This is a biopic about how King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II, overcame his stuttering problem. Widely considered by all but his father unfit to be king, George is reluctantly thrust unto the throne and into the spotlight after his brother is forced to abdicate. Overshadowed on the global stage by powerful orators like Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini, the King relies on the help of a little-known Australian speech therapist named Lionel Logue to find his voice and courageously lead his people into the most devastating war humanity has ever faced.
This is a powerful, hilarious and deeply moving story, told against the backdrop of a critical juncture in modern history, of the emergence of a deep friendship out of a professional relationship between two men who would otherwise never have socially interacted. The screenplay, written by David Seidler (who also wrote Tucker: The Man and his Dream)， is excellent. The dry British wit is hilarious. I was literally slapping my knee during some of the scenes. Tom Hooper (Elizabeth I) does a superb job directing this movie. The buildup to the climactic finale is skillfully executed and prompted the audience to erupt into spontaneous applause. (Apparently, this also happened at the Roy Thomson Hall premiere.) Geoffrey Rush (Elizabeth: The Golden Age) does a fantastic job as Lionel Logue and Colin Firth (A Single Man) is excellent as King George VI.
I saw the second public screening of this movie at the Ryerson Theater during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).Tom Hooper was present to introduce the movie. He was joined by Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush after the movie ended for a brief Q&A.
It turns out that David Seidler also had a stuttering problem as a child and drew inspiration from the king's struggle. Early in his career he wanted to write a screenplay about it. He dutifully asked the Queen Mother for permission. She agreed but told him 'not in my lifetime'. Little did he know she would live to be 101 and he would have to wait another 30 years.
Another interesting tidbit we learned was that near the end of the shoot, the crew finally located one of Lionel Logue's grandsons, who just so happened to live about 10 minutes away from the director. They got access to Lionel's diaries and correspondence and managed to incorporate some of it into the script.
This movie is an unqualified must see.

这是一个关于King George VI的传记片，Elizabeth II女王的父亲，克服了自己的口吃问题。除了他的父亲不配做国王广泛认为，乔治是不情愿的推力对王位，在聚光灯下后，他的弟弟是被迫退位。笼罩在全球舞台上的强大的演说家如Adolph Hitler和本尼托·墨索里尼，国王依靠帮助一个鲜为人知的澳大利亚语言治疗师叫Lionel Logue去寻找自己的声音，勇敢地领导他的人民为人类最具毁灭性的战争所面临的。
这是一个强大的，热闹的和感人的故事，告诉在现代历史的一个关键时刻的背景下，出现了深厚的友谊，从两人之间的专业关系，否则从来没有社会交往的`出现。剧本，由David Seidler(谁也写希尔斯：男人和他的梦想)，是优良的。英国人干得很滑稽。在一些场景中，我简直就是在拍打膝盖。汤姆·霍伯(伊丽莎白一世)导演的这部电影也很好。累积到高潮结局巧妙地执行，促使观众爆发自发的掌声。(显然，这也发生在Roy Thomson Hall首演。)杰弗里·拉什(伊丽莎白：黄金时代)一份很好的工作，Lionel Logue和科林菲尔斯(一个人)是优秀的国王George VI.
我看到这部电影的第二公开放映在Ryerson剧院在多伦多国际电影节(TIFF)。汤姆·霍伯介绍电影。他加入了科林菲尔斯和杰弗里·拉什的电影结束后，一个简短的问答。
原来，David Seidler也有口吃的问题，作为一个孩子，从国王的斗争中获得了灵感。在他的职业生涯早期，他想写一个关于它的剧本。他尽职尽责地请求太后批准。她同意了，但在我的有生之年告诉他。他不知道她会活到101岁，他还得再等上30年。
另一个有趣的花絮我们学到的是，在拍摄结束后，剧组终于找到了一个莱昂内尔罗格的孙子，他正巧住约10分钟，离主任。他们查阅了莱昂内尔的
这部电影是不必看的。
《国王的`演讲》
I was entirely moved by the king in the film. The king used to stammer severely. Specifically, when he was a little child, he was abused by his step-mother, which gave rise to the stammer. Growing up in the family, he had no alternative but to deliver numerous speeches in public. Nevertheless, he made a painstaking effort to practice pronounciation in order to alleviate the stammer. And eventually he fulfilled his goal. So this movie essentially motivates me to conduct things in our daily life as well as we probably can.
《国王的演讲》观后感(The king's speech in English about it)
It is a quite inspiring story about a man, psychologically scarred, and trapped in a situation from which he could have no escape and facing it with immense courage. The movie starts off with a stammering speech and signs off with a staggering one, with hardly any glitches in between. The basic premise of the movie is fairly simple. A king with a stutter is helped by a maverick speech therapist to overcome his problem and become an inspiring orator. That sounds like a very known territory to most movie goers. But few minutes into the movie, and you realize that this one simply pushes the bar a notch higher.
The film conveyed very powerfully in the opening scene, the enormity of what was required of him. As the film develops, the complexities of the character are revealed. The acting is superb, especially from the three principals, and the development of the troubled and spark relationship at the heart of the film is a joy to watch. The film is very funny and the characters have warmth and humanity. The film is well paced, and carries you along to the emotional climax, so that, even though I knew the story, it had me holding my breath. If you don't need lots of action or special effects in your film, and enjoy seeing top-notch actors at the very peak of their craft, this will be for you. You might also, as I did, gain a bit more insight into the human drama behind a significant, but relatively unexplored period of British history.

