The speech of the king

"The King's Speech" reading notes, at first glance, this seems to be an inspirational story. Of course, there is no problem in thinking so. A royal duke with a language barrier is struggling to overcome himself under the urgent situation of the royal family and the country. The flaws and positive changes eventually escaped the shadow of flaws, and finally dispelled the public opinion of doubts, worries, ridicule, etc., and eventually became a great king.
Another part of the inspirational significance of this story is also sublimated by the actions of another character: George’s brother Edward, originally a handsome royal duke, the rightful heir to the throne, has gradually evolved due to life circumstances and romantic personality. He gave up the pursuit of the throne. It also explained from one aspect that if the talent is not used for the day after tomorrow, it will gradually be obliterated and abandoned. For George, it is a very hindering defect for the successor to the throne. If you have the heart to change and keep trying, you will eventually be corrected and you will gain true self-confidence.
You can also think of this as a story about the indiscriminate friendship between the great king and the people, the doctor and the patient. The speech therapist Logue and the royal heir George worked together to defeat the "severe illness." Struggling for difficult tasks. Of course, this "stubborn illness" is not as simple as it seems, it is just a question of "stuttering" or "pronunciation", or "whether speaking is fluent". Under the international situation at the time, the ideal successor among the crown princes was obsessed with romantic affairs and did not think about it in general (in fact, I personally have to hold a negative critical attitude towards Edward or have reservations), and In the turbulent situation of the society and the international situation at that time, a powerful king and a wise commander attracted people's attention in every move. The people wanted hope and confidence and wanted to see a king who could give them a sense of security. Therefore, George’s "stubborn illness" appears so compelling, because for the king and important occasions, a powerful, confident and perfect speech is an indispensable need for the royal family, the citizens and the public. Things.
So if George is an ordinary person, maybe he stutters, maybe his pronunciation has problems, it’s all right. He can choose to become a writer and sell pens, he can choose to sell his physical strength to make ends meet, and he can avoid communication and closeness as much as possible. The door is closed, this is nothing important, and he and others may not think this is such a problematic thing. However, he has become a royal heir and king with language defects. A small problem may become a big difficulty. Just like Edward, a playboy is actually nothing, but because of his background and responsibilities, he seems a little out of general and ineffective. Sense is actually created by location, because people cannot choose their origin.
Having said that, I think that many people may be envious of another kind of life. In fact, all life is a besieged city. Unless you have the key to each city gate and can enter freely, don’t be envious or blind. Pursue another life, unless you have thought thoroughly, or you are a person who never regrets.

    Wonderful plot, beautiful

    In this movie, the kind and knowledgeable Dumbledore becomes the serious and ruthless George V, the wretched and evil Wormtail becomes the steady and calm Prime Minister Churchill, and the hysterical Bella becomes the wise and virtuous. Queen Victoria. In addition, I found that every time a foreign bearer appeared in front of the people, he would definitely bring his wife, and every time Teacher Jiang appeared in front of the people, he brought Teacher Song with him.

The King's Speech quotes

  • King George VI: ...a sieve of thisted siffles!

  • King George VI: In this grave hour, perhaps the most fateful in our history, I send to every household of my peoples, both at home and overseas, this message, spoken with the same depth of feeling for each one of you, as if I were able to cross your threshold and speak to you myself: For the second time in the lives of most of us, we are at... at war. Over and over again we have tried to find a peaceful way out of the differences between ourselves and those who are now our enemies, but it has been in vain. We have been forced into a conflict, for we are called to meet the challenge of a principle, which, if it were to prevail, would be fatal to any civilized order in the world. Such a principle, stripped of all disguise, is surely the mere primitive doctrine that "might is right." For the sake of all that we ourselves hold dear, it is unthinkable that we should refuse to meet the challenge. It is to this high purpose that I now call my people at home, and my peoples across the seas, who will make our cause their own. I ask them to stand calm and firm and united in this time of trial. The task will be hard. There may be dark days ahead, and war can no longer be confined to the battlefield, but we can only do the right as we see the right, and reverently commit our cause to God. If one and all we keep resolutely faithful to it, then, with God's help, we shall prevail.
