Colin Firth AND Helena Bonham Carter??!! I think I just died. OMG!! cannot wait for this!

I have to say what Colin Firth did at the end of the clip is pretty accurate. The King's speech defected condition consists of long pauses between words and not the usual repeating stammering.

i thought he would swallow his tongue when he stammered

Her Majesty, The Queen Elizabeth II would be proud of the depiction of her father, The King George VI.

I loved how Firth got across the king's great vulnerability and humanity. You saw every cruel act perpetrated against the helpless younger son echoing down through the years every time the king opened his mouth. It was wrenching and beautiful. An eloquent and oddly subtle performance, given the very public nature of George's disability.

@suillynn73 he is! Isn't it crazy?! I find myself still not believing the facts myself!

@HelenDiazOfficial I agree. He's a great actor, and I'm sure all guys are jealous of his good looks and talent. Especially cause he's 50 and hasn't aged at all. :)

@mc0558 and who are you to say that about a man which you probably didn't knew? He was a good king and he managed it very well.

@mc0558: aren't those qualities all that is required to be a good king and a good man?

[mc0558]

Firth makes George VI entirely too pleasant. George was a spoiled princeling and a product of the English class system (which by the way has had a resurrection with Cameron). In his favour one may say that he loved his wife and daughters and had a sense of loyalty to his country and empire. But there's not much else good to be said about him.

We all have probs with speech. Music is 10 times worse performing one day easy other day the Wall comes down. I think its where you are and who you are with.
