Asked why she hadn't sent her two daughters to Canada in the war Queen Elizabeth answered:
"They will never leave without me. I will never leave without the King. And the King would NEVER leave his people."
The quote, I think actually ends simply "and the king will never leave" which is so poignant. Hitler was reputed to have called the Queen Mother "the most dangerous woman in Europe" for a reason!
1:22
“You have my support.”
Imagine having a king say that to you. Imagine.
Churchill was actually like "Oh my God, I finally see the light..."
Indeed
An Emperor infact.
So Churchill, lacking any significant support in his own party and essentially isolated, received unlimited blank-cheque backing from the Head of State.... thereby empowering him, and giving him the confidence, to beat-down his own party. Thereby history is made (at least in this movie version).
They don’t call it “His Majesty’s Government” for nothing
Can we all just acknowledge not only how well Gary Oldman portrayed and became Winston Churchill... but how PERFECT Ben Mendelsohn nailed King George?! He even got the speech impediment perfect!
Well that’s why he got the Oscar
Where is Gary Oldman in this scene tho? Who did he play in this movie?
@@O.G.H. lol
@@O.G.H. You gotta be kidding me. He played Winston Churchill lmao
well he is reznov after all
Ben Mendelsohn’s portrayal of King George VI is SO DAMN GOOD. Why hasn’t this been talked about more?????
And he also looks like king George VI
I don't know how close Ben's portrayal was to King George's actual speech impediment but it was very respectful and natural,
Probably because as good as Mendelsohn is everyone will remember Colin Firth's portrayal first.
I think Jared Harris’ portrayal was better in the crown.
Never mind the speech, his looks alone were spot on.
George VI may not have wanted to be King. But he was a KING
And a great one.
I don't know enough to confirm or deny that sentiment, but I will so those who don't want power are often the best to have wield it
@@omalleycaboose5937 to be fair to him he had to deal with the second world war
The actor portraying the King was wonderful. Excellent movie.
That is Ben Mendelsohn, tends to act quite well
Colin Firth had standing ovations in Cinemas for his Kings Speech.
What is it about Australian actors and Royalty. Cate Blanchett x2, Naomi Watts, Ben Mendelson, Geoffrey Rush, Guy Peirce and now Margot Robbie. Who have the British had recently? Helen Mirren, Dame Judy Dench, Colin Firth........Am I missing someone?....... Helen Bohnam Carter......... Anyone else?
He did an excellent job, in my opinion also. Every time the king spoke in this movie I could feel the tension of a man fighting stuttering with his every word.
Director Krennic. Brilliant.
Germany: *Invades Poland and declares war on the rest of Europe*
King George: "ARE WE BLIND?! DEPLOY THE GARRISON!
ok that was great
Rouge one isn't it?
@@justice_crash2521 rogue one but yes.
ICONIC!
@Robert McConnell I'm still in charge!
This is THE BEST George VI of the recent moment ( King's Speech - feature film, The Crown - TV Series ). Ben Mendelsohn has the stature, the pose, haircut, the face profile, charisma and the voice of His Majesty the King.
I agree I think Colin Firth is a little too handsome to be George VI but Ben Mendelsohn has got the right combination.
Ben Mendelsohn, what a legend. He gets overlooked way too often, while being amazing all the time.
Part of his spark as an actor is how easily overlooked he is, he isn't the stage but the light that shines on it
He never misses, hes played 2 kings so far, and he was amazing both of those time
@@juanantoniocruz2937 thanks for your comment, now I got reminded about this magnificent movie and can go rewatch it :)
however, gary oldman is there.
not by me....maybe the academy or whatever, but its important that the audience such as u and me notice
This scene is beautifully shot. Starting with Churchill alone with one flimsy lightbulb on, the last flickers of light in dark world.
And it ends with him no longer alone, but despite the situation still being dire and nothing really changing, there are now two lightbulbs lit.
I didn't notice that, but you're quite right!
Beautifully interpreted.
very well spotted, I always admire guys who can "see things/hidden meanings" and talk dribble Drabble that has an element of truth attached , it is a gift
That's the mirror...you see the two lights earlier at 1:22
BattlestarPegasus that is why the commenter meant it metaphorically.
I loved the scene when the King was presented with the choice to leave for Canada and he just gets angry of that thought. That feeling, that fighting spirit of him was the thing that made him a great king in war.
"You have my support."
The support of the worlds largest and most fearsome empire was not wasted on Winston Churchill.
