THE KING'S SPEECH ( The Speech of the King ) by Tom Hooper, 2010
The Social Network direct rival film Hooper the Oscar race, when I heard for the first time The King's Speech stayed quite puzzled. The idea of \u200b\u200ba film focusing on the stuttering of King George VI did not seem particularly exciting but just as has happened with the wonderful film Fincher, my doubts were shattered the first few minutes of film. Balancing on a nearly perfect comedy, drama and history, Hooper, along with David Seidler , author of the screenplay, has succeeded in an admirable goal to return to the human dimension of a historical figure who, in virtue of his lineage is as far removed by the common man, making the protagonist of a story that can touch the viewer by virtue of its near universality. The battle of "Bertie", nickname with which Albert ( Colin Firth) is called by their closest family and that will be used by the speech therapist Logue ( Geoffrey Rush) to provide an equal relationship, putting a figure so imposing as that of a real plan on its own, so you can better assist, take over sections of the inner struggle to fight against and overcome their fears, their fears reconditamente more entrenched. With a wonderful time management and construction of the frame that they never thought of facing a mere movie theater (though the script is highly theatrical), Hooper manages to assemble an incredible anxiety in the presence of a primary function the human being as that of the word (of course, here declined to talk in terms of a whole nation, not just particular, assumptions that can shake even the knees speaker talking with the more fluent), transmitting to the viewer the deep unease felt by Albert even in the simplest of dialogues. And this director is a solid foundation in the incredible interpretation of a huge Colin Firth (who has already more than deservedly took home the Golden Globe and attempts to repeat the Oscar), I had the opportunity to appreciate poignant role in a dramatic role (I would say mastroianneschi ) the professor was "widower" of their partners in A Single Man, and here gives a performance without any smear and an extraordinary intensity. Not least the co-star Geoffrey Rush , a Lionel Logue that in addition to treating the metric of George VI, punctuates the film with moments of sharp humor irresistible since almost perfect. For someone who had some doubts about the movie like me, come by, aided by the second movement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony (which really do not know what the hell I smuova inside, as well as the wonderful final The Fall ) with watery eyes, in front of a man reading a speech, is a nice surprise.
course, I invite you, if possible, to see the film in the original version, as it is clear that, especially in a movie like this (and for me, always, but I'm a bit 'an extremist), see a movie centered on a speech defect, dubbed, did not in any way.
