Описание

<p> British favourites Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter have been chatting about their new movie, The King's Speech. </p><p> The film charts King George VI's struggle to overcome his stammer and lead Britain into World War 2. </p><p> The movie was well received at the Toronto Film Festival and, speaking at the London premiere, Colin said he was enchanted by his royal character George VI: </p><p> It's an extraordinary story about a man who kind of lived in the shadows and didn't want to come out. One of the things that's been striking me as I talk about it is that he obviously had to be the voice of his country during World War Two. </p><p> The guys on the other side were Hitler and Mussolini and Franco and they were using this medium to very great effect...and this fellow felt like he couldn't even speak. </p><p> Helena Bonham-Carter plays the Queen and Geoffrey Rush plays Firth's vocal coach. </p><p> The film is already being tipped for Oscar glory with experts predicting that Colin may get a Best Actor nomination. Colin was nominated last year for his performance in A Single Man. </p>
