But when I watch The King's Speech, the words that pop into my head the most are lovely, lovely, lovely... This stammering, hilarious, heart-wrenching struggle of George VI is definitely me on screen The cutest king I've ever met.
"The King's Speech" lives up to its name, with a pure British style, and the name is full of seriousness. Looking at the outline of the story and the background of the times, it also seems to be full of historical solemnity. But not long into the movie, I burst out laughing when Colin Firth struggled to pronounce it with seven glass balls in his mouth.
"The King's Speech" seems to be a historical drama, but it is full of light comedy; "The King's Speech" is like an inspirational film, but it does not have the usual enthusiasm and fighting spirit of this type of film. The king's distress is indescribable, the king's entanglement is inhumane, but in this prominent royal family, his position has always been a little pitiful - abused, criticized, and ridiculed. So his various psychological barriers eventually turned into stuttering.
But success also stutters, failure also stutters. The loveliness of the king was in his stuttering, in the embarrassment that he could not speak with his quivering lips, in his resigned inferiority to stuttering, in his unbearable fiery temper with treatment, in his endless courage to overcome stuttering. The king is also cute because he has the face of Colin Firth - unsmiling and so royal when he explodes the Four Character Classic.
When facing his wife alone, the king suddenly burst into tears, and the father of the two children seemed to have become a child living in the shadow of childhood terror: "I am not expected to be a king." - This cry really made thousands of tears. in the hearts of the audience. And then it's hard to see why his wife finally accepted him after rejecting him twice because she found out - "How cute is this guy stammering". Colin Firth burst into tears this scene, its classic comparable to his own tears in "Single Man" scene. It turns out: Colin Firth's crying scene has reached the point of ecstasy.
When George VI finally finished his radio speech and walked out of the radio booth, feeling the sincere respect from all kinds of people, he held his head high with a bit of recognized pride - not the kind of pride that was born with perfect scores, but It is the pride of the failing students who struggled to reach 80 points. At this time, the full sympathy for this character also naturally transformed into being completely overwhelmed by his cuteness.
So in my eyes, "The King's Speech" is a movie that is always very interesting and fun.

There is a lot of fun beyond the film itself in this movie - the fun of traveling, of course, that comes from the divergent jumping thinking that has been cultivated by indulging in British films and British dramas for many years.
When the king came to Logue's house, and George VI finally met Mrs. Logue on a narrow road, a very commemorative picture appeared - after 15 years, Darcy and Elizabeth, who were both lovers on the silver screen, reunited like this ! He looked at each other hard! ! I have to admit: this "bad intentions" scene made me snicker... You must be doing it on purpose, right? !
This movie made me travel to "Pride and Prejudice" more than once. The theater director who raised his nose and eyes at Geoffrey Rush was not Mr. Collins, who always smiled so sly, his face was wrinkled as he was then wrinkled.
The film is a collection of famous British characters. The most surprising thing is to see Anthony Andrews play Prime Minister Baldwin and criticize Edward VIII for doing whatever he wants. In the past, he played the Duke of Windsor who didn't love the country and the beauty. What's interesting is the attitude and opinion of this character in the two films. Can be described as the opposite. Anthony Andrews' appearance in the two films is even close, but two decades later, it will undoubtedly be more weathered.
Last but not least, the director - Tom Hooper. I had no impression or concept of this name before. After checking the works, I found that I had watched several dramas directed by him - "Elizabeth I", "Daniel's Half-Life", and an HBO drama that I particularly liked. Collection of John Adams. With such an association, I found that the charm and human touch of the characters in "The King's Speech", the ups and downs of history and the hilariousness are all in the same line.
When I watched "John Adams", there were two most direct consequences: first, I was completely fascinated by the Jefferson portrayed in the play (President John Adams is of course very interesting, but he is not beautiful enough><); I immediately went to find Linda's "Like a Comet Crossing the Night Sky" to read.
A good movie always leads people to exhaust the story behind it.
