“I have a right to be heard…I have a voice!”- King George VI (Colin Firth).

Just saw "The King's Speech" truly great movie. Its treat to watch such movie. It is the story of King George VI of Britain, his impromptu ascension to the throne and the speech therapist who helped the unsure monarch become worthy of it.

It is said that actors love playing those afflicted with disabilities or debilitating ailments. After watching “The King’s Speech”, I cannot imagine that Colin Firth had a wonderful time with the challenges King George VI faced. Colin Firth, a long time favorite of mine who gave an Oscar worthy performance in 2009′s “A Single Man”, is incredible in what he chooses not to do here. Colin Firth rules as the monarch, and what to tell about the therapist Lionel Logue played by Geoffrey Rush. Geoffrey Rush is perhaps the secret weapon that makes “The King’s Speech” truly achieve its majesty. Rush is so dialed in to Lionel Logue that he disappears into the role and transforms himself into the nurturing, dedicated, and determined champion of the King.

"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. "

“The King’s Speech” stands as a resonating, thoughtful, and inspiring testament to the human spirit; a film not at all to be missed.
