Day 1: The King's Speech


This is my first blog entry, and I am pretty excited! I'm learning all the ways to use this cite, but I'v never written a blog before... so this should be interesting. Everyday for a whole week I'm going to blog about a movie I watched that day, starting today. Today I saw The King's Speech staring Colin Firth, Helena Bonham carter, and Geoffrey Rush. Colin Firth is the main character: Prince Albert- The Duke of York, or later known as "King George Vl". His father is King George V, and is soon going to pass away from old age. Albert has had a very bad stammer problem every since he was little, and everyone knows you can't be a king if you cant speak! So his wife Elizabeth (Helena) takes him to a speech therapist, who suggests smoking and speaking with marbles in his mouth. Albert decides to quit seeking any further help once he almost chokes on the marbles. But Elizabeth doesn't quit and finds an Australian speech therapist named Lionel (Geoffrey) who is positive he can help the Duke. He records Albert reading Shakespeare while blasting music into his ears. This is where the movie starts to really get great! I don't want to tell you what happens next, so you should just go see the movie yourself! Its definitely on my top list of movies to see twice. Looking for a trailer? Here!
