Dad was already crazy because of the "great pressure", but the younger son asked this question. to the pain of all mankind. "In the beginning there was the word" is a sentence in the Bible. It comes from the first clause of the first sentence of the first verse "Incarnate" in the Gospel of John of the New Testament. With God, the Tao is God."
Really TM transparent! "Tao" (words) is God - oh drop God! If you can't speak, how can you be redeemed by God? Therefore, you must be able to speak, and you must be able to speak fluently. Of course, fluency is not for God, but for human beings. For example, for the supreme leader of the entire British Empire Church, the subjects who never set the sun can’t let the sun never go down and listen to you always say “Go…Go…God” ...B...B...Bless".
For politicians, especially the uncles and aunts who are political to the level of the head of state, you are no longer a human being, you are a symbol of the country, so your words are no longer your words, but the country's words. Words - the heads of state talk on the phone, and they will be reported on the news network. I talk to Xiaomi all day on the phone, and even the online news is ignored.
The words of the country must be sonorous, loud and deafening. If the country loses its voice, it will definitely be a omen of the country’s subjugation; Yes, don't you see the ubiquitous "speaker" system, always with the prostate to remind you of their presence on a regular basis.
The voice of the king, that is the symbol of supreme power. In the old society, the technology was not developed, and it was impossible to transmit voices across time and space, but the spokespersons were still eloquent. For example, in ancient costume dramas, there are always eunuchs who say "the emperor's decree" in a strange voice, and then the whole room of Qi Shushu will kneel down - the eunuch actually has nothing to say, but the words of the emperor are the words of the emperor. , that is the supreme, sacred and inviolable power, kneeling is a must.
It is hard to imagine that a stammering eunuch holding the imperial edict with a blushing face and a thick neck murmured "Feng...Feng...Tian...Tian...Cheng...Cheng...Yun...Luck..." It's too unlucky, which means that the emperor is stammering. , that is, the operation of the supreme power of the state has gone wrong, and the society is in danger. Therefore, the emperor - that is, the country - must be full of energy and smooth and smooth. In fact, we can see the contemporary "Dai Tianziyan" on TV every night at seven o'clock. Which one broadcasts Isn't the word straight? With the development of modern communication technology, the country's words have become more and more important. Why did General Jin reward Li Chunji, who "sound can make the enemy's heart and courage"? Very simple, in Grandma Li's mouth, the country's words are strong and independent, which is exactly what power wants - especially when power is afraid, this voice makes them feel safer.
Of course, the King of England does not hold real power, but he is still a symbol of the country. After his brother Edward VIII did not love the country and the beauty, George VI had to stand in the foreground, here, he is not a person, he has no personal privacy, he has to expose the words he tried to hide to the whole British Empire in front of. Thus, the story of King George VI overcoming his stutter can be understood as a metaphor about power, and this metaphor is combined with the historical background of World War II, so that the British and American people (which is also the source of the main members of AMPAS) can relive their The bloody battle of world status.
George VI, who was rushing ducks to the shelves, was actually coerced by technological development. With the evolution of communication technology, the way of life of politicians has become more and more "figurative". At first they lived in the legendary palace, then they lived in the newspaper, then they lived in the radio, and then they lived in the video, until today, the multimedia stream formed by the Internet has completely replaced the politicians (However, the members of AMPAS still have conservative tastes, and the "unable to display this page" has caused several presidents to step down, and they have not yet won the favor of the golden man).
In the era of George VI, it was the era of radio. Hitler flicked out an empire with one mouth (a trait he imitated vividly by Chaplin in "The Great Dictator"), Roosevelt used "fireside chats" to regain the confidence of the whole United States, and Stalin also He made several impassioned mobilization speeches, and his thick Georgian accent became an important incentive for the Red Army soldiers to advance. At the end of World War II, Hirohito read out the edict of surrender, and all the Japanese heard the emperor's words on the radio, but the emperor's words were revered by his subjects as "Heming" in the past, and ordinary people could not hear them. The first time most Japanese subjects heard the "crown of the crane", they declared Japan's unconditional surrender.
In the same way, the voice of George VI is the symbol of the British Empire, and his overcoming of stuttering also heralds the reshaping of the authority of the British Empire.
Only when the country's words are straightened can the country be smooth.
Of course, for a man, stuttering can also be explained in terms of sexual psychology, as advocated by Freud. And for movies, those words also mean the complete existence of the art of cinema. In the era of silent films, themes like "The King's Speech" could not be represented on the screen at all - it was the appearance of sound that made film the most comprehensive and inclusive artistic carrier. The evolution of sound technology has also led to the metabolism of film practitioners: Chaplin once rejected the sound film (of course he did a good job in "The Great Dictator"); and Ruan Lingyu's suicide is said to be related to the The popularity of talking movies has a lot to do with Nguyen's ability to speak both Shanghai and Cantonese, but not Mandarin. The advent of the audio era will undoubtedly mean that her acting career will be taken from the bottom of the pot.
Going back to "The King's Speech", there is no denying that history has become a movie, and smearing is inevitable. It is said that the real George VI had an ambiguous attitude towards the Nazis, was an old smoker, and had a bad habit of domestic violence.
But the more he speaks in London, the more standard he speaks—a compulsory lesson for contemporary politicians, Obama's accent is very accented, and our own leaders, with the change of generations, the dialect is becoming less and less. , Putonghua is becoming more and more standard.
Sometimes, I can also drag a little bit of Yangjingbang English. However, like the former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who is more fluent in Chinese than me, he can be regarded as an anomaly for politicians.
As for the country, you still have to speak your own words, no matter how big someone is, it is also someone else's.