It was wasted. They had to give it all up. They wouldnt of been able to do it without us
@@goodplenty534 The US wins exactly one Big War (not alone by the way) and think that this one victory makes them the greatest country of all time. Well i give it 20 years and the US collpases on their own.
@@goodplenty534 "It was wasted".
No it wasn't.
Wouldn't have*, not wouldn't of
@@Alexander-bc8dh We won the same war. America becomes a super power and loses their empire. Maybe we do in 20 years who knows but well always be bigger than Britain. You all will be nothing but a tiny spec on the world map. Thanks for teaching the world to speak English though.
Oh yeah and we could have won by ourselves. We defeated Japan alone while you were surrendering 80k men against 30k Japanese and spent the next 4 years stuck in Burma. You all never would have gotten it back had we not made them surrender.
Ben Mendelsohn was really convincing as royalty. Such a nuanced performance. Superb casting!
Whoever portrayed the king is incredible. You can feel his emotion as he realises Europe has collapsed and the UK was the final candle in the storm. Incredible acting and truly made the scene.
Morgan Freeman, i think.
@@dickmonkey-king1271I thought it was Samuel L Jackson
The actor playing His Majesty portrayed his stutter perfectly, as one who suffers from stuttering myself it brings its ugly head to bear the most during stress and nervousness as it did with His Majesty in this scene here.
"While some in this country dreaded your appointment, none, none dreaded it like Adolf Hitler"--
What a scene.
“Whoever can strike fear into that brute heart, is worthy of all our trust.” 😎
Man, the shock in Churchill's voice when King George pledges his support...what a fine film. This Yank loves films about English history.
Ben Mendelsohn portrayed King George VI's stutter brilliantly. This is some methodic acting right here.
If this scene actually happened then all I can say is WHAT A KING!
George vi was a hero
It didnt
He lent almost complete support to Winston, the two met to talk about the war on multiple occasions.
It wouldn't have been recorded so some creative liberties have been taken but the general gist of the situation between the two is shown.
Louis Baker He was a great king!
He refused to leave his people, especially during the bombings. It gave the British people hope to know their King would not abandon them.
No one can deny that Gary Oldman really stole the show and rightfully so, one of my all time favourite actors, but also Ben Mendelsohn’s portrayal of King George VI is remarkable. So many subtle moments in his speech with his speech issue and trembling voice in small moments while he talks and some slight stuttering really really exquisite!
Ben Mendelsohn looks exactly like King George VI.
I noticed that myself. Of anyone who portrayed George VI, Mendelsohn is a dead ringer.
No offence to Colin Firth, but Ben Mendelsohn portrayal of King George was perfect
and Ben Mendelsohn looked like King George VI himself
Ben Mendelson always delivers and speaks the best delivery out of any actor I’ve ever seen because they are so memorable.
The Royal Family justified their existence through their actions in those days. To represent our best qualities, to provide an image of courage and decency, to show Britain and the free world that all was not lost.
There is no 'free world'. Just varying degrees of repression conflict and difficulty with human beings. People who think their own society is completely free are delusional.
What gives you the impression the English people got courage by a public figure who knows nothing of the daily struggles the normal people had to endure day after day? I mean they didn't have much of a choice no did they? War was coming because of geopolitical interests, and the normal people had to swallow the bullshit their politicians decided and had to accept that their sons will die in a useless war on top of it. Yeah, sure call it fight for freedom and keep believing WW2 was an act of heroic resistance, and not just a meaningless butchering for greed and money. But whatever keeps you asleep at night fella
@@O.G.H. You must live a sad life, my friend.
@@marcushenryweber1290 You must live in a fairy tale then. Life isn't like in the movies, and the United Kingdoms are definitely not the gentlemen-like Highborns as they present themselves to the world, many enslaved and pillaged cultures can attest to that. But romanticizing glorified murderers and warmongers is surely the trademark of Englishmen
@@O.G.H. The English people believed it was an act of heroic resistance. They looked to King George VI to act as a voice of the people. Which is the main duty of the monarch in modern British society. The Monarch of Britain has been reduced to a mere figurehead. They do not have much political power and god help the monarch who tries to exercise what powers they do technically have. In their role as a figurhead, they are both everything and nothing. The main duty of the reigning monarch is to act as the voice of the people. Its why King George VI was one of the United Kingdoms most popular monarchs. For Britain, World War II was not just another petty squabble over territory or resources. It was a fight for national survival. After the fall of France, it took on an even larger meaning. It was a fight for the survival of democracy in Europe. Sure, you can point to all the terrible acts performed by all sides. There is not a single country that came out of the war with its hands clean. But you cannot look at what the British people as a whole went through, the resolve to continue the fight, you cannot look at it and say there was nothing heroic about it. Churchill was right about one thing. It was their finest hour.
