Film 352/365, Day 361/365 – The King’s Speech

Anyone that knows me probably wouldn’t describe me as a monarchist, that said however this is actually a very good film with an interesting story and some good characters.  For me Geoffrey Rush stole the show as the speech therapist.  There are some very funny moments most notably the swearing!

Synopsis:  This tells the story of the King George VI who suffered from a stammer which made addressing the public very difficult.  He had never intended to become king but when his brother abdicated the throne so that he could marry a twice divorced American he was the next in line.  To overcome his problem he seeks the help of an unorthodox therapist.
