We went to see The King's Speech yesterday and came out knowing we had seen an excellent film. The standard of acting from all three main characters was brilliant and Timothy Spall made an excellent Churchill! The film is a long one, some two hours but I could easily have taken a toilet break then sat down and watched it again!
The fact that is's based on a true story adds to it as you learn things about life behind the scenes that surprises you.
To portray the acute difficulties and extreme frustrations of a man with a stutter so well was shere brilliance on the part of Colin Firth and will surely lead to a reputation which far outreaches that of the "rom. com.pretty boy"! This man is a very talented actor and will well deserve all the awards he is sure to get!
Have heard it is very good....will look out for it next time I'm down the market when I see the "copy" man!!!By the way isn't 'sheer' with 2 e's????xx
