The King’s Speech Movie Trailer

by The Critic on January 30, 2011

Nominated for like 12 Oscar’s,The Kings Speech was one of the best movies for 2010.

How would you like to be king of a country, and have a stutter when you speak?

This was the case with George VI, who became king of England in 1936 when his brother Edward abdicated. King George VI, who is also known as Bertie was known to stutter ever since he was an adolescent. The problem now though was that with the invention of radio, he would have to give a speech to thousands of people throughout England. Everyone would know that he has a stutter, and with royal blood running through his veins, it wouldn’t look so great.

King George VI try going to many different speech therapists until he found one that was a guy who tried some radical approaches to speech therapy.

Colin Firth was excellent as King George VI, and Geoffrey Rush was also top-notch in his role as Lionel Logue, the speech therapist.

Other actors in the movie include Helena Bonham Carter, Guy Pearce, and Timothy Spall.

Here’s the movie trailer for The King’s Speech (2010).
