I finally had the time to watch this award-winning movie... Boy! Was I touched! It had me crying throughout THE SPEECH.
It's the true story of monarch King George VI (Queen Elizabeth's father), who struggled with a terrible speech defect (severe stammering) since he was five years old. The movie is about one man's determination to overcome this impairment that has prevented him from achieving so many things in his life, through the help of one man who believed in him and saw in him the makings of a great leader. When everybody else was expecting him to fail, he so greatly succeeded by overcoming the fears and insecurities brought about by the experiences he had as a child, inflicted upon him (intentionally or not) by no less than the people closest to him, those he cared about and loved the most.
It also shows how a woman's love, strength, and support for her husband, despite his shortcomings and the speech impairment that is most often an embarrassment for most people, can be greatly essential to a man's success or failure.
For me, this is one "must-see" movie for husbands and wives, and couples alike.
