Unexpectedly emotional. Worth watching.

Great film. :) It's a hell of a story - you're suddenly thrust into the role of King after your brother abdicates, with the world on the brink of the most destructive war ever seen, and  you're required to speak to the nation when you've got a debilitating speech-impediment. Fuck that for a game of toy soldiers. :o 

Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush are so freaking good, their performances alone make it worth watching.

I need to rewatch this one, I think I was too young when I first watched it to get the depth of it.

I love how they used Hitler as an example of a great speaker, and it's the same moment I linked to here:
