Occasionally read an article in a magazine about the story of King George VI of England and was immediately drawn to it. King George VI is the father of the current Queen Elizabeth II. George VI, whose real name was Albert, was frail, apolitical, and stuttering in his youth; his older brother, Edward VIII, was strong and energetic, and the throne of course passed to him, but unexpectedly Edward VIII During his reign, he fell in love with Mrs. Simpson, a woman who had been divorced twice and had a bad reputation. He ignored the opposition of the royal family and refused to marry Simpson, and was willing to give up the king's position. The Duke of Windsor. After Edward VIII abdicated, the old King George V ordered Albert to succeed him as King of England, following the old king's name as George VI.
King George VI could have been a prince all his life, hiding comfortably behind his brother, regardless of politics. His wife, Elizabeth, later said that being king was beyond his abilities and that his health had suffered greatly. But it was this introverted, stuttering man who put aside all his concerns after taking the throne and did his best to fulfill his duties and responsibilities as a king. During his reign, World War II broke out. In order to boost the morale of the British anti-fascists, he had to give a speech. In order to speak every word smoothly, he paid a lot of effort. In addition to the support of his wife, there is always someone behind him who is helping him silently. He is Rogge, the doctor of King George VI. In order to overcome his stutter, King George VI found Rogge, and he did not trust him at first, and often turned to him in frustration. He lost his temper, but Rogge still insisted on treating him. The speech marked the pauses in detail, and tried to create a relaxed speech atmosphere. Under Rogge's guidance, King George VI began to speak to the public. He delivered impassioned speeches many times during the war years, which brought great encouragement to the people and the army. In the end, he turned the tide and won not only the war, but also the great Supported by most people. Because at the beginning of his accession, many people, including members of the royal family, questioned him constantly, but George VI proved everything with his actual actions. He bravely took over the king's position and carried the whole country forward until the war. Victory ends. During the war, he often went to the battlefield to eat and live with the soldiers. There was a silent power in this thin man that made him extremely powerful.
After the war, George VI's health deteriorated dramatically, and he died in 1952 at the age of 57. The movie "The King's Speech" tells the story of the first half of George VI. Compared with the text, the movie is more real. It uses a realistic style to describe how a stuttering king overcomes his own shortcomings. Each character has a very unique personality. Authentic, has advantages and disadvantages, and is not preachy. Although the description of the film and the text are different, the meaning I want to convey is the same. Rogge went on to follow George VI, and they not only worked together but became lifelong friends.
