The thing I love about this movie is how the stakes are so low, just learning to speak without stuttering, and yet so high because of who he is & what's going on in the world. It definitely deserved those Academy Awards & all the other awards it got that year.
The personal stakes for a stammerer are enormous, my friend.
The Queen Mother (wife of King George IV) was asked if a movie could be made and she said yes but not while she was still alive. She said the memories were too painful. This movie was made after she passed.
Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, wife of George VI (Albert Windsor), just saying. Helena Bonham-Carter rocks the role. I'm sure the old lady would have approved.
Actually he was King George V.
At the end when you were happy they remained friends.... I remember a story when this came out, the producers (directors, writer et al) were doing research, and chatted with one of Lionel's sons, to get insight to him, how to portray him. He dug out correspondence his dad received from King Edward. The letters really showed the depth and longevity of their friendship. It was such a treasure trove that helped them craft their partnership on screen. Heard Queen Elizabeth appreciated this movie, as she felt they captured the loving and wonderful person her father was. Movie deserved its Oscar wins.
George, not Edward. Edward was the one who abdicated.
“Kilt” is what happened to the last person who called a kilt a skirt. 😂😂😂😂
The speech at the end gives me chills every time. Mainly because Colin Firth sounds so identical to the king and also the meaning behind that speech is so chilling.
He was the unexpected king. Became king because his brother abdicated. He was king at a time when Britain was in trouble. During World War II he stayed with his people during the bad times, he could have moved to Canada, Australia or South Africa (all parts of the Empire) but didn’t. His speeches during the war gave Britain (and the Empire) hope, speeches that took a lot out of him for reasons we see in this film. With loads of respect to Elizabeth II his daughter, King George VI was the British monarch of the 20th Century, in my humble opinion.
Thanks for watching this movie,Kamilla.
And lots of prayers and good wishes for your operation and speedy recovery.
Wondered when some reactor would stumble across this excellent movie.
My mother was amongst those who listened to the original radio broadcast and recalled how nervous everyone felt beforehand.
I actually find it really interesting that Helena Bonham Carter played both the mom and the daughter in 2 separate shows/movies (she played Princess Margaret in THE CROWN and her mom in THE KING'S SPEECH).
She is very talented. Can play the elite to the vilest person, a chameleon. Yes, I know that is what acting is supposed to be about but many get typecast or simply don't have that kind of range. You'd never see a Dame Judi Dench or Helen Mirren also being in roles like "Fight Club", "Les Mis" or a chimp suit in "Planet of the Apes".
@@joelwillems4081 Helen Mirren played a gangster's moll in 'The Long Good Friday' although she was also a posh moll.
For those that may not be aware, the Archbishop was portrayed by Derek Jacobi, who also played a stammerer in the great BBC miniseries, I, Claudius (1976).
That was one of the greatest minister ever filmed, and his performance in the title role was astounding!
Sorry, thats “miniseries,” not “minister.” Darn autocorrect…
And the entire series of "I, Claudius," is here on youtube th-cam.com/video/jJLPUtPk-hc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=y2OvM04_BPU1gf8O
@thomast8539 He also played a fantastic Guy Burgess in the 1970s, eating beans on toast with his saucy fingers.
This film took many years to get made. David Seidler who wrote this movie started work on it back in the 1980's but Seidler wanted to get the blessing of The Queen Mother (played by Helena Bonham Carter) before making the movie.
The Queen Mother gave her blessing but asked if this movie could only be made after her death as there were a lot of painful memories she didn't want to relive to which Seidler agreed.
Of course what nobody knew at the time was that the Queen Mother would live to the age of 102 finally passing in 2002.
Sadly David Seidler passed away just a few days ago.
I highly recommend as a follow up to this Darkest Hour (2017) British WWII drama/biographical film about Winston Churchill. Gary Oldman won and Academy Award for Best Actor.
Absolutely
I was also going to recommend this for a double feature.
