Hello everyone, I am your focus on unprofessional film commentary wheat ~
In the eyes of the general public, are those so-called rich people born with nothing to worry about? But in fact, even the most noble people are ordinary people, in addition to not worrying too much about material life, they also have their own unknown troubles, just like the movie that Wheat wants to share with you today - "The King's Speech".
"The King's Speech" was released in 2011 and won four awards at the 83rd Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor, which can be said to be the biggest winner of the Oscars that year.
Stills from The King's Speech
1) My voice represents the people, but I can't say it
The film is set in 1936 in England, after the death of King George V, Prince Albert was in danger of being commissioned to inherit the throne, but Prince Albert was unable to speak in public because he suffered from stuttering, which made him ugly at large ceremonies.
After trying many traditional methods to no avail, his wife Elizabeth approached Therapist Lionel, and with Lionel's help, Albert gradually overcame his psychological obstacles and gave an inspiring speech before World War II.
For Albert in the film, the inability to express his thoughts in front of everyone is the greatest disappointment as a king, as he himself said, my voice represents the people, but I can't say it.
As an inspirational film, "The King's Speech" does not fall into the cliché, as always, telling the story of a small character at the bottom of society, but setting the protagonist as a generation of British kings, so that ordinary people can understand the troubles of those who look like they are dressed and clothed. Born as a human being, everyone in this world faces their own pressures and dilemmas, there is no distinction between high and low, they are born with the growth of everyone, and only after experiencing them can they be deeply experienced.
2) When making a change in your life, it is always the hardest thing to start
Albert in the film is not smooth on the road to overcoming stuttering, and even at first he is not interested in Leonard's strange methods, and the first diagnosis is not happy, but in the days that followed, for some reason, Albert gradually began to trust Leonard and actively accepted treatment.
In fact, when making changes for life, it is always the most difficult to start, because everything is difficult at the beginning, many people are not only afraid to face their own defects, but also more afraid to work hard for half a day and return to the starting point, but if there is no courage to face it, how can it be changed? Fear the wolf before, fear the tiger later, and the final result is only stagnation. Sometimes when you have the courage to take the first step, the next step is the sea and the sky, the process may be painful, but the result must be full of surprises.
3. What does the responsibility of the state and the family mean?
In addition to the display of personal inspirational feelings, the most successful place of "The King's Speech" is to quietly elevate feelings to the responsibility of the country and the family, as a generation of kings, Albert's words represent the people, World War II is coming, if he can't even be afraid to speak in front of everyone, how can he inspire? So Albert actively worked hard to make changes not only so that he would no longer be ridiculed, but also more because of his sense of responsibility as king to the country.
Compared with the responsibility of the state, the responsibility of the family is not overlooked in the film, and when Albert is faced with the dilemma of stuttering, he is never alone, and he has a wife and friends who do not abandon him. How do relatives and friends support and help each other in the face of difficulties? I believe that in this work we can find the best answer.
Finally, I hope that everyone can face their flaws and have the courage to change.