The kings reign was only short, he was never meant to be king, but he was a great king.
Ben did amazing as King in this movie. Throughout the movie, when the King speaks he usually always had short pauses. In this scene, it’s the only scene where the dialogue between him and Winston was fast dialogue because at this point the King already knew what Winston was actually wanting, actually feeling. And he accepted that at this point in the movie, whereas all the other times he spoke to Mr. Churchill, he couldn’t believe how upfront the man was, this caused the King to stutter, pause, think. But these first meeting beforehand caused the King to be more open-minded, which we saw in the scene prior to going over to Winston’s suite, when he was on the balcony, looking over London, realizing what GB was to become had Hitlers reign prevailed, it was in that moment he knew the ONLY man who could lead the people in a fight m was Sir Winston Churchill. This was brilliantly directed and such an important part of the climax in this movie.
Ben Mendelsohn IMO is up there as one the best actors I've seen. I find myself watching him over and over. His technique is amazing
Best portrayal of George VI ever.
This sort of encouragement from a good man is what we could all use during our darkest hour. Thank you for making this video.
Gary and Ben are so good here, you completely forget they were in 'The Dark Knight Rises' together.
Ooo who did Ben play?
Oldman and Mendelsohn in one room, god damn, its amazing
They really needed each other George didn’t want power Winston did so George by example and influence helped ground Winston. and Winston had the recklessness and stubborness that George needed to help lead the country through war. Winston was no angel and George was a man who had suffered horrible psychological stress and physical illness but together in the war they were a great team.
Plus they were both War veterans in their own right, The King Served at Jutland, Winston took up his TA commission and served in the trenches of the Western Front after he resigned from the Cabinet after Gallipoli.
Your wonderful king,, God bless him. What a honourable stalwart man he was. How needed he is, humble yet staunchly determined to defend what England is. 🇺🇸🙋🏼♀️
Because this is a modern movie it will take many years for people to say that this is one of the most iconic movie scenes ever shot, 2 actors at the pinnacle of their powers. Excellent
Ben Mendelsohn looks almost EXACTLY like King George VI.
this exchange is my favorite part of this movie . The king even has a slight speech impediment that is accurate to reality.
Whether this conversation really took place or not, there is something very noble and inspiring about a King, spoilt and segregated from the poorer masses his whole life, who has the courage and wisdom to keep hope and continue fighting for his country against hopeless odds. A monarch who can demonstrate these qualities, in a one to one conversation with a man, not when on television or radio under the scrutiny of an entire nation; that is a monarch I can support. Because those are the leadership traits that the people will rally behind.
Yes just. How England needs more like him, staunchly determined to fight for what England is.
If only today's generation could understand how close we came to losing it all.
It was not that close, the Axis powers never had the naval power to cross the channel.
SuperSix Delta The only real country that was in danger of losing was the UK but aside from that the rest where fine even Russia
Infernal460 if Hitler had waited to invade Russia give or take a few years he would have invaded they all ready had that planed. Had Britain lost air superiority the mighty navy would have been sitting ducks against the German Air Force
@@weisengerben7356 Who knows, had Hitler stayed out of Norway, that would've been 500,000 extra troops available to invade Russia, that and had he not ignored the Russian Winter, the outcome could've been different.
@@weisengerben7356 Even if we lost air superiority over Southern England it may not have been for long, plus Luftwaffe losses were 2 to 3 times more than ours. They would have been short of bomber aircraft to actually attack our ships with, plus RAF reinforcements being rushed in from the Midlands, the North, the Southwest of the UK. The Thing about the Battle of Britain was at no time did we actually commit the entire RAF. The incident where the Prime Minister was visiting 11 group and was told even the reserves were up, was just 11 Group reserves
I was so surprised that the actor looks, acts and sounds like the King. The face, the clothing, the gesture, the stutter, hand in the pocket, Wow.
The events may not be perfectly accurate, to be blunt, but the characterizations in this movie are magnificent.
Not that the other performances haven't been excellent and worth it, but finally a portrayal by someone who actually looks like George VI. And Ben Mendleson did well.
i love this scene, there was a sense of friendship from two unlikely people, just being human.
Two smart men that could see what others could not.
Am I the only one who finds the King awkwardly endearing?
