Speech, speech!

Everyone has been saying how good "The King's Speech" is, but I finally got to see it last night, and I'm just blown away. I haven't seen the other Best Actor nominees but it's hard to imagine anyone could top Colin Firth's painful portrayal of King George VI, an enchanted prince held captive by his beastly stammer. With the help of an out-of-work actor, the King is set free to be the voice of encouragement in his country's darkest hour. An amazing story all the more enchanting because it's true. Long live the praze!
