The King's Speech

This Oscar winning movie cost £10 million to make and has been awarded 4 Oscars:

Best Film - The King's Speech
Best Actor - Colin Firth
Best Director - Tom Hooper
Best Screenplay - David Seidler

The film tells the story of King George VI of England, played by Colin Firth and how before he came to the throne, he overcame his speech impediment with the help of an iconoclastic Australian speech therapist, Lionel Logue. It was not the easiest of experiences for the future King but he received much encouragement from his wife, played by Helena Bonner-Carter

Film has already taken in excess of  £142 million at the box office. I think it can be justifiably called a success!

 

 

Interest:

The film raises awareness to the disability which affects about 1% of the adult population in the UK and it four times likely a male will be affected than a woman.

Take a look at this next video clip, which will sure raise a giggle or two or leave you wanting to bite through a cushion! This is called 'The President's Speech'... Have you guessed what's coming up?
