SPEECHLESS and INCREDIBLE!!!
loveee this movieee!!!
0. Colin Firth’s acting is absolutely phenomenal! the real first-time wartime speech could be sychronized with the one in the movie…crazy attention to detail!
1. “You have such perseverance Bertie, you’re the bravest man I know.”
“And yet I am the seat of all authority because they think that when I speak, I speak for them…but I can’t speak”
所有困難都可以克服，而且必須克服。無論你是平民或者是皇帝，no matter how reluctant you are, 都需要勇敢面對並改善自己的shortcomings。因為這都不是你自己一個人的問題，你可能是某人的榜樣，可能是整個帝國的榜樣，意義極其重大。
It’s not an option, it’s your responsibility.
When the nation needed a leader and a voice at war, even he was so frightened, he did his part well. King George VI was such a great and brave king as he didnt ask for the king…he was reluctant…and once he took up the job, he did it very well even deep down he was haunted with fear and stress that ultimately lead to his death…he was “easily frightened and prone to tears” since 5 years old …he cried like a kid in the Queen’s arm when he knew that he has to step up after his brother put off his throne for his mistress…
3. it’s just fascinating how the UK is still running the monarchy and royal family system…:3 the story is based on the living Queen Elizabeth’s father King George VI.. the royal family …love it (was tracing the family bloodline on wiki..King George VI ..is the son of King George V…is the son of Queen Victoria…is the daughter of Prince Edward….) though they all appeared on portrait paintings only..imagine they all were once legendary living figures ..honored by millions of people….it’s so so so important to preserve records of history!!! cultural revolution has burned and destroyed lots of precious cultural artifacts of all dynasties…this should not happen again coz we hv to keep a good record NOW for our future generations , say in 2050 or 3011…people will look back at our photos and wonder..how those 古人 live their life with such primitive technology?! (wah..totally off-topic sorry)
4. and after all it’s based on public speaking and public broadcasting haha..guess dad mum would love it too.
