The King's Speech

I saw The King's Speech tonight. A beautiful film about George VI. Queen Elizabeth's father. It's a wonderful example of Speaking Truth to Power and Power Listening. Albeit on a personal level. Colin Firth won the Golden Globe for best actor for his portrayal of George VI. Geofrey Rush and Helena Bodham Carter turned in solid performances, and were the foundation that enabled Colin Firth to soar.

The art direction was nice. The directing outstanding. The film is touching, uplifting and tearful. They still can make them the way they used to.
