In contrast to the Coen brothers' usual "three-nothing" style of no climax, no hero, no fun, Tom Hopper's "The King's Speech" wins the narrative thoroughly and hits the bull's-eye exactly. 12 Oscar nominations may be a measure of the film's reputation, but if you want to fully feel the rigorous, delicate, elegant pure British film, watch this film, maybe you can't help but get a standing ovation.
On the road, whether a passer-by A with a strange expression, a stranger B in a strange dress, or a woman with a beautiful face but a shrunken cry in the corner C... privacy. But the movie is different. From the moment we enter the theater and sit down, we can indulge in the origin of the matter. This is the right of moviegoers, and it is also a test of the power of narrative.
Cui Weiping said that "the motivation of the character's behavior provides the meaning of his behavior, and it is also the motivation and motivation of a film's narrative". Every character in the film has a motive, the Duke of Yorkshire is ashamed of his stuttering, Elizabeth is exhausted to give her husband a smooth speech, and the speech therapist Rainer Rogge believes that his existence has meaning. These motives are just a combination of "speaking". With such a consistent narrative line, it is difficult not to let the viewers concentrate and hold their breath to spy on the development of the plot.
Of course, it's not enough to have a reason to wear the film from beginning to end, the grand narrative background is another bargaining chip for the film. After the biographical period background is removed, the inside of the characters will also be evacuated immediately. Although George VI's speech was less than Roosevelt's "fireside chat" influence, what we hear is the cadence of the landing, although he, behind the microphone, once stuttered. But it did become the spiritual support for keeping the fighting spirit of the British people during World War II.
In addition to the power of narrative, the presentation parts such as photography and editing are also remarkable. Except for the hand-held camera lens that expresses the psychology of the characters and the special environment, the films are basically based on fixed camera positions or push-pull and panning based on national camera positions. This not only sets off the dignity of these British static objects such as mottled walls, dilapidated sofas and court furnishings, but also shows the overall visual experience of the film's stability and grandeur.
music! Absolutely wonderful finale. The fusion of background music and live sound gives the image world a surreal romantic color while life is going on. Some netizens analyzed that the film shared Mozart Figaro's wedding prelude, the second movement of the clarinet concerto, the second movement of the Beethoven Emperor's piano concerto, the second movement of the seventh symphony, and Brahms' Requiem. How can you treat the ears badly with such a force of music?
It is also because of the sound that this biographical film has been given the "black pot" of "R-level", which is the level of "Chainsaw 3D Edition". Why? The reason is that the Duke of Yorkshire, encouraged by Rogge, said 42 "Fuck" enthusiastically. Of course, the director refused to accept such a rating, but the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) insisted that foul language is as taboo as violence.
The king, queen and strategist are the big winners of this year's Oscars:
* 2011 Oscar (American Film Academy Award) Best Actor (Nominated) Colin Firth
* 2011 Oscar (American Film Academy Award) Best Actor Supporting Actor (Nominated) Geoffrey Rush
* 2011 Oscar (
AAFTA) Best Supporting Actress (Nominated) Helena Bonham Carter shines brighter than the lead, played by the therapist Reiner Rogge The writer Geoffrey Rush is even more expressive. Whether it is "Shining Style" or "Pirates of the Caribbean", or even the new version of "Les Miserables", the Queenslander who has just passed his sixties has never left his favorite acting career. At the age of 20, he started his theatrical career with the Queensland Brisbane Theatre Company after obtaining an art degree from the University of Queensland. At the age of 30, he made his first film "Deception" ("Hoodwink"). During this period, in addition to acting roles, Rush also directed a large number of plays. I hope this year, at the age of 60, he can hold the golden man again. Like Eastwood and Morgan Freeman, they are all "old treasures" in the film industry, a kind of chronological film memory.
In the film, it was an era of sound without multimedia, but it had power beyond the reach of modern times.

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.
