When Hitler's fanatical and provocative speech scene appeared on the video screen, I felt that George VI hesitated for a while.
At that moment, perhaps he was a little timid. Hitler was about to start war sooner or later, and the short-term peace after World War I was about to be disrupted. So... what is his chance of winning the first-rate speaker in history, a poor speaker who suffers from stuttering? He can convince his people that their resistance will succeed in the end and that evil will eventually be defeated?
Comparison 2:
Edward VIII, a monarch whose aptitude is obviously better than Bertie in the eyes of others, does not love the country and the beauty.
Edward was articulate and looked smart. Bertie had a dispute with him and never took advantage. A few simple ridicules from his brother could make Bertie speechless and feel ashamed of her stuttering... But Edward abdicated-this is unimaginable in Bertie's view. of.
It is not so much that Edward did not defeat Wallis's strong aura, but he lost to his own cowardice... When he heard his brother's ending speech, he seemed to show a complicated expression-the two brothers defeated himself. The other may not.
Comparison 3:
During the coronation rehearsal, Bertie talked about George III. He felt that he would definitely end up like that George.
There is an old film called "Crazy King George", which Central Six has once let go-although the plot of the movie is slightly different from that of George III in history, this old man has been fighting his madness in his old age, which is quite different. Easy.
When I watched that movie when I was young, I thought this old king was really pitiful in the first half. When it came to the end, I realized from the bottom of my heart: This is the real king, he is much better than his bad son who saw his father go crazy and was eager to replace him. Although he was finally crazy in history, at least, he never gave up on himself.
King George VI forced himself to give a complete speech. He did a good job. It can even be said that it was excellent... He reminded me of King Elizabeth I hundreds of years ago: No one is born to be a good king. ——If he gave up and followed the crowd, it would be even more impossible to become a good monarch.
In this life, even if you catch a duck on the shelf, you have to beat yourself once-there are too many people around us, because of a little setback, they find all kinds of reasons to escape, which is really a shame.
But think about it, we are just ordinary people, and the difficulties and crises we face, compared with a stuttering king, what is it?
PS:
It is said that George VI has the bad habit of domestic violence and always beats his wife; I also heard that his wife hated the Duchess of Windsor because he could not marry Edward-these are all gossip categories.