My favorite part of this movie is when his daughters ask him to tell them a story and he tells them the story about a penguin that turned into an albatross with wings big enough to hug both his daughters who were princessess. Knowing how much King George loved his family, that always makes my heart warm.
Coming from a stutterer, this is my favorite movie ever! Thank you for this
@jacoblantom Have you ever had a mouthful of marbles too?
@@crose7412 nope
@@jacoblantom It's worth a try.
That is the actor who played Peter Pettigrew (Timothy Spall). Bertie’s father (George V) was played by Michael Gambon, who was Dumbledore, and Bertie’s Wife (Elizabeth Bowes Lyon) was played by Helena Bonham Carter, who played Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter! There are only so many actors in the UK!
It's like watching a show made in Vancouver and noticing Stargate actors everywhere. :)
LOL more like directors compete to get the very best British actors over and over again
At least there were as couple of Australians chucked into the mix. And one of them even got a play an Australian, which is rare.
@@johnl6176 Guy Pearce is from Cambridgeshire!
Such an amazing movie... one of those I didn't expect to like but ended up loving. Two amazing things (among many in this movie!)... Bertie's daughter, "Lilibet"... is the late Queen Elizabeth II. And, Lionel? If you've watched any of the Pirates of the Carribean movies, he played Captain Barbosa. Everyone in this movie brought their "A" game!
Winner of 4 Oscars including Best Picture.
Yet still, the composition of the shots veers heavily to the inept. I never understood this about Tom Hooper. I love history but can't watch his John Adams miniseries because the majority of it is shot Dutched with excessive head room and no nose room. He did this with Les Misérables as well. It baffles the mind.
@@bighuge1060 In all those cited cases, it was done with the proper intent. To make the viewer feel rushed, uneasy or even dizzy at the events "spinning" around them. He does perhaps favor it more than usual. I can remember the two shots of it in "Prince of Thieves" when I first noticed that as a high school student. One on Guy and one on the witch and sheriff. There it was to indicate that the character was uneasy or mad. Anyway, the filming composition seems more the responsibility of the cinematographer than the director, no?
@@bighuge1060your complaint is another's joy
Good thing the older brother left cos his niece Elizabeth reigned forever
This movie won 4 Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director (Tom Hooper), Best Actor (Colin Firth), and Best Original Screenplay (David Seidler).
Sadly, David Seidler passed away just a couple of days ago at age 86.
Lol at calling Albert too Germanic and suggesting George when the Georgian dynasty of the British throne came from Hanover in Germany 😂
Add to that that the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes who ended up becoming the Anglo-Saxons and later the modern English, were Germanic tribes, and that English is a Germanic language. So hence why I find it annoying when people get the terms German and Germanic mixed up. Nordics, Germans, Dutch (+ Flemish), English, and Scots (but not the Gaels of Scotland) constitute Germanic Europe. :)
At the 83rd Academy Awards, The King's Speech won the Academy Award for Best Picture, Best Director (Hooper), Best Actor (Firth), and Best Original Screenplay (Seidler).
I didn't expect it, but I love this film!
Such a simple premise, that I thought it would be boring.
Yet the writing and acting are so wonderful that it kept me riveted!
Same. I was pleasantly surprised.
Exactly how I felt.
My favorite scene where Mrs. Logue comes home early! The King's Speech (10/12) Movie CLIP. I stammered as a child, so I know just how the King feels ;-) Pebbles in the mouth is an ancient Greek technique ... Demosthenes.
I like the fact that the actors who played Mr Darcy & Elizabeth in the brilliant 1995 BBC series of Pride & Prejudice had a reunion in this film
?
@@tileuxColin Firth (Bertie/George VI) and Jennifer Ehle (Mrs Logue) acted together as Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett in the BBC Pride and Prejudice.
@@sjholmesbrown well spotted. Ive seen this movie maybe a dozen times and never noticed that.
And Mr Collins!