The king’s speech
This movie tells the story about the British king—George VI, who is the father of the present king of Britain Queen Elizabeth II. Bertie(George VI) has something wrong with his speaking because of some reasons in his child. With the help of an unorthodox speech therapist named Lionel Logue, Bertie overcomes those difficulties. Lionel takes some unexpected measures to cure Bertie, and it works well.Bertie can speak fluently in front of the microphone, and his speech encourages British to fight against Germany. Then, Bertie changesinto a real British King and leads the British to victory in World War II. Besides, both of them establishes deep friendship with each other.
As we all know, as a public person, the most important ability is speech. A politician wants to conquer the people, he must be good at public speaking. A person who does well in speaking, is more than a million soldiers and can defeat the army without combat. However, as a public man, Bertie is seriously a failure. When his older brother abdicates, he must be a king. He has to speak in public though he does not do like that. In fact, Britain is a constitutional monarchy and the king is more an actor than a politician. As a king, Bertie is poor and moved guy. In the movie, we can see Bertie’s fearful appearance before speech, but he tries this best to do it well. Besides, for Lionel, we can see that he tries his best to help Bertie and he treats Bertie as a friend not a king. When he thinks he makes a mistake, he decides to make an apology to Bertie. But Bertie does not receive him and Lionel have to leave. However, when Bertie comes back to look for help from him, he is not angry and help Bertie. In a word, what makes me touched are: Bertie’s poor situation and his insistence, Lionel’s attitude and their deep friendship.
As a king, Bertie is poor. He must “act” in public. However, he is not good at speaking. When I see his painful face before speech, I am very care him. He must exercise more and do it well. Faced with complex international situation, he has to speak in public to encourage British to be brave so that they can get through the
As a speech therapist, Lionel is unorthodox. He treats Bertie as a friend than a king. He insists on his thoughts and demands equal way in curing Bertie. Lionel is very kind and help Bertie a lot. He thinks Bertie deserves the king and has conflicts with Bertie. After that, with his wife’s advice, he decides to make an apology to Bertie. But, he is given the cold shoulder. However, when Bertie needs his help, he help him without any hesitation.
The friendship between a noble and a common person is very deep. Bertie trusts his doctor and treats him as a friend. Lionel treats Bertie as a friend and just wants to help him but not for the money.
Above all, the king’s speech is a moving movie.Bertie’s efforts, Lionel’s truth and their friendship are melting. From it, I can learn a lot about how to be a good person.

The name of the movie that I watched was “the King's Speech”. The film tells the story of King George VI . George VI was the younger brother of King Edward VIII who is to give up the beauty of the country, when Edward abdicated, he reluctantly boarded the throne. However, George VI had very severe stutter, it is very difficult to make a speech for him, he even could not speaka few simple words. Fortunately, he met a speech therapist Lionel Logue, through a series of training they become friends, the king's stuttering has been greatly improved, and then he made his famous Christmas speech, encouraged the British soldiersand civilians of World War II.
By watching this movie, what attracts me most is that it giving a spirit of perseverance.From this film, I learned that in spite of we have weakness and shortcomings, as long as we persevere and make efforts to achieve our dream, eventually we will succeed.In our life, we will encounter many difficulties and setbacks. In face of these difficulties, sometimes we even thought of giving up. We fear the immediate difficulties, always thinking that we could not beat it. However, atmost time what we really can not beat is not difficult, but rather our heart. During the study, maybe we are not smart and have a bad memory, sometimes we could not find the right solution of one question and we will feel headache about that. At that time if we stop and get down then we’llnot be success. But if we choose studying continuously and eventually we will find that it does not very difficult, then soon we will get the right solution.If we lack wisdom, we should learn enough diligence.Our life is the same, most of us are not beautiful and not slim, we will feel a lot of shortcomings, but through continuous efforts, we will become what we want to be.If we do not have a beautiful face, we can eich our inner and read more books to broaden our horizons.
