Cena principal do filme O Discurso do Rei (The King's Speech), onde George VI faz o seu primeiro discurso à nação britânica (e aliados) sobre a Segunda Guerra Mundial.
That sluggish start. That pregnant pause. Then quickly becomes a rhythm. A consistent rhythm of speech. Broken, but consistent. Consistent, stable, sure. Exactly what everyone needed. Even great speakers couldnt do what he did. Theyd blather through it. His delivery was deliberate and felt concrete and resolute.
It made the king, someone who is normally very distant from the people, almost otherworldly, seem very human. The king felt as though he were hurting just as his nation was hurting. And if the king is hurting, and yet is brave and resolute, than the common man can be as well. This may have been the beginning of the end of the British Empire, but it was the brightest moment in their history.
My Dad used to tell me that when the King spoke, people were entranced, nobody spoke, everyone listened intently. We gained the better man for King. Dad said to me once that during a particularly nasty skirmish after D-Day(Dad was an ex-Paratrooper), he heard the cry, "In the Kings name!" before his regiment surged forward to overrun some German positions that had been holding them up...
Edward was sitting there realizing that he could have been facing this moment in history and a chance to truly shine. But I like to think on some level he heard his brother speak and was proud of him.
In reality, I think he was overall thankful he didn't take it on. He was able to live his life freely while his brother took on the stress. Worse of all, he was friends with Hitler. None of this sat well with the family.
Well he tried to murder his brother, the prime minister and take back his crown with nazis. For me its hard to think that Edward was proud of him. He was a very selfish man.
Edward VIII was a terrible king who openly supported the Third Reich, and expressed strong admiration towards Nazi racial science and eugenics. His father King George V once remarked ``After I am gone, that boy will destroy himself in a year``. He also committed treason, after his abdication, by plotting with Hitler to overthrow his brother (George VI) and said ``They may not want me as their king, but they shall have me as their master``.
One aspect of this speech that doesn't get enough respect, IMO. He obviously *believes* it. He isn't a politician making a stump speech, he is a monarch addressing his people and can truly speak his mind from the security of that position. Yes, "Kinging is a chancy business," but there can be freedom in not having to please a constituency.
Without medication I stammer and stutter due to anxiety. I deeply understand and respect both the King for the effort involved and Colin's brilliant portrayal thereof.
I do as well, my stutter & anxiety held me back in life. I was prescribed 4 1mg Xanax years ago & ate them like candy but still stuttered. My Dr. passed away & I was dealing with a stutter & benzo withdrawal. Dr's won't prescribe Benzos like they did years ago. I take .5mg Klonopin a day that I get from a friend now, looking for a Dr to get my own even detoxing from that is rough. As I've gotten older my stutter has gone away sometimes comes back in certain situations or on the telephone. I have learned I have Telephobia. But once I quit caring about my stutter, learned to talk in a rhythm, it pretty much went away. I wish you luck, everyone has anxiety & stutters a little bit.
I didn’t notice when this film was in theaters - at 4:19 here, Logue stops “conducting” and just looks on as the king goes on through on his own. It’s the mark of a great teacher that he or she knows when the student is capable of applying the lessons on his or her own. In other words, when it’s time to shut up.
I think that, simultaneously, is the moment where Logue stops treating this like any other speech that Bertie has given where he as the teacher has to monitor and help him with his speech, and instead shifts to actually listening to the speech itself as a citizen, a veteran, and a father of two young men likely to be shipped off to fight the dreadful menace against which Bertie is trying to rally his population. Like only in that moment does the full weight and imposition of WHAT is being said fall on him, rather than just focusing on the technicality of HOW it's being said.
I have stammered all my life. Giving a speech like this, under so much pressure, with the entire country listening, takes so much courage. He was a true leader. This would be a worst nightmare and would refuse to do it.
good point. Beethoven was devoted to the rights of the common man (there was a famous story about him as a young man refusing to give way to a nobleman's carriage) - then there's the story he angrily redacted his dedication of his Eroica Symphony to Napoleon when learning of the Emperor crowning himself. I am sure he would have been amongst those that marched the streets against Adolf Hitler in peril of their own safety and security. I've a feeling he would have approved.
@@coltonmason4623 Are you seriously suggesting that the King ought to have picked up a gun and stormed the beaches of Normandy? Also fyi Buckingham Place was bombed by the Nazis during the war & King George VI refused to flee to another location in the interests of safety,
The Queen Mother asked the screenwriter NOT to make this film during her lifetime, because the pain was still too much for her. They respected her request. I wonder how she would have reacted to this final scene, where her husband overcame the greatest challenge of his life.