This movie won an academy award for Colin Firth. Congrats to him
Wallis was born Bessie Wallis Warfield, then she married a guy with the last name Spencer, and then after that a second guy with the last name Simpson. She kept the name Wallis Simpson until marrying King/Prince Edward who gave up the throne bc as head of the Church of England (part of what being king means), Edward was not allowed to be with a divorced woman. As if being an American wasn’t bad enough.
Bertie (Colin Firth) and Mrs Myrtle Logue (Jennifer Ehle) were the lead actors in Pride and Prejudice TV Mini Series
1995
TV-PG
5h 27m
Also the guy conducting the audition was Mr Collins!
@@elizabethstrong6057 Right! I totally forgot about him in The Speech! The best Mr Collins performance if you ask me :)
Such a nice church 😂. Westmister Abbey... yeah it's pretty nice. Love this film.
They filmed the Westminister Abbey scenes at Ely Cathedral, which dates back to about the same time and is about as large.
Another wonderful movie with Geoffrey Rush is 'Shine.' Also based on a true story.
@MarkMcLT Another wonderful movie with Geoffrey Rush is 'The Life and Death of Peter Sellers.' Also based on a true story.
I've seen this film! Yet I am amazed to recognize Anthony Andrews (known to every Swede alive as Ivanhoe) in it. As always, he delivers impeccably. His best role is as Sebastian in Brideshead Revisited (the TV series), where he absolutely slayed and broke thousands of hearts as an endearing but troubled young nobleman afflicted with alcoholism.
He was also in a fantastic adaptation of The Scarlet Pimpernel, opposite Jane Seymour and Ian McKellen.
Brideshead Revisited. The miniseries that I compare every other miniseries to ... and none have come close.
@@janescribner8258 I've got it on the hard drive but haven't watched it yet.
I love this movie, Geoffrey Rush as Lionel was great! Amazing actors all around. Thanks for your reaction to this movie!
I saw this film in a theater. I knew it was based on facts, and it still blew me away. I am constantly asking people if they have seen this and I am always surprised when I am told they haven't even heard of this movie. It is a great bromance with some incerdible humor.
I have a very mild stutter and this movie makes me cry every time....... amazing acting
I remember going to the cinema with my girlfriend at the time pretty clueless on what this was about. And I, being a stutterer myself, came out absolutely loving this movie. A stellar cast, too. Therefore I am so glad whenever I see people reacting to this because well, it does show how difficult it can be for us stutterer at times. Now my stutter isn't as bad as it was when I was younger but I still catch myself doing it sometimes.
I had never considered the Speech part of the title not actually referencing the speech he gives at the end, but the improvements in his speech throughout the voice coaching. Cool insight. Also Dumbledore, Peter Pettigrew, and Bellatrix together in the same movie. :) Helena really sounded like Queen Elizabeth too.
I really enjoyed this movie. I loved the scene when Lionel's wife came in and the Royals were there. She was blown away. Some seriously good casting in the movie.
Jennifer Ehle as Mrs. Logue was unrecognizable to me. I know her best as Elizabeth Bennett in the 1995 miniseries of Pride and Prejudice, opposite Colin Firth!
Wasn't that great? My favorite scene has to be when Myrtle comes home to find the King and Queen in her home. The subtle subtext throughout that scene is so great. When Myrtle, still starstruck, asks "Will your Majesties be staying for dinner?" she worries about the task ahead of her, trying to put on her families best for them. The Queen picks up on this and graciously gives her an out. So good.
The King's Speech is a wonderful film. It has a rather straightforward plot and clever title but what makes this film so great are all the subtext which is in it. Every character feels like a real person with real personal goals and fears. And of course at the center is the wonderful subtext of two men's friendship.
Great film - thanks for reacting to it. The scene where the royal sisters curtsey to their new king breaks my heart every time - instead of finding solace in his cherished daughters, he finds just another reminder of how alone he is.
