This heartfelt, moving film is the best I've seen in a long time. Colin firth and Geoffrey Rush do a marvelous job playing two strong-willed men who, despite the difference in their social state, forge a strong friendship and respect for one another. Although we know the end of the film from history, it's a great journey from the opening scene to the conclusion. I recommend this film for anyone who likes well-rounded characters, a great storyline, and a historical context.
