  • An emotional scene (and a great performance from Colin Firth) from the King's Speech.
    Sorry about the crap quality! I originally uploaded this video for myself. I've since bought the DVD but decided to leave this up here for anyone else who was in search of this scene :)
    So yeah. Enjoy guys!

      And yet, consider this Retro. If he had actually had a fully loving relationship growing up, would he have had the mental fortitude to see his country through the War in the way he did? I'm not condoning anything that happened to him, far from it. But it is peculiar sometimes to see how terrible things end up serving a greater good (in spite of themsevles).

    The look in his eyes after "She wouldn't feed me" is heartbreakingly vulnerable, while the "far, far away" seems to be a brave attempt to trivialise the whole fact.

      I myself have epilepsy and this part made me cry. Little Johnnie was epileptic and perhaps had autism. Despite his condition and limitations on life he was a happy little boy who was close to his siblings, Albert more than David. Apparently David may have written cruel letters about him to Queen Mary but they are lost, only the apology letters remain.

    This is such a perfect and heart-wrenching scene, all of these things, the royalty was so buried in tradition, King George V's ardent and old-fashioned belief that he had to be this distant, angry, almost scary person to them, the kids would know he loved them, but only just, plus the braces on the legs, and being forced to change how he wrote, (left-handed was uncommon, informal, something a member of royalty could NEVER be) and of course the abuse that came from his nanny as little more than an infant. This is when we learn, that would make a kid stammer.

He had no affection whatsoever. He only knew cruelty at the hands of his abusive nanny. Followed by more cruelty at the hands of his brother and father once he was older.

    The way he described the death of his brother Johnny was accurate. People with epilepsy especially back then were seen as demonic and were feared even today. "He was hidden from view, I'm told it's not catching." Having seizures in front of people is something that no one wants because of the stigma and that's way he was hidden from view. He was probably always alone

    What a wonderful scene. The empathy of Lionel… sensitive in his inquiry, not pushing too hard because he wants to help Bertie, not just pry and uncover painful memories for the sake of it. The fact that he almost cries due to the cruelty Bertie suffered, but keeps his emotions in check because he knows it’s important to remain calm so that Bertie feels comfortable sharing…
