Replaced the body with the hands, the Duke of York must re-educate the stuttering, throw out the words and find a voice. Help him the devotion of Lady Lyon, his loving wife, and unconventional techniques of Lionel Logue, an Australian speech therapist. Between spasms, muscle relaxation, time of release and joints more or less perfect, his brother Bertie scalzerà "regneggiante" ascend the throne under the name of George VI and will find correct speech in his speech more beautiful.

Opera incredibly intelligent and moving, The King's speech, laugh, moves and engages the viewer with amazing skill. Based on a true story and it shows, never a false note or mannered, but it is always concrete, direct, sincere. The credit is certainly incredible ensemble of actors and perfect director Tom Hooper excellent. Colin Firth remains one of the best actors on the market (after the poignant interpretation of George Falconer in 'A Single Man' by Tom Ford), lowering himself with meticulous perfection in the character of tormented and stammering George VI, King reluctantly, accompanies him with Geoffrey Rush one of his best performances and together they create a perfect couple, close-knit, lively and sincere, with a chemical and a harmony that it can leave impressed. acting in this film is undeniably first-rate cast in a state of grace: in addition to the two protagonists, who can seriously say the peak of their acting career, to be counted Helena Bonham Carter, who in the role of wife Elizabeth George, shines determination, pride and love for her husband, Michael Gambon, nell'intimadatorio and solemn role of George V, Guy Pearce, the elder brother of George who abdicated the throne for the love of a working-class Baltimore pluridivorziata, Timothy Spall, Winston Churchill perfect, the rough, and decided never separated from his loyal cigar and a number of other actors as Derek Jacobi and Jennifer Ehele that, even if in minor roles, do not disfigure this cast qualita'artistica indisputable. Tom Hooper in turn directs the company of actors with admirable skill, capturing every detail and emotion building up characters and relationships to 360 degrees, human, strong, multifaceted reality. The director also has the ability to use the perfect setting to recreate a realistic environment, natural, perfectly suitable and credible, and at the same time, almost expressionist, deformed, claustrophobic, to emphasize the pressure on the poor incumbent ruler. We can indeed say that the seas of your crowd and microphones, especially the microphones are the real antagonists, gray, timid and ubiquitous, George VI and torment of the enemy it faces and eventually win.
A film of rare beauty and feeling, which goes from drama to comedy with skill and never forget to keep bringing the real facts, a historical film without the heaviness of the rhetorical and mannered kind of epic, a pearl of lightness and humanity that engages the viewer and exit the room with the pleasant feeling of having spent two very pleasant hours listening to an interesting story (history) told by a friend.
