In the acclaimed film The King’s Speech, Colin Firth delivers an Oscar-winning performance that has now been modified for younger audiences in the US.
Due to a series of F-words spoken by Firth’s character, who expresses frustration over his speech impediment, the film originally received an adult rating in the United States.
However, the scene featuring Firth and his speech therapist, portrayed by the talented Geoffrey Rush, has been revised by the producers. It is set to premiere in over 1,000 theaters across the US with a PG-13 rating this Friday.
A spokesperson from the film company stated, “This adjustment allows young viewers facing challenges such as stuttering and bullying to experience the film.”