For fan fiction that this is, yes this is " awkwardly endearing".
Well by all accounts he was a very lovely man in real life...
Night Has Fallen There is no way a meeting like this happened in real life.
Oh no I'm not disputing that, I'm just saying that the real George VI was apparently very nice. :)
Quite a handsome fellow, too. :)
The most physically accurate representation of this King to date, very well acted also.
This scene is when this already great movie goes into overdrive.
King George shows why he is King.
Darkest hour, the kings speech and hacksaw ridge are amongst my favourite wartime movies, I’d recommend to anyone 🖤
"There are very few people that I can talk frankly" I think this is the reality of being at the high ranks
100%. I think it was 83% of CEOs feel lonely with like 60% saying it negatively impacts their job… which is insane if you think about it
1:51 That was a true line! What a mind blowing experience to watch this epic
A pep talk from His Majesty would have any free person ready and willing to go over the top.
This is the finest scene in this wonderful film. The beautiful conbination among two professinal actors and Joe Wright. Joe, thank you for giving us this amazing moment!
King George VI, also rose to the occasion.
It’s a shame the world didn’t have VI longer, but an immense gift for us to have had his daughter
I would just be glad you had Winston and leave it alone. While it was a blessing to have George VI instead of his pro German brother, it would probably affect nothing if you had non monarch at all. The British people are capable of getting by just fine without aristocratic parasites who serve absolutely no purpose
This one scene.. made the movie worth far more than the price of admission. Two great actors working together.
Shame they didnt show the beginning of that scene. Churchill was at his absolute limit and was beginning to crack. Of course Edward restored his resolve. I feel when we are at our absolute lowest, a hero is someone who helps pick us up.
Indeed. And quite often it can be someone you least expect, to lift you out of despair.
Edward?
George, not Edward.
im 77 have little time for royalty but this king made a man of himself against all odds and those who held him back that's guts and that's to be admired no matter who you are
The words spoken here: Do we know that was the conversation, especially the part of going to the people and telling them the truth unvarnished? A great scene for the King. You could tell he was afraid and willing to fight to the last. If memory serves, he did not evacuate London during the blitz as a show of solidarity with his people. Such backbone is sorely needed by a King or Queen.
Agree. The king and queen moved the children , but stayed in Buckingham. Staunch defenders of what England is, a free courageous people who treasure and protect your unique history and identity.
@@annhendrickson5223 Actually the King and Queen didn't move the children. They all stayed at Buckingham Palace. When asked by an American why the Queen hadn't sent the children to Canada she replied: "They wouldn't go without me, I would never go without the King and he will never leave his people"
While going through the ruins of London after the Blitz, the King met and talked with His subjects. One lady called out, "Thank God for a good king." He is said to have replied, "No, ma'am. Thank God for a good people." No wonder the people loved Him. He was a symbol of courage and hope.
One of my favorite movies staring one of the greatest actors ever. His portrayal of Winston Churchill is incredible.
They remained friends until death. He honored King George by helping Queen Elizabeth in her new role. He loved both so dearly.
This scene proves that Ben Mendelsohn can do more than just play a smarmy villain.
Oldman is something else. Idiosyncrasies , burping coughing a myraid of humanizations just makes him a cut above
Why couldn't The Crown have cast the actor who played George 6th here in the their show. He's a great actor and a doppelganger of the real George.
if they casted it? tbh it would be really bloody dope to see Ben Mendelsohn's King George VI interact with her daughter, Elizabeth portrayed by Claire Foy and PM Winston Churchill by John Lithgow
The power in that bedroom was staggering at that moment. These two men changed the course of WW2 and history with their decision to fight Hitler head on.
Ben Mendelsohn played such a good King George it almost made me forget that Winston Churchill was being played by Gary Oldman in a fat suit.
Ben Mendelsohn is brilliant in this. Probably the best portrayal of George VI I've seen.
Ben was damn good.
Be careful not to choke on your aspirations director
SGGamingHD that’s exactly what I said to my friend sitting next to me in the theater.
Charlie Theanteater hahahah brilliant!
SGGamingHD I said that to him during ready player one as well
Charlie Theanteater haha nice :D
Charlie Theanteater I just watched that movie, not going to lie I may of overused the deploy the garrison joke lmao
Two of my very favorite actors in a powerful scene together.
My favorite scene in the entire movie. Here Churchill sits, a lonely figure with the weight of the world on his shoulders. The "buoyancy" he proclaims in a previous speech has been compromised by the doubts of his own party. Along comes His Majesty and restores that buoyancy with three words, "Beat the buggers".