As someone with a stutter this movie was truly inspiring for me. All the rules of conduct I've had to adopt to "hide" my stutter, all the particular diction I have had to adopt to avoid hard m's and k's, all the doubt at being ridiculed, all the shame of knowing how it impacts me negatively... All of it was on display in masterful fashion. Everyone with a stutter can feel the difference in themselves when not stuttering and the fear that arises inside as that confidence stumbles and the jumbling stammering begins. It isn't an affliction of the tongue, it is a malady of the mind in doubt that makes my stutter happen. Seeing the speech itself is watching a man gain a mastery over himself, not just his words.
If you're interested in hearing the original, there is a video on youtube called 'The Real King's Speech - King George VI - September 3, 1939' with the original recording. It's impressive how accurate the movie's speech was compared to the real speech.
I always tear up when listening to this, because eveyrthing the King said, proved to be true. There were going to be dark days ahead, years in fact, and the war was not confined to the battlefield.
Whenever I need courage in my life, I watch this movie. An inspiration. As Austrian 🇦🇹 I am grateful, that the Brits fought for freedom and defeated Nazism!!! Thank you 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@alexanderdavis4689 Two different people with two different jobs, backgrounds, and experiences in life plus the speeches are written for both of them. It's not really their own words anyhow.
Excellent movie. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It's difficult to believe that a movie about giving a single speech could be this good.
RIP King George VI (December 14, 1895 - February 6, 1952), aged 56 And RIP Lionel Logue (February 26, 1880 - April 12, 1953), aged 73 You both will always be remembered as legends.
When I was younger, much younger, I thought this was a prequel to the kingsmen because of the same actor. My dad, after we watched it, then explained to me that it was a separate movie from that franchise.
Like so many others in this comment section, I am familiar with stuttering and have been since a young boy. No one can imagine the weight that George VI felt in his shoulders. We fear stuttering when speaking to a few people, but the King was speaking to the world!
This is how I like to read. I usually put some sort of ambient music on that matches the scene of the book, then I'll attempt to read each sentence in a deconstructed way. Not just pausing randomly, but pausing on each changing part of the sentence's construction. I need to do this, because I have schizophrenia, and as a result, very low dopamine which means concentration and focus very difficult. I don't read fast, but I like to think when I do manage to read that I read effectively and fully and can immerse myself in what I'm reading almost as well as any of the skilled readers out there.
Interested in your comment about how you read. I am a musician, and I like to surprise myself when I play the notes differently. Have you seen the funny video of all the actors acting "To be or not to be" , each emphasizing a different word? You may read slowly, but you would, I expect, have deep comprehension!
I'm a stammerer, and I learned to deal with it thanks to an inspirational teacher like Mr. Logue. Thank you Miss Dawes, "AND TURN IT DOWN...." " are you copper bottoming them my man? " ❤
Bonjour...j ai adoré ce film. 🤩🤩Cilin Firth y joue avec une telle puissance. Et le sujet....du coup j ai commencé a m interesser à ce monarque tellement méconnu. Un grand roi...un très grand roi.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💐💐 Le royaume uni a eu ncp de chance de l avoir eu pendant cette période si noire. Avec tous mes respects😌
An amazing movie… so many levels. The balance between far left and far right while tending to remnant feudal systems of Monarchy and faction control…. The chaos of lacks of control… over history… and the Liberty of people with social compacts… The wars bring much pain and the hate serves itself. It’s group action and reaction of unresolved anger through extremism. So many better paths while not diminishing readiness nor the rights of individuals and groups. Fear of war can in fact speed it’s not affirmed arrival. The reality of needs and better needs us all.
I was in a speech's club Our teacher made us see this movie Even though the sound quality was shit because of our speakers It was such an emotional movie, ever since I started giving more recognition to performances and it's one of the first movies that even though I barely remember any line, I remember almost every single scene and I love this movie
The interactions between Lionel and the king had creative license, but the two of them corresponded a lot via letters. The king always made time to read and reply to Lionel’s letters. Based on the letters and what others said is what they based it on. The actor portraying Lionel made up all the exercises for the film. Lionel was a stage actor before becoming a speech therapist. The actor or train Lionel was also a theater actor and all the exercises depicted in the film exercises he actually did to keep his voice crisp as a stage actor. He assumed that the real life Lionel probably did the same thing.
My mum and dad lived through these years, and I asked them once if they ever once thought we might lose. My mum said 'never'. And they said it was because of this man. Churchill was made to lead us. It was his destiny.
cry everytime I watched this him having a very lucky shot overcoming his obstacles his wife wishing, and then seeing it was flawless, she also had a few moist tears.
I have no idea why it didn't occur to me before, but the irony of a scene where George VI declares war on Germany accompanied by a German composer on the soundtrack (Beethoven's 7th Symphony) stands out quite a bit. Beautiful music. I don't know of any evidence suggesting that Beethoven had any fascist-type leanings, so this music is perfectly appropriate, not to speak of very moving.
Im a slight stammer and i sing to help me talk.(on Thursdays night karaoke) Sometimes i sing better than i talk. Learned the trick from this movie it works wonderfully

