I finally got round to watching The Kings Speech after hearing such raving reviews about it. I must admit i haven’t been blown away by a movie in such a long time, but what did i expect from a movie which received 7 bafta and 3 Oscar Awards. It was written spectacularly and produced without reason. Colin Firth is without doubt one amazing actor. The most i thought id gain from a film like that was my rededicatation to the love of history, but i gained so much more.
Firstly, the movie showed the history of how the Monarch we know today came into power. Delivering a great story line and providing information to those who are unaware of British history during a time of war. The film displayed many morals in which can be used in our daily lives such as the importance of being ready, because you never know what life may throw your way. George IV was not meant to be King without his brother's abdication he would not have been determined to rid his stammer and be a key figure and comforter to the British nation. Without his preparation which involved him doing certain royal duties he would have never been able to handle the public side of being King. It also showed what having great support can contribute to your life. A good support system allows you to back up your dreams and make it reality. When George IV was not able to believe in himself he had a good wife who refused to give up on him as others had done. Even when he gave up on himself she refused to take no for an answer believing her husband could achieve the impossible even if it meant going behind his back to bring out his greatness. He also had a great speech therapist who although had no education to back up his methods had a passion to help people dealing with speech problems. His passion lead him to go further than the practising therapists, showing you shouldn’t hold yourself back from achieving what you want to do just because you believe you are not qualified. If its your passion have a go you never know the outcome. Words, George IV therapist was trying to find out the route as to why the King first started stammering; it was concluded in the film it was due to the neglect and bullying from his father and older brother. Yet his father did not mean it, it was just an hereditary behaviour passed on to him, which in turn affected his relationship with his child in the most derived way. Don't hold back if your being put down or mistreated as you never know the implications it can have on you later on. Although King George's father verbally abused his child without knowledge he truly cared for his son as it was later illustrated after his death, when he left the comment that King George was the bravest of his children. Upon hearing these words King Georges face light up knowing that his father to some degree acknowledged him. Providing support that we are indeed septic to words building our character no matter who we are. Finally, from King George's therapist i grasped the use of providing different techniques. As we know everyone’s struggle is different and although it is now known, the belief and practise are still applied differently. When we see a technique working for a numerous amount of people its often quiet hard to see why it cannot work for everyone. The reality is, there is a minority which is increasingly growing, and the norm cannot be applied to them. Throughout the film the therapist techniques were seen as bizarre and unsuitable for anyone not to talk of a King, yet we see that its this same bizarre approach that was able to help the King with his speech difficulty and the norm wasn't.
