The speech of the King (The King's Speech)

-Attenzione: sono presenti spoiler (a partire dalla trama). -
Duca di York e secondogenito di re Giorgio V, Bertie ( Colin Firth ) è afflitto dall'infanzia da una grave forma di balbuzie che gli aliena la considerazione del padre, il favore della corte e l'affetto del popolo inglese. Figlio di un padre anaffettivo e padre affettuoso di Elisabetta (futura Elisabetta II) e Margaret, Bertie è costretto suo malgrado a parlare in public and within the radio microphone, instrument information vehicle at the time. Thanks to the support and devotion of Lady Lyon (Helena Bonham Carter ), his loving wife, and unconventional techniques of Lionel Logue ( Geoffrey Rush), an Australian speech therapist, his brother Bertie scalzerà "regneggiante ( Guy Pearce), will rise to the throne under the name of George VI and will find correct speech in his speech better. What inspired his lead nation against Nazi Germany.
Strafavorito in the Oscar race , fresh winner of the Producers Guild Award and Directors Guild Award , King's speech has all the requirements to convince the jury of the Academy Awards and the audience to win over traditionally linked to the product page, solid and well played. It has not, however, in my opinion, that something that would transform it into a great film.
Live with impeccable style but a bit 'from plaster Tom Hooper, the film certainly has its strengths in the cast, an otherworldly talent, and the subject itself: the impasse comes when even the good writer David Seidler seeks to "build" the relationship between the future sovereign and the speech therapist (who remained friends until death of the first), running into a series of sudden changes of pace and sometimes unsettling. It therefore reflects the fluidity of the film, really beautiful in that first part and the beautiful final crescendo, in which Firth demonstrates definitely deserved the most coveted statuette.
Warning, this is not saying that I am absolutely King's speech is a product that deserves a very old British style, is nevertheless a cut above the prevailing vulgarity of the film too soon defined as "revolutionary" and, as already mentioned, doth a series of thrilling performance recitative.
A small note in closing: I do not really understand the reason for the choice of Guy Pearce, actor for seven years younger than Firth, chiamato ad interpretare il fratello maggiore di Giorgio VI; sullo schermo la differenza è palesemente riscontrabile e genera stupore, oltre che confusione...
Da vedere, se non altro per gustarsi il lavoro di uno stuolo di attori letteralmente magistrali.
