The King ’s Speech
The King’s Speech is a true story based drama. The story is set in England in 20th century. It is about King Georg VI of Britain, his sudden rise to the throne in 1936 and his speech therapist Lionel Logue who helped him to get rid of his stammer. King Georg VI is the son of King George V and father of the currently ruling Queen Elizabeth II. The film is directed by Tom Hooper, starring Colin Firth (King Georg VI), Helena Bonham Carter (his wife Elizabeth) and Geoffrey Rush (Lionel Logue).
After the death of King Georg V his older son became his successor - King Edward VIII. However , he stayed as a king only few months as the scandals related with the married woman he loved forced him to resign. He passed the power to his younger brother Prince Albert . For Prince Albert this was the worst nightmare because he was unconfident and unstable because of stammering. He knew very well that almost the only role the king has is to speak to his people – something he was unable to do. After inviting several doctors to the Palace his wife introduced him with an Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue. Lionel was an ordinary man, but with unconventional approach - he started to call Prince Albert as Bertie, refused to visit his patient at his Palace etc. However the special speech exercises and gradually strengthening friendship with Lionel helped King George VI to get back his confidence and ability to give speeches. His radio -address where he led his country to the war became a turning point. Winston Churchill has been saying earlier in the film that “when Germans will come, we would need a king we can all stand behind”. After this radio-address George VI became such a king for his country.
I enjoyed this film because I like historical movies where everything studied at school or read from the books becomes real . But this particular story offered more than that. It deeply touched my heart. It was so painful to look King’s unsuccessful attempts to make speech in front of the public and how he suffered because of that. I think everyone of us have had those embarrassing moments in our life where would have been liked to sink through the floor . I think the same emotion was very well passed on in this film.
I was impressed by the film and based on my personal emotions I dare to recommend this film also to those who normally do not go for historical films or dramas. I suggest it because it gives insight into the royal life of 20th century England through the story which cannot keep anyone indifferent. For those who do not trust my view, I would like to add that the film has also nominated for Oscars in 12 categories – which is more than any film before - and believing forecasts by the film critics it will certainly get at least one golden man. Thus worth to see anyway!

The Middle Ages

Years 1154-1485 Henry I was the first unquestioned ruler. One of the most important kings in the Middle Ages. He had lands in Britain & France. Then the government was the monarch, a person, not a place. He had more land than any pervious king. After his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine, he also ruled the lands south of Anjou. His empire stretched from the Scottish border to the Pyrenees. England provided most of its wealth, but the heart was Anjou. Henry II began to regain royal control. During the war some barons had become very powerful. He pulled down some of their castles. He tried to restore law & order. He wanted the same kind of justice to be used everywhere. He appointed his own judges to travel around the country

century. The author is unknown and the manuscript is kept in the British Museum (near Trafalgar Square). The story is very important as it allows us to lear about the way of life in the 4th century. The characters can be divided into two groups ­ fictitious and historical. The epic deploys many metaphors - e.g. the sea = the swan's road, body = a house for bones ­ and alliteration. It is structured as two parts. In the first part King Hroghtgar, king of Danes built a palace ­ Hereot ­ near a lake. He disturbed the lake monsters sleep with his racuous parties. Grendel then goes to the castle every night and kidnaps a man. This went on for 12 years. Beowulf, a young viking, decides to put an end to it. He chooses 14 men to join him and sails across the strait ­ with no weapns, mind you, because Grendel fought unarmed and Beowulf was an idiot ­ however according to the rules of fiction he defeats Grendel

patron saint of Ireland. Legend says that Patrick tought the Irish about the concept of the Trinity by showing people the shamrock, a 3-leaved clover. The christianization of Ireland began in the fourth century AD, before the arrival of St Patrick, but it was not until Patrick arrived that Christianity was firmly planted. He was a leader of deep piety, humility, simplicity and unselfish devotion. *St Columba and the Irish Christian mission to Iona ­ Columba, who had the potential to become a king in Ireland, instead, chose to give his full service to the mission of God. Columba is credited as being a leading figure in bringing the living in monasteries into life again. Iona is a small island in Scotland, where Columba settled and founded a monastery on it. From there he set about the conversion of pagan Scotland and much of northern England to Christianity. Iona became a holy island where several kings of Scotland, Ireland and Norway came to be buried

Jacques Louis David ja Prantsuse Revolutsioon

He joined the National Convention, staged Republic marches and attacked the Royal Academy. His actions almost ended with him being guillotined but fortunately he was only sentenced a time in prison. Thereupon, with the rise of Napoleon, David was released from the prison and became the Emperors new personal painter. (Graham-Dixon, 2008, p.268) With regard to the French artists in general, in the 18th century they were dependent on the Academy and therefore very restricted by formalities. King Louis XIV had forced painters to be extremely classical in their style and keep the paintings as clear and formal as possible. (Friedlaender, 1952, p.5) By the second half of the century political changes allowed art to be freer and therefore classicism started to bear a rather political note. Political art, various pamphlets, literature and the Enlightenment laid the foundations of the soon coming French Revolution. (Friedlander, 1952, p.7) Analysis

William Shakespeare - Hamlet

Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters as his sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others. Shakespeare produced most of his known work between 1590 and 1613. His early plays were mainly comedies and histories, genres he raised to the peak of sophistication and artistry by the end of the sixteenth century. Next he wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, con- sidered some of the finest examples in the English language. In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies, also known as ro- mances, and collaborated with other playwrights. Many of his plays were published in editions of varying quality and accur- acy during his lifetime, and in 1623 two of his former theatrical colleagues published the First Folio, a collected edition of his dramatic works that included all but two of the plays now re- cognised as Shakespeare's

worked towards religious, moral and societal reforms. The writings and ideas of John Calvin, a leader in the Reformation, gave rise to Protestantism and were pivotal to the Christian revolt. They contended that The Church of England had become a product of political struggles and man-made doctrines. The Puritans were one branch of dissenters who decided that the Church of England was beyond reform. Escaping persecution from church leadership and the King, they came to America. Of Plymouth Plantation Of Plymouth Plantation is the single most complete authority for the story of the Pilgrims and the early years of the Colony they founded. Written between 1620 and 1647, the journal describes the story of the Pilgrims from 1608, when they settled in the Netherlands, through the 1620 Mayflower voyage, until the year 1647. The book ends with a list, written in 1650, of Mayflower passengers and what happened to them.
