Academy Awards for Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director & Best Original Screenplay Based on the true story of King George VI's struggle with an acute stammer, The King's Speech follows the monarch's quest to find his voice. The NHB Shooting Script Book includes: - A fascinating introduction by screenwriter David Seidler - The complete Shooting Script - 18 colour photographs - Complete cast and crew credits 'A richly enjoyable, instantly absorbing true-life drama' Guardian 'Thanks to the best efforts of writer David Seidler... The King's Speech isn't just an enlightening period drama, but a very entertaining, heartfelt and surprisingly funny crowd-pleaser.' Time Out 'one of the most pleasurable movies to come along in years.' Wall Street Journal 'By the film's end I was in tears: a pathetic critic-thing whimpering in the half-dark, knocked into resistlessness by the power of storytelling.' FT.com
'Although the film involves a man overcoming a serious disability, it is neither triumphalist nor sentimentalIts themes are courage (where it comes from, how it is used), responsibility, and the necessity to place duty above personal pleasure or contentment... The King's Speech is an altogether more significant and ambitious work than Stephen Frears's admirable The Queen of 2006 and far transcends any political arguments about royalty and republicanism.' GUARDIAN 'Where lies its success? Let's start with the script, by playwright David Seidler, a model for transforming history into an approachable blend of drama and wit. For a film about being horrendously tongue-tied, Seidler's words are exquisitely measured, his insight as deep as it is softly spoken.' EMPIRE 'By the film's end I was in tears: a pathetic critic-thing whimpering in the half-dark, knocked into resistlessness by the power of storytelling.' FINANCIAL TIMES 'All this, amazingly enough, is a true story - told here with grace, good humour and heart.' TOTAL FILM 'The King's Speech is one of the most pleasurable movies to come along in years.' WALL STREET JOURNAL
