Edward VIII (Guy Pearce), eldest son of George V is designed to sit on the throne of the British Empire, but prefers just to abdicate to marry the beloved Wally Simpson, already Divorced and with a bad reputation, forcing his brother Albert, a shy and stuttering to become king.
In a time when a prime minister resigned for not caught in time, the severity of the political situation (the threat of Hitler) in a time when decency and competence values \u200b\u200bwere found to be necessary for maneuvering, in a time when a ' whole nation is called upon to rally to his king to avoid ending up buried in the rubble of history, George VI, because of his stuttering, he feels, and especially to the eyes of his subjects, inadequate to fill the leadership of the nation.
The most important moment of the last century, falters and stutters while the fascist dictators of Germany and Italy use their voice to bring out the crowds. Once he

The speech of the king is able to convey fully the difficulties of a man forced to give him a 'solemn image, but really awkward because it limited by the stuttering.
This is possible thanks to the skill of Tom Hooper with his great technique that crushes the camera on the face of Colin Firth, lower ceilings and narrow spaces, the breath does not breathe, choking the main character on the screen, and then strangled with a stutter. Bella
screenplay by David Seidler (itself a stutterer). Film
solid and refined, played with great style.
