Declare war on the mind

Splendid!

There is a movie where every second is full of tension. From the deepest part of the movie, it can convey the power that is close to the heart - another movie that makes me cry so hard that I can't breathe.

The King's Speech, without a doubt, is such a movie. The manipulation of historical themes is inherently risky, because of the familiarity of the plot and the exhaustion of ideas - it is difficult to add ink to the past - but this speech by the king seems to be more than history itself.

I admit, I went for Uncle Ke, of course, my love for Uncle Ke can no longer be described in empty words, so I omitted it. Looking for a classmate to come to a movie without subtitles does affect understanding, but when you come back, you must digest it immediately! How glad I didn't spend those two hours doing anything else! !

Two standard British gentlemen plus the film's strong British aristocratic temperament. There are no gorgeous costumes, no romance, and no grand pomp, but the movie ignites the soul of the flowers in the delicate and soft words, and in the dizzying transitions, releases the rhythm of the movie - heart-warming.

"I get my voice!" This is George VI's snarky rant in the church where he will be crowned. In the whole film, the most shocking part is naturally the king's "speech", but what impressed me the most was that before the speech, the king played by Colin looked at the speech of the declaration of war on Germany with just over 2 pages, and the speech played by Geoffrey Rush was just over two pages long. The stuttering therapist said, "As a king, I should speak for my people, but I can't speak."

When the prime minister resigned silently, war was brewing, and the people were tormented by panic and helplessness to their king Expectantly. The king's words were suddenly engraved in my mind, and even I didn't consciously make a self-inflicted sarcasm. Life is a joke to anyone.

Wishing on a meteor is an inexplicable thing, placing hope on something that has already fallen. If that thing really fell, it would probably smash through hell, and all the wishes it carried would also be shattered in one fell swoop. Stuttering and being out of time are the fates that the king cannot escape. And the power of the movie does not come from the king's overcoming all kinds of obstacles of fate and finally the blossoming of the flower, and the spirit of nails that can be ground into a needle as long as the hard work is done.

The proposition of the film is choice and mission. The greatness of human beings lies in the fact that behind all the seemingly miraculous things, there is a hard-working soul who trades hardships and sacrifices for the unbelievable presented in front of us. Instead of making a wish on a meteor, he declared war on his heart, endured the pain and gritted his teeth to open his wounds to see, and at the moment when miracles were most needed, he used perseverance and persistence to press down every inch of panic in his chest. And resist, use imperfect self to present perfect effort - this perhaps imperfect declaration of war made by the king to suppress his insurmountable physical obstacles is not just a declaration of war on behalf of the people against evil forces. He is also challenging the jokes of fate, ranging from the wildfires of the whole world to the pain that cannot be touched in one's heart.

Grit to the last second, that's what greatness means, and that's what the king calls an impossible speech. Because He gets his voice. and We all do.

Uncle Ke and Jeffrey Rush are actors who use their expressions to deliver their lines. The actor didn't say anything. All of my favorite Uncle Ke's acting skills are all in the corners of his eyes and brows, and he has a slight margin of mouth corners. The big man who can't walk steadily, but can play a role in the adjustment of his demeanor. In the king's speech, Uncle Ke made me forget that he was Darcy, and how difficult it was - he was this deep, irritable, stuttering king full of inferiority and fear, but at the last moment, he released him Dazzling human power.

The shocking of the movie, the soundtrack is also indispensable, and the occasional occasion sounded, the details of the piano percussion and the momentum of the string music unfolded along with the narrative, and the plot flowed freely between the scene and the music, in one go.

The 50-year-old Uncle Ke will not pass by Oscar this time. Uncle Ke, Oscar has been waiting for you for a long time.

Uncle Ke, perfect.

The soundtrack is flawless.

Film, impeccable.

The King's Speech quotes

  • King George VI: Is the nation ready for two... minutes of radio silence?

  • King George VI: Every monarch in history has succeeded someone who is dead, or just about to be. My predecessor's not only alive, but very much so. Bloody mess. Can't even give them a Christmas speech.

    Lionel Logue: Like your dad used to do.

    King George VI: Precisely.

    Lionel Logue: He's not here anymore.

    King George VI: Yes he is: he's on that shilling I gave you.

    Lionel Logue: Easy enough to give away. You don't have to carry him around in your pocket. Or your brother. You don't need to be afraid of the things you were afraid of when you were five.