Фильм отличный.
Most of the history best king is typically the king who never wanted the crown but know that they always in reach of the crown, prepared but never wanted it to come. Edit: bro always went from the kingsman to being the king himself. quite sneaky ain’t cha, Sir Galahad 😂
Napoleon I definitely wanted the crown. So did Richard the Lionheart, so did Peter the Great, so did Alfred the Great, Cnut the Great. "oh, I never wanted the crown but I'll be the best king of all" is a f'king Hollywood invention. The only exception I can think of is Pedro II of Brazil, which still means your usage of "MOST" is wrong.
In the background...the greatest piece of music ever composed - Beethoven's 7th, Second Movement, the Allegretto. There isn't a finer piece of music ever created.
To think that during this time, there were speakers that motivated many for different reasons on different principles, Hitler, Stalin, Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, etc. Leaders that had a command in their speeches, but here is a King that carried a spirit of the nation he swore to serve, in the most honest way he could express. Ironically, his speeches stood out because there was a precise tone compared to the other speakers, his deliberate steadiness was the anchor of unity in times of uncertainty and he gained the trust of the people to fight for the future of their country. Churchill could charm all he wanted, but I believe that when the King made the statement to understand that ‘war cannot be contained,’ it rallied the country to prepare for a grueling fight.
It's a movie. George had given public speeches before, without stammering at all (to the Australian Parliament in 1927 in Canberra, for example). Logue had been his speech therapist since 1926, thirteen years before the King's Speech in 1939. The movie disregarded all this, preferring to present Logue and George as meeting only months before the Speech in 1939, with George still ruled by his serious stammer. Not true. Logue continued as King George's therapist until 1945.
Finding here in the comments, expressions, interpretations, and words many, to encapsulate : Being a king, his People honestly asking. Being, the King his people, honestly asking.
To see this and to imagine so Her Majesty inherited her strength her courageous character from her lord father HM George VI. GOD SAVE THE KING GOD SAVE THE QUEEN MAY CHARLES III BECOMES A TENTH OF COURAGEOUS LONG MAY HE REIGN.
Her Majesty said it was a fair representation of her father. Nuff said
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@Ian Robert Davies This is somewhat inspirational, the Crown is a lot of dirt and drama
“A fair representation” is one of the highest compliments you will hear from a Brit. Especially the queen
Lovely. It was beautiful.
Royalty is not really a thing.

