The King's Speech

This movie was a little surprising. When I first heard of it, I thought that it couldn't possibly be THAT interesting. And well, it wasn't that interesting, BUT it was definitely better than I thought it was going to be. Unfortunately, I don't have much to say about it. One thing I absolutely loved about it was the cinematography. They did a really good job of making the crowds look really overwhelming and Colin Firth really inferior. I don't know exactly what they did, it was almost like a fish-eye type thing. It's hard to explain, but it was very effective and really cool. The cast did a great job. And, as I've said before, I think Colin Firth is a shoe-in for Best Actor. I think this is a boring choice, and am hoping for a huge upset in either Jesse Eisenberg or James Franco, but he did do very well in this role. He was very believable. Geoffrey Rush was really good, unfortunately, he's against Christian Bale, so I don't think he'll win, but he was very good. Mostly, right after I saw this movie, I wasn't that impressed. It wasn't until a week or so after I saw it that I started to appreciate the good things about it.
