historical reconstructions, especially those that s' focus on the biography (which is partial or complete) of a particular character always run the risk to be pompous and ultimately pedantic, expiring in the easy rhetoric of "the glorious portrait" of that character. So is the skill of the director and the charisma of the performers give the right tone to 'work even better when the point of view adopted is more original than one might expect at first glance. One example is Il Divo, which not only gives us a character that, beyond what has been done and Andreotti, in film is fascinating, but it fits in every respect as a real apology on the power .
It is somewhat similar in the spirit of King's speech, which can outline exactly what is the tragedy experienced by the Duke of York (Colin Firth) on more aspects than we might expect . What emerges is a picture of a monarch humanized passionate about his country, but the character is not easy, made more difficult by a stammer which erects a wall that separates him from others, plus the difficult relationship with his family, and a certain alienation, matched only by his interest, by ' common man, which will mirror in a worthy speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), that leaves little intimidated by the majesty of his patient ("My castle, my rules").
What appears to be in effect a meat loaf then proves surprisingly moving, and the final realization of the protagonist fully engages the viewer. Definitely worth a visione, e le 12 candidature agli Oscar di quest' anno sembrano ben meritate, se non addirittura degno della vittoria.