Even great speakers couldnt do what he did. Theyd blather through it. His delivery was deliberate and felt concrete and resolute.
About halfway through, you see that Logue is no longer "directing" the King during the speech. He didn't need to at that point.
It made the king, someone who is normally very distant from the people, almost otherworldly, seem very human. The king felt as though he were hurting just as his nation was hurting. And if the king is hurting, and yet is brave and resolute, than the common man can be as well.
This may have been the beginning of the end of the British Empire, but it was the brightest moment in their history.
He meant every word, he was just an old sailor, thrust into a great responsibility, and become a Great King..
Well said
Imagine some of the world leaders today. Great story this and well portrayed here.
My Dad used to tell me that when the King spoke, people were entranced, nobody spoke, everyone listened intently. We gained the better man for King. Dad said to me once that during a particularly nasty skirmish after D-Day(Dad was an ex-Paratrooper), he heard the cry, "In the Kings name!" before his regiment surged forward to overrun some German positions that had been holding them up...
I believe it was originally just called Day, but was renamed D-Day in recognition of the King’s stammer!
and now look, hopefully it was worth dying for
This is history we need to know. Thanks for sharing.

I could not imagine being in his shoes in that moment. The responsibility, pressure, stress, and anxiety in that moment. This truly a Great Leader.

It was a nice touch when his mother smiled
When you think about it, he surprised his family as well as himself by turning into the King that his brother never could've been.

No se imaginan la cantidad de gente que ha ayudado a esta pelicula a tratar con sus limitaciones de lenguaje.
To think that during this time, there were speakers that motivated many for different reasons on different principles, Hitler, Stalin, Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, etc. Leaders that had a command in their speeches, but here is a King that carried a spirit of the nation he swore to serve, in the most honest way he could express. Ironically, his speeches stood out because there was a precise tone compared to the other speakers, his deliberate steadiness was the anchor of unity in times of uncertainty and he gained the trust of the people to fight for the future of their country. Churchill could charm all he wanted, but I believe that when the King made the statement to understand that ‘war cannot be contained,’ it rallied the country to prepare for a grueling fight.
This scene chokes me up. Every. Damn. Time.
It's a movie. George had given public speeches before, without stammering at all (to the Australian Parliament in 1927 in Canberra, for example). Logue had been his speech therapist since 1926, thirteen years before the King's Speech in 1939. The movie disregarded all this, preferring to present Logue and George as meeting only months before the Speech in 1939, with George still ruled by his serious stammer. Not true. Logue continued as King George's therapist until 1945.
It's a movie. Yeah, I didn't know that.
@@musical_lolu4811 ....and no doubt you absorb as fact anything, no matter how historically false, that a film depicts. Wake up to yourself !!
Well we can clearly see that Geoffrey Rush would make for an amazing Alfred in a Batman movie.
I find this a touching scene.
Úžasný a Skvělý film.Divím se Karlovi III.,že se nenechal jmenovat Jiřím VII.Jak slíbil Královně Alžbětě než zemřela.

he would stutter everytime he speak. everytime he would tell something to his father he would already be annoied like he would want him to say it s
Beethoven: To play a wrong note is insignificant. To play without passion is inexcusable. Beethoven was with Britain!
I wonder if they thought to have him actually listen to music. He could do it easily that way. But I'm glad he learned to do it without.

in the comments, expressions, interpretations, and words many, to encapsulate :
Being a king, his People honestly asking. Being, the King his people, honestly asking.
