"The King's Speech", the film that conquered the 83rd Annual Academy Awards - winning Best Picture, Best Actor (Colin Firth), Best Director (Tom Hooper) and Best Original Screenplay (David Seidler) Oscars, will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on April 19th, 2011. And while the highly acclaimed film has grossed more than $123 million at the North American box office thus far, Elepharts suspects that many of you still might not be all that familiar with it. So here's what its all about:
After the death of his father King George V and the scandalous abdication of his brother King Edward VIII, Bertie -- who has suffered from a debilitating speech impediment all his life -- is suddenly crowned King George VI of England. With his country on the brink of war and in desperate need of a leader, his wife, Elizabeth, the future Queen Mother, arranges for her husband to see an eccentric speech therapist, Lionel Logue. After a rough start, the two delve into an unorthodox course of treatment and eventually forge a genuine friendship. Through this unexpected bond, the new monarch will overcome his stammer to find his voice, inspire his people, and rally the world.
