....and a movie that gave one of few perfect movie-going memories. Please forgive me if you have already read this in my top ten movie note...but I can't help sharing it here. The King was about to give his WW11 speech. I sat literally at the edge of my seat,holding my breath,feeling like I was there,at the onset of this period in history and eagerly awaiting the Bertie's words..I shook myself out of it,and looked around,thinking what an amazing moment this was in film viewing history and every member of the audience that i could see were mesmerized and waiting just as much as I was. Firth was unbelievably compelling,and tears come to my eyes even remembering it right now. Impeccable acting throughout,and I want to note Guy Pearce's performance as well. Being a smaller role,he isn't getting much mention,but he handled his role brilliantly. What a film. I NEVER thought it would be such a visceral experience and highly recommend.

This is a truly inspiring movie, and I LOVE Geoffrey Rush. Especially lovd him as Barbosa in POTC. Truly inspiring, if you haven?t seen, watch at [BLOCKED WEBSITE] . com

This movie will be remembered as one of the best historical movies ever made. The character development from the child actors all the way to the character of King George V was first rate, with outstanding performances by Geoff Rush, Colin Firth, Michael Gambon, Helena Bonham Carter and Derek Jacobi. Rush and Firth create a memorable friendship relationship on screen from rejection at first to deep friendship at last. Gambon was perfectly case as the overbearing father / King. Carter was brilliantly adorable as the beleaguered prince's devoted and loving wife. And Jacobi was well-cast as the priggish, stickler-for-form Archbishop of Canterbury. Even the actors' glances and facial expressions in response to events / lines were spot on. The costumery, sets and locations were well thought out and made for a visual feast. All of which says this great movie was well-directed and produced. I will own this movie on Blu-Ray when released. Don't miss it!
