The symbol of an empire
García Martínez
British director Tom Hooper told in King's speech (11) history King George VI of England, how it comes to the throne after his older brother is under pressure to resign, but especially how to control his stuttering.
Bertie (Colin Firth, as always in great plan) is an insecure man who can not bear to speak in public, to the extent that his wife, Princess Elizabeth and the current queen's mother (Helena Bonham Carter) looks strongly a remedy to the problem of language, and a pilgrim among doctors to giver chipping therapist Lionel Logue's office (a great Geoffrey Rush) and the hard work begins to make his speech fairly fluid.
is the interesting story of an unexpected friendship, of a historical period of England in the first half of the twentieth century, great and terrible challenges of a nation and its representative, the king, who has to stand up but he is not exactly who takes the big decisions, who is the head of a monarchy, but whose role is more modest representative.
The fight actually takes place Bertie is against himself, against his traumas and frustrations fed from childhood, against their insecurity heightened by her own family. Lionel aid offers is to show how to be spontaneous, loose a bit of that rigidity that keeps him from being himself. Lionel is a separate character: he is a lover Shakespeare, half psychologist and therapist at once, whose unorthodox methods cause itching in some people close to the then Prince and imminent king.
is a beautifully made period film, fun, with lavish sets (in contrast with the office of Lionel), great performances, good pace and emphasizes two things: the extraordinary value of the image of the English king and the tangible value of a beautiful friendship.
