Review: The King’s Speech

“The nation awaits”, says the poster of Tom Hooper’s The King’s Speech. It is September 1939. The United Kingdom has issued Germany with a warning. The Nazi regime must withdraw its troops from Poland or a state of war would exist between the two countries. The deadline for Germany passes. World War II has officially begun. The nation tunes it wirelesses into the royal broadcast, waiting expectantly for its king to announce the news and to prepare his country for the long road ahead. But King George VI (Colin Firth), only recently given the throne after the abdication of his brother King Edward VIII (Guy Pearce), has a problem. Since childhood he has suffered from a debilitating stammer, seriously undermining his ability to speak in public. Now, in his country’s hour of need, he must battle his affliction and deliver the king’s speech.
