The movie is about King George, aka Berty, who was king during WWII, his daughter is Queen Elizabeth, the current Queen of England. I just think it is amazing to watch this story of this incredible man, and to realize that he lived not very long ago.
This movie is one of the most inspiring movies I have ever seen, and I was crying in the theaters. It is only rated R because Berty lets out a slew of swear words at one point during his speech therapy, let's just say he doesn't stutter when he swears.
Colin Firth is amazing, he really does a good job with those speech impediments. Helena Bonham Carter never ceases to amaze me, she can play such versatile roles! She goes from Bellatrix Lestrange, to playing a loving, sweet wife in this film. She even palyed Olivia in 12th Night. Geoffrey Rush, aka: Captain Barbosa, does a fabulous job as well-he is very funny.
I'm not really sure if the movie is more about the external or internal conflict on Berty. The external confict influences the internal one(s). But if I had to choose, I would say internal, yep its more about Berty's internal conflict.
Here is the trailer: (Don't watch it! Just go rent the movie!)