Captain Marvel brought me here - Ben Mendelsohn is so versatile he could be a shapeshifter.
Me too... After Captain Marvel I'm watching all his movies I can find
One of my favorite scenes in the movie
This is Gary Oldman, seriously lol
"beat the bugger"
**picks up cricket bat**
Me: "by your command"
George the Good.
the truth
While it would've been very cool to see Colin Firth play King George VI in this film, Ben Mendelsohn really looks like him.
Seriously, look at George VI next to Mendelsohn. It's uncanny.
Incredible scene. The two most powerful men in the country, a country which is the last flame of freedom and liberty in Europe - Sitting in a drab room discussing events that will change world history forever. Not as a King and Prime Minister, but as two ordinary men, caught up in quite extraordinary circumstances. Knowing they require one another, to lead the nation out of its darkest hour and send a message of hope to Europe - They CAN be beaten.
Great Britain’s Marcus Aurelius... George VI
Ave imperator
" beat the buggers" great line from a great man
Fantastic scene.
Note, scene is devoid of music except for the last 5 seconds.
ANY interjection of music would have detracted from this wonderful scene.
Amazing acting by both.
Watched the movie, and while seeing this scene thought to myself: what would have happened to Europe if the King did not had this chat with Churchill?
Well the king didn't have this kind of chat with Churchill so....everything that happened without this chat was what happened.
Pedro Fragoso
This is fan fiction and wishful thinking.
Proof?
@@dicio4001 Why not The PM and the Monarch have a weekly meeting in private All the PMs and Kings and Queens have done so for the last 200 odd years
Well, if we're speaking about technicalities, then exactly this didn't happen, but then again, Churchill's speech also sounded very different irl. But King George really didn't like Churchill that much, and hated the fact that he had to accept him as new prime minister, and after one of their private meetings, which they had every week, all of his disdain disappeared. Couple of months later, they were close friends. Details are for us to imagine, after all they're private life.
Ben Mendelsohn and Gary Oldman are legit 2 of the best actors working now
Just how did Gary Oldman pull this off!
And also, Churchill was the best choice for Prime Minister during WWII, a damn sight better than Chamberlain
This was an amazing movie and I love these 2 men…they nailed their roles.
Wonderful moment. Away from this film, one of my favourite sayings of all time is the one that goes, It's not the size of the man in the fight that counts but the size of the fight in the man.
One of the best scenes. The right man at the right time, both of them.
Such a powerfull scene...incredible acting.
first scene i searched on UA-cam after seeing the movie... nice job
“You have my support” was all Churchill needed to hear to do what was needed to be done.
3:00 and onwards is so beautifully shot. Hell, this is entire movie was beautifully shot with some damn fine acting all around. You know it’s a good film when you forget you’re watching a guy in a fat suit playing make-believe
A fine and keen observation. I watched this movie twice this past week, back-to-back. It carried the same impact the second time through. I will likely watch it again soon and that is due to what you cited. The suspension of disbelief. Forgetting that you are watching a performance.
arguable the best acting in the whole film. I know Gary Oldman is the greatest living actor (can do everything from a Chechen terrorist hijacker to Winston Churchill perfectly and every accent in the world) and I was saying that 15 years before it was trendy to say so.... but by god there are some phenomenal Australian actors. Ben Mendelsohn is out of this world here. I remember seeing this film in central London in a dark cinema only 2 miles from Westminster and the atmosphere in this scene was electric. Speaking of Aussies and WW2 films another equally magnificent Australian actor is Noah Taylor who played the young Adolf Hitler with an understanding and depth of psychology that was terrifyingly brilliant.
The scene is illuminated by a single, harsh lightbulb. But when the king sits down, now there are two. It is the turning point in the film. There is a big difference between one light bulb and two.
This, is a true King I tell you; "go to the people, and let them instruct you".... how Royal of him ! You go England !
This movie and Dunkirk pair so well. Two fantastic films I love dearly.
great movie, even greater scene.
not only is it moving but also a little bit funny too. 😄
5 minutes later “ANTONYYYYY VETO THE MOTION”
One of the most patriotic I have ever felt after watching this video.
Beat the buggers! ha ha ha! never resonates that loud.
Came here after watching Ben Mendelsohn’s superb acting HBo’s “The Outsider”.
Fortunately for us at the time, whatever people's thoughts or feelings about Churchill, 2 leaders we needed.
