Conclusion:
Who Wins?
Colin Firth for The King's Speech
近兩年都有一部由美國製造並且特別出色的同志電影，08年有《Milk》，09年有《A Single Man》，其實睇呢d戲都唔係咁容易，因為小弟會經常想著角色有異於常人的特質，所以會感到有點不舒服。不過以事論事，套戲又真係拍得有一定的水準，很清楚講出教授心中的牽掛，並且配合時代的差異，更加顯出他的如此情深。
各位主要演員都有十分唔錯的表現，Julianne Moore飾演的女人十分到位，但可惜戲份太少，不能盡顯她精浱的演技。主角Colin Firth因此有過之而無不及，從上次《Mamma Mia!》反斗的大閒角，搖身一變成為質深大教授，而且感情生活一點也不簡單，予人一個看慣世態的形象。呢類角色一向都給人同情的感受，並且讓人覺得很難演繹。飾演佢學生的Nicholas Hoult印象亦鮮明，我覺得佢係套戲第二個亮點，此演員也有潛質在電影圈發展。
感覺上這套電影與《Rachel Getting Married》在性質上幾相似，把一件很小的事放在大螢幕上公映，效果亦不俗。
評分：
呢幾日部電影壞左，所以睇唔到新戲住。係度先祝大家新年進步，身體健康。套戲其實只係一般既愛情戲，都好似冇乜太重既劇情，如果你係鍾意睇d輕型既電影，呢部都可以話係不二之選。
女主角Renee Zellweger曾經紅極一時，呢套可算是佢高鋒時期既作品，所以佢好似真係做得比較好咁，不過佢近期d戲就跌晒watt，詳細既容後再談。而男主角Colin Firth則有等於冇，佢好似只係一個做得唔錯既配角。
由於時間既關係，所以不能像以往般詳談，不過仍可說多句，佢地兩個既配搭有d「夾硬黎」。
評分：
某次坐巴士出九龍，經過旺角既時候，唔小心見到張poster，先醒起呢套《魔幻聖誕頌》會上映，再細心d睇下，原來係有Jim Carrey擔大旗既《A Christmas Carol》。記得係二月oscar之後，呢套戲已經開始有plan，諗住佢唔會咁快上畫，點知未到年尾己經搞掂，準備在當地(美國)聖誕節上映，不過唔駛等到christmas，香港已經提早上畫，唔少影評人都有點失望，批評此舉乃是拔苗助長。
原本一套動畫安份守己，唔應該有呢一部分既詳細闡述。豈料除了cast明星配音外，導演卻想到cast明星參與演出，正面來說，呢個演繹能夠配合所展現既年代，亦增添左整套戲既真實感；但負面地看，佢其實選擇了「危機」─把危險化為機會。坦言導演做左個成功既示範，可能係因為Jim Carrey一人分飾七角，仍保持高水準既演出，可謂值回票價。
雖然呢套戲被列為改編電影，但其內容跟我知道既原著版本並無太大既分別，值得一讚既係佢既真實感，同埋整套戲既華麗效果，暫時冇一套戲能夠媲美。如果迪士尼公司去年以如此質素既電影推上市場，我相信一定比《Bedtime Stories》來得更好既結果。最後亦於此恭喜第一屆金像影后惠英紅能夠在廿七年後，於金馬獎憑《心魔》飾演德仔母親一角首奪最佳女配角，希望她能夠繼續保持氣勢，續於明年香港金像獎再下一城，有幸兩度成為金像影后。
暫時來說，呢部係我在16年以來，最喜愛既一部電影，佢既地位，直乎超越左《仙樂飄飄處處聞》(The Sound of Music)在我心中佔據多年既重要位置。在我眼中，呢部戲幾乎沒有任何既缺點，但在這裡，我當然儘量用中立既態度評論這一部電影。
在演員方面，Meryl Streep、Julie Walters 及 Christine Baranski 既配搭，簡直係最佳拍擋，尤其Meryl Streep 既唱功，都仲可以媲美同劇既Amanda Seyfried。與此同時，刻中既氣氛是其中一個賣點，因為做得好既原故，呢部戲成為左二零零八年全球票房第五位既佳績。
唯一要批評既就係d眼角釨高既觀眾，基本上一個原本唱歌經驗既演員，唱得咁既水準，都算係咁，我覺得Pierce Brosnan 都真係幾慘！
