Colin Firth was the first protagonist identified during the filming of the film.
MPAA rated the film as R-rated because of the foul language in the film (about 11 Fuck, shit, bastard, tits, bugger, etc.), which allowed the director Tom Hober and the film producer Weinstein Company Very dissatisfied. The Weinstein Company appealed to the MPAA but did not get the MPAA's attention, so it had to issue a non-swearing version. The "clean version" of "The King's Speech" only got three million US dollars in the box office, while the limited version received 135 million US dollars.
After the death of Queen Elizabeth (that is, the wife of George VI) in 2002, the film was allowed to get Roger's diary and other materials, and began preparations for filming.
The film won the "Audience Choice Award", the highest award voted by the media and audience at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival
