| − | |This historical drama details the rise of England's King Charles VI and his striving to overcome his speech impediment in the prelude to World War II after being forced to become king due to his older brother abdicating the throne. It showcases the Nazis in a negative light and condemns the current liberal education system, as Lionel Logue is initially fired since he does not actually have a degree in speech therapy, with him making clear in a poignant moment that he knows how to do it via first-hand experience. According to history, Logue didn't have a degree because he had to rely on first hand experience to do so and because there was no formal education for that matter when he learned his trade. The film shocked the liberals at Hollywood when it managed to perform beyond their expectations and won the Academy Award for Best Picture of 2010, plus the awards for Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Original Screenplay. | + | |This historical drama details the rise of England's King George VI and his striving to overcome his speech impediment in the prelude to World War II after being forced to become king due to his older brother abdicating the throne.
