At the age of five, he tried to close his heart, so stuttering followed him. He can tear off his disguise and swear in front of Dr. Leon, but he can't do anything to give a speech in public; he can easily tell the story of penguins to his two daughters, but he can't answer his father's anger at him for stuttering; He could talk casually with his wife, but he was powerless to fight back when the king's brother made the absurd move of marrying a twice-divorced American woman.
He was living under pressure without any affirmation. He was eager to correct his stuttering, but one failure after another left him hopeless and cold-hearted. He is eager to communicate with the people, but his status makes him hesitant. He hides all his excellent morals, wisdom of running the country, and maintenance of traditions. Even though he was supposed to be on the throne of the king of a country, he was still afraid, frightened, and uneasy. Even if there was something he didn't understand, he questioned his ability.
Dr. Leon is a good doctor, unlike the "official idiots" who have been knighted. He tried to get him to take off the cloak of disguise, let go of the royal baggage, and understand the most innermost, most real, childhood traumas. In fact, this is not only a process of treating stuttering, but also a process of opening one's heart and building up self-confidence.
The climax of the story comes at the end of the film, when Germany is reluctant to withdraw its troops from Poland, and the king has to deliver a speech declaring war on Germany. This is the first speech he has given since he ascended the throne. For him, Dr. Leon, his wife and children, the ministers, and the people of the country, it is a speech of extraordinary significance in any case. During the whole speech, only Dr. Leon accompanied him. Tell him it was just a conversation between them. So simple, that's all. What we can be sure of is that he absolutely did not have Hitler's passionate motivation or professional speaking skills as a speaker. However, his love for the country and the people, his sincere and sincere feelings, were passed on to everyone through this speech. heart. In such a process, we saw that his wife Elizabeth's tense face was finally relieved because she was worried that her speech would not be successful, and we saw the bravery of the soldiers infected by the speech, who were going all out to serve their country. , we saw all the ministers' emotional changes from skepticism to affirmation to disbelief, and we saw all the people applaud him.
This is him, Bertie - Duke of Yorkshire - George VI.
