be and do the king and not have a voice. Must not have been easy the beginning of the reign of King George VI, father of Queen Elizabeth II, who after renouncing the throne of his brother David, he found himself, at a time not so easy to take the reins of the illustrious British Empire. We are in the years between the two great wars. Few certainties, be very afraid. In Europe, as the walls of the daily life of the young Duke of York, director Tom Hooper, designed as a responsible man, but insecure, reasonable, but frustrated, son, brother and loving father. The drama that lives under the eyes of his family, his wife and the nation, is "not having a voice," quell'incapacità to flow smoothly with words and thoughts for a man that is the public face of far more significant than the private sector, represents an obstacle to be avoided cumbersome complexity. Stuttering is just outside the shaping of a more uncomfortable, a collection of insecurities, inaffettività , complex of inferiority experienced by "Bernie", the nickname coined the irreverent speech therapist Logue for his illustrious patient. "The speech of the King" is in fact a film about fear, really unknown, unknown, shadow of life, but "friend" rather than luminary, will succeed Geoffrey Rush, gradually dismantled. The private sector pursues the public on the screen. The fears in Europe about to tear around the exemplary speech of Hitler merge with those of the new king, the word variable. The pain disability invades the country, with that new instrument was the radio, making weight and force policy. Just as the king, brave, try to jump the obstacle of those fears away and that this difficulty in expressing themselves, so the empire must face their fears and fight monsters.
"The speech of the King" is a great film, elegant style, not obvious in the script. Colin Firth, which has always been well said, gives an interpretation of a great actor. Geoffrey Rush as usual charms. Duels, hugs, face between the two enjoy a typically British twist: simplicity and irreverence, a sense of responsibility and thin irony. The Oscar Firth would be more deserved.