Glad that you have reacted to this fine movie! Colin Firth, the actor playing Bertie in The King's Speech, played Mr. Darcy in the fabulous 1996 BBC mini-series adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice". I enjoyed your reaction to the more recent movie adaptation of Jane Austen's novel, and I hope at some time in the future, whether for a reaction or for your own pleasure, you will take the time to see the 1996 mini-series adaptation. With a longer running time, the plot and characters become more nuanced.
Btw, at the end of the movie, when Bertie asks his two little daughters about his speech, the first one, Elizabeth, who comments, was the future Queen Elizabeth II of the UK and Commonwealth. One of the greatest monarchs in British history, and the longest reigning of all of them, she died a year and a half ago.
And of course Mrs Logue (Jennifer Ehle) was Elizabeth.
When Lionel Logue gave public readings of Shakespeare in Perth, commercial radio didn't yet exist so what might have appeared like a hobby was actually a big deal. It is said that if advertised in the newspaper beforehand he could fill a hall.
and again the first reaction to this outstanding motion picture
2nd ha. Winston Churchill is Peter Pettigrew!
18:53 , As someone who has stuttered for more than half of my life was this is me. Not that people bullied and ignored me but more like self isolation.
I love this film. It's one of those that pulls you in with fantastic story telling. The cast is superb, everything about it so well done.
In case you were uncertain, the girls, his daughters were the future Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret.
Great movie, thanks for sharing your reaction.
You said you were going for surgery, I hope it went well.
I was on a roof that collapsed last year, snapped multiple bones in both legs, 5 hours on the operating table, 4 months in hospital and I'm still learning to walk again.
The reason I say this is that it relates to the message of the film.
Challenges are there to be overcome. Positivity to embrace that. Friends and family are a blessing to help you overcome if you have them.
Be well one and all.
Cheers from Scotland 🍻
King George VI was abused by his nanny during his childhood, including being beaten and starved. He was criticised and ignored by his father, something which affected his self-confidence for the rest of his life.
Liked your Video. Thank you ! Not just for the reaction, not just for your personal time you've spent, but for understanding of the scenes, which are crucial to watch. Your editing was marvelous. You really felt the movie and you really care.
I watched this ages ago. It wad a touching movie.
Same. Somehow not one I think about very often, though
12:31 ...People might laugh at this, but those are real techniques; I use those and they are quite helpful, partially because they help with your speech, but mostly because it helps you to lose your feeling of ridicule (and if you go to a stage in front of an audience, you don't want that feeling with you, so these tricks are priceless)
In case you dont know, the king became a very heavy smoker and it killed him very young.
The King's Choice is a fantastic film . . . and so is The King's Speech. Thanks for a great reaction!
It's difficult for to admit it, but I'm sure Wallace Simpson truly loved Eduard VIII (David), they lived together all their lives.
3rd ha. I’ve just realised his wife is Belatrix Lestrange.
Hope your surgery went smoothly buddy. Wish you a speedy recovery.
A few inaccuracies in the movie:
Bertie started working with Lionel only a couple of years after the speech in Wembley stadium - 1927.
The evil nanny actually hated David as much as she did Bertie.
Churchill was not concerned that David wasn't a good king. He was a big fan of David's and continued to defend him even after he abdicated.
Lionel's methods actually are unknown. He played it very close to the chest. He didn't leave any records behind. Some of what he did can be inferred from remarks he made about speech therapy. Lionel's descendants say it was very unlikely that he called King George VI Bertie.
David says "Herr Hitler will sort them out," and later Churchill says there are doubts as to whose side David will be on in the event of war with Germany. David was naïve, and didn't really care, when it came to Germany and to fascism. (There was a faction in the United States that was pro-Germany. Its most famous spokesman was aviator Charles Lindbergh. He went to Germany in the mid-'30s and received a decoration and an honorary commission from Hermann Göring, commander of the Luftwaffe. Although Lindy renounced his stand and his decoration when the U.S. entered the war, President Roosevelt didn't trust him and wouldn't let him train pilots.)
von Ribbentrop sent 17 carnations to Wallis because he and Wallis had spent 17 nights together.
