About this movie

The King's Speech follows the young King George VI -- the father of the current Queen Elizabeth II -- as he reluctantly assumes the throne after his brother, Edward, abdicates. Considered unfit to rule and cursed with a nervous stammer, the unprepared monarch turns to an unorthodox speech therapist, Lionel Logue.

The King's Speech is a delicately delivered touching story of an unlikely friendship between King George the Sixth and Lionel Logue, a speech therapist. DirectorTom Hooper's superb guidance has made this film a mind-blowing, excellent watch. I really enjoyed it!

I have seen this movie several times in the past few years. It is one of my favourites. I was trying to find the dialogue online when the Duchess of York (who later becomes the Queen Consort) was talking to Lionel at the start of the movie. So I looked it up online & came across the entire script for The Kings Speech.. Reading the actual script is just as good as watching the movie. It is so well written you actually get to read all the actions & can therefore understand the movie better. The script is so well written. David Seidler deserved the oscar for best screen play in my opinion. Aside from that, I found out that David Seidler had a son to a New Zealander & that his son grew up there. I wasn't impressed with his sons reaction to the script though. I mean David actually read him the script before the movie was made, but the sons reaction was negative & discouraging. OMG that made me mad. Im glad his dad didn't listen to his idiot son who tried to tell him that no one would be interested in watching a movie about someone who stammers. Gosh some peoples relatives can be real losers cant they. Just because someone is your relative, doesn't mean they deserve to hear your amazing ideas first. Anyway brrr, thanks David Seidler for a Brilliant Movie!.
