"The King's Speech" is once again interpreting this calmness, and the interpretation is in place. Then-and then it won a lot of awards, the reason, personal feeling, is because it "tells the British people's own story" in the British way-Lu Xun said that the more national, the more global.
The film begins with the atmosphere of the British upper class that we are familiar with, and is constructed through the setting and clothing, as well as the British red tape after the artisticization. Next, explain the political background to construct the film environment, close-up character status to elicit story clues, and quickly switch shots to emphasize conflict. The modest opening method may be a little bit slower than the domestic "blockbuster", and of course the picture must be perfect. So the story unfolded like this.
The Duke of Yorkshire who stutters often fails to appear on stage, although he is still highly regarded by King George V. His wife Elizabeth hired a speech therapist Lennar Rogge after the traditional treatment methods failed, and Lennar Rogge is not essentially a "qualified" therapist. The Duke slowly overcomes the psychological obstacles in the strange treatment. After the death of King George V, Edward VIII loved beauty but did not love Jiangshan. So according to traditional drama, Albert was ordered to become King George VI. And was asked to give a speech before World War II to boost morale.
There is no villain in the traditional sense in the film. This role is played by "stuttering". In addition to the conflicts that must be used in the story, it is the position of the duke in the lens. The Duke is always placed in the lower half of the picture. The lens is high above, giving the Duke a sense of cramping, and it reflects his inner conflicts and struggles-a political figure whose spirit and tongue always seem to be a weapon with him. , Unfortunately, he didn't. In contrast, this trait was added to Lenalrog. The contrast between location and characteristics, in essence, can be understood as the disharmony of form and content in the system, and what it brings is the storytelling we often say. Because of this, coupled with the imagery that the British people have always had, the film is naturally very attractive.
But what I want to say is that, I don’t like this movie. Personally, the soul of the film lies in the plot and the depth it constitutes. What does "The King's Speech" say? There was a stutter, and then he stopped. Although the plot between the stories has its own unique fluctuations, when the film begins with the duke's stammering speech, I can already draw a conclusion: later, he stopped stuttering, and then the story ended. There is an idiom that can summarize this kind of "transcendental" film at the beginning and the end. This is called "different routes to the same goal". Of course, you can also refute it this way, saying that this is the ordinary place to see the depth, but not all scenery meets an individual's aesthetic needs, people are selective. Therefore, I don't like it.
There was a saying in ancient China that "writing is used to carry Tao", and I agree with it. If a work is characterized as a more elegant work, but at the same time it gives people only a shallow level of thinking resonance, in other words, it only gives people feelings, but does not give people thinking, then it is It cannot be called perfect. Perhaps some actors are called "vase" for this reason. "Vase" highlights the visual characteristics, so can a type of film be named "Vase Movie"?
"The King's Speech" brought me nearly two hours of perfect pictures and meticulous editing, as well as an exquisite pillow story. But it did not satisfy my appetite. Of course, this is the British fan in the traditional sense.
