The first scene of The King's Speech depicts Albert George (Colin Firth), soon to be King George VI, as he makes a speech at Wembley. The direction and cinematography of this shows the story the film will tell. Trembling hands holding the speech papers, out of focus shots of the speech's words, and stepping up to the podium seeing the crowd through the microphone, this film is about King George's struggle to overcome his fear of public speaking.
This is a fear that many people can identify with and the film does an excellent job of bringing that fear to the screen in many different ways. The editing, sound, and cinematography combine to give the film a depth that should be studied and appreciated.
The acting is another attribute to the film that give it Best Picture quality. Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, and Geoffrey Rush give arguably the best performance of their respective careers. The screenplay and dialogue gives these actors the resources to bring the story to life and keep the audience invested and entertained.
The King's Speech won Best Picture in 2011 and deserved it. It showed quality in all aspects of the medium of film. It seemed like everyone came together and gave their best to make this film special. This is a Best Picture that won't be overlooked. Some of the award winning films are lost in the past but this one will remain in the minds of those who've seen it.
