Geoffrey Rush, on the right, is wearing a suit and facing out the window, his back to the reader. The picture is overlaid with names and critical praise for the film.

This time I will discuss about English Oscar-winning movie. Like another Oscar winner, the film is the adaptation of the true story

Synopsis:
After the death of his father, King George V, and the controversy of the leadership by his brother, Edward VIII (Guy Pierce), Prince Albert Frederick Arthur George (Colin Firth), must take over the leadership of the United Kingdom. He changed his name to George VI. However, he has lack in public speaking, which is stuttering. He can’t speech properly in public. Assisted by his wife Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter) and her therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), George VI trying to recover from stuttering

This film really deserved to win an Oscar. Usually, the Oscar-winning movie is biography or event based on true story. We will be captivated by the story of this film. We can feel the struggle of George VI in training his speaking ability and conflict that happened in the kingdom. The film also tells the other side of royal life like how the members of the royal attitude and everything must be done perfectly. From this film, we can also learn a piece of British history and the tension in the British government with the presence of Hitler and the beginning of World War II

Colin Firth’s acting as George VI is extraordinary. He was able to portray people with stuttering well and the character of George VI that seeks to honor from the royal family and other people. Colin Firth is assisted by Helena Bonham Carter who is able to remove Belatrix characters in Harry Potter and the odd characters in her other films. Helena played well as Elizabeth who always supports her husband. Behind every success man, there is an extraordinary woman.

Tom Hooper has brought this film to win an Oscar. This movie completes with a nice cinematography and supported by the perfect music.
