's wife, the eventual Queen Elizabeth. Though stately and regal, she is not without a grounded humanity, and that secret touch of unmistakable strangeness that is so inherent in Carter's work. In this film, however, she embodies it in the tilt of her head, or the widening of her eyes, which works impeccably well for a woman who married a prince, but never wanted a royal life.
The cinematography, by Danny Cohen, in this film is also as strange as it is compelling, and lends itself perfectly to the themes and narrative of the film. Characterized by impossible wide and high angle shots of Bertie's world, one feels the impossible task of one person being able to adequately inhabit the tremendous spaces he finds himself in. Likewise, the deadly straight-on medium shots lend a comic severity almost as ludicrous as a public figure that cannot speak. Lastly, the near eight inches of headroom given to each character in their medium shots, even when they are alone, reminds the viewer that we all have heights we feel we cannot achieve. In this way, Bertie's impediment is a reflection of everyone's self-imposed insecurities. But the space is there, right above our heads. All we need to do is step up and fill it.
The one weakening element in The King's Speech was Guy Pearce's depiction of Edward VIII, who abdicates the thrown in order to marry a woman that the Royal Family and Prime Minister object to. While the notion appears romantic and even a bit heroic, Pearce performance comes off as annoying and insincere. While the heightened language falls eloquently and believably off of the tongues of his fellow actors, it is forced and grating from the mouth of Pearce.
