The King's Speech is directed by Tom Hooper and starring Colin Firth. The film won the Audience Choice Award at the 35th Toronto Film Festival; it was nominated for 12 nominations at the 83rd Oscar in 2011, and finally won four awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Original Screenplay . The film also won a Golden Globe and a number of Film Guild awards.
The award-winning film reflects its quality to a certain extent. "The King's Speech" is indeed a movie that can deeply touch the audience. Whether it is emotional connotation, characterization, plot advancement, or interest, it is worthy of praise.
The film tells the sadness and helplessness of a prince who grew up under the pressure of his father. He may have a status that others envy, but the pain in his heart is not enough for outsiders. Under the pressure, he became a stammering prince; a figure who was aloof but constantly mocked behind his back.
When the prince unexpectedly obtained the right of inheritance, the supreme right and honor in the eyes of ordinary people, it was not a good thing for him. Because it means more pressure and responsibility, which he can't bear. His stuttering got worse, but he had to find a way to fix it because he had an important public speech waiting for him.
Leno, a fringe doctor who advocates equality and has an incomparable love for drama, appeared in the prince's life. This maverick cures the prince's stuttering with a unique method he invented. During the treatment, the doctor and the prince went from unfamiliar to familiar, and also experienced doubt and distrust. The collision of this pair of friends in the film is full of sparks and fun.
The movie was born out of the true story of King George VI's stuttering. It is very easy to put history or true stories on the screen and have problems that are more than serious and not very entertaining. But "The King's Speech" avoids that well. The cowardly and rude side of the king is shown in the movie, which makes the characters seem real and endearing. The macro background is not described too much, but the small things in daily life are covered a lot, which makes the film more delicate and moving.
Director Tom Hooper was a miniseries and was not well-known before, but this does not prevent people from appreciating the solid basic skills of the film. The reasonable polishing of the plot, the handling of photography, the grasp of details, and the manipulation of emotions all show the director's profound skills. After "The King's Speech", Tom Hooper became an important part of Hollywood.
There are many people who can tell a good story, but very few people can make a good story into a good movie for the audience to see; very few people can tell a good story for us with the camera lens without haste, slow and moderate. less. And Tom Hooper is one of them. "The King's Speech" rises and falls in a melodious and slow tone, the transition of the plot is soothing and natural, and the composition is meticulous. It is an excellent work with few flaws. His earlier works include "Elizabeth I", "Langfu Town", etc., all of which use a similar slow and steady film narrative rhythm, without gorgeous special effects or too much dazzling skills, but can tell moving stories. .
Colin Firth, who plays The King, has gone from TV to film, from Best Actor on Shaky TV to an Oscar nomination for "Single Man." In 2011, Colin won the recognition of the audience with this extraordinary king who was kind enough to be cowardly, and at the same time hidden huge energy in his heart, and also won his first Oscar statuette.
Of course, the lovely image created in "The King's Speech" is by no means the only king. Others are like the queen (Helena Bonham Carter), who is trying to protect her husband, and the funny and righteous fake doctor Leno (Jay). Frie Rush), Leno's bespectacled nerdy son, both come alive with a wealth of detail.
What does the responsibility of the state and the state mean? How to face ups and downs in life? How do friends and relatives support and help each other in the face of difficulties? Maybe we can find our answer in The King's Speech.
