Conclusion:
Who Wins?
Colin Firth for The King's Speech
美國電影界一向喜愛拍人的生平事蹟，而且每次口碑都唔錯，其實影迷都心中有數，在每年的Academy Awards的四個角色獎，差不多至少都有一個係此類的，例如07年的Helen Mirren既《The Queen》、08年Marion Cotillard既《La Vie en Rose》及 09年Sean Penn既《Milk》等。到左10年，就係呢齣電影的男主角，今次係飾演一個曾經風光過，現在卻生活潦倒的鄉謠歌手。之前有報導話過Oscar一向玩敬老，但係我就覺得事實不是這樣，Jeff Bridges的確做得十分優秀，而且帶出故事要點，同埋Meryl Streep連續十多次飲恨已經推翻到傳媒的理論。
我呢部戲既員冇乜深入的認識，所有知的野都是因為年初Academy Awards的介紹。Jeff Bridges並不是第一次被提名，連埋2011年《True Grit》，總共有六次。睇完佢在這套電影的演出，都覺得佢其實做戲十分自然，懂得掌握時刻的演出。Maggie Gyllenhaal亦做得幾好，雖然佢弟弟Jake Gyllenhaal人氣真係好高，但係咁樣反而令佢的演技較受人注目，甚至競逐最佳女配角。Ryan Bingham既角色都十分到位，雖然冇太大的迴響，但係都叫做提升曝光率。
整套電影的色調氣氛都幾陰暗，而且配合那些悅耳的音樂，完全適合講述過氣音樂家的辛酸，但係可能有觀眾會不明所言，便會覺得很悶。
