Oscar: Speech by the King takes the best film

Question: Was the decision to play the dialogue of the speech by the King during the presentation of all the ten candidates for best film made before or after that that knowledge that he would win? Anyway, it's kind of tasteless. Again, he did now, speech of the King won, and now Harvey Weinstein will be attributed the bump post-Awards admissions his recut PG-13 film rather than advertising. Rebel. Expect more of this behavior of Harvey in the future.

The big question, of course, is if Harvey Weinstein will now be excise f - word script to appease the MPAA in an attempt to market the film in ten years.

Oscar: Colin Firth took best actor for King's speech

I expressed his disagreement with the best director award for this problem one, but not at all with Colin Firth, taking best actor. The man was fantastic forever and this is the kind of film for the Oscars. No surprise, but it is not a bad choice.

Speech King review

Enter "From King's speech", it is difficult not to be cynical. After all, before displaying an image of the film, he is already begging for an Oscar. All pieces are in place: a historic image (check) the British Royal family (check) the war (verification). A formidable crust top cast (check) led by a skilled player which many believe is due for the treatment of price (check) playing a person with a disability (check-check). All cooked meal by ace award mongers Harvey and Bob Weinstein as still taxable year class end. It is as if scientists gathered in a lab to create the perfect Oscar winner. And it may be just what the movie will be. As I said, it is going, it is easy to be cynical. It remain cynical once that they film gets going it is becoming increasingly difficult. War is exerted to and the newly crowned King George VI has a problem. His rally in England, morale, but it difficult when one is dealing with obnoxious speech disorder. The King (played brilliantly by Colin Firth) must give necessary for his country rallying speech and not disturb her. Disrupt not only his step, he must really hit a lot of the Park (to use an American analogy). Can he do it?

Fortunately, at the request of his wife always supportive (Helena Bonham Carter) was met with a revolutionary speech - instructor makes an unsuccessful actor played with enthusiasm by Geoffrey Rush. The relationship between the two men, even though it is contradictory everything first, predictable of turns into something quite close and vital. This is the friendship of these two men is not only the heart of the film, but also the point of the film. As simple as that and deep, is.

Of course period decoration set and costumes are immaculately spot - on. Edited by Tom Hooper (best known for helming the HBO "John Adams" mini-series) is never boring, because it keeps things moving along in an admirably vivid rhythm. Along the way, Michael Gambon and Guy Pearce show supporting roles as members of the Royal family. The participation of these actors is almost always a good thing, "From the King speech" is no exception.

Therefore, despite his social relationships with the war and people with disabilities, "From the King speech" is not at all heavy or that it is particularly difficult. But it is perfectly correct, as the film almost perfectly what it sets out to do. It can not wrap mental typing something like "Black Swan", but as film, "From the King speech" can boast a false nary move. It may go down easy, but it drops as well.
