The King’s Speech
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