David and Wallis had a weird, sleazy life together after he abdicated. They cheated on each other many times and were generally unlikable, and unpopular wherever they went. They also were neither of them very bright.
Sending good health energy for your surgery Kamilla ; its always scary no matter what the procedure. 🙏🙏🙏❤
Thank you, this is one of my favorite movies.
Thanks for the Reaction! This is one of my favorite movies. The fact that it is a true story makes it even better.
I absolutely loved this watchalong with you, it just had so much heart to it. I loved you getting into this historic drama, and I hope you do more. I suggest 1982's Gandhi at some point. Please.
I like the story of King Goerge VI. Even those w/privilege can hv obstacles & challenges to overcome. He stepped up in a time when his nation needed him most. If I rmbr this part of WW2 history, during the Blitz, the King was pressured to evacuate his family from London, but he refused. He thought it was important to stay w/his people. He & Churchill ended up making a strange duo, but quite a team during the war. Talk abt Leadership! Strange take on this movie, I know.
*_THANK YOU_* for watching this one!!!
I have been trying for ages to persuade ANY reactor to give this one a try. I continue to be amazed that hardly anyone has done it.
-on the first visit when Bertie says he “doesn’t care”, he doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about having a speech impediment; what he means that he doesn’t care _WHY_ he stammers, or what the cause is, he just wants it fixed. (He is not getting that root causes need to be addressed in order to make any change)
Interestingly- he never actually came across to me as “aggressive” or violent, per se. His outbursts of temper showed real anger and extreme frustration; they were loud and perhaps startlingly abrupt; but they never felt _threatening_ to me- they raised no fears in my mind that he might haul off and hurt someone. It read (to me) mzuch more as _defensiveness_, than _unkindness._
Even Lionel seems to recognize this: on first encountering these explosions, he doesn’t even flinch, but calmly notes, “You’ve got a bit of a temper”, as if discussing the weather. Later on he explains to his wife that one of his clients is fighting him- why?- _”he’s afraid of his own shadow”._
should watch "Musharaf Finds His Voice" how this movie helped a school kid with a stammer
A gem of a film. Plus you get Mr Darcy (Colin Firth) and Elizabeth Bennett (Jennifer Ehle - Logue's wife) from the BBC P and P.
I adore this movie. Thank you for reacting to it!
There are a couple of great movies or tv series out there about that royal family. Of course the Crown just wrapped up. The first season covers David's abdication and the effect it had on Elizabeth (little Lilibeth here) and her father. There is a terrific television movie called 'Bertie and Elizabeth' about George VI and his wife the queen mother during the war years. I highly recommend it. It also covers their romance before the war.
22:01 - No violence, no sex, but one scene using the f-word was all it took to land this film an R-rating in the USA
The actor playing Winston Churchhill *was* the rat in Harry Potter. His name is Timothy Spall and he's an amazing character actor.
Queen Maud of Norway was King George VI's aunt
Basically all the ruling European dynasties are descendants by blood or marriage to Queen Victoria.
This movie is wonderful. One of the last good dramas. It's moving, beautiful and enthralling. They don't make these anymore
King George VI of England. WW II. Father of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Great movie. I loved the scene when Elizabeth meets Lionel and his wife. Helena Bonham Carter is an awesome actress.
24:22 In fact, Churchill supported a compromise which would have allowed Edward to marry Wallis and keep ghe crown, but no children from their union would be eligible to be King or Queen.
They wanted to do this film a few years ao, but had to wait until Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother (Helena Bonham Carter's chracter) died because of the bad language in it. The 2 girls are Princess Elizabeth (Queen Elizabeth II) & Princess Margaret. Guy Pierce is King Edward VIII (known as David in The Family)
If Helena Bonham Carter is in a production of something, I’m watching.
God I love 7th Symphony from Beethoven
So happy to stumble on your Channel. I know it is a good one to see such a reaction as this. Thank You
BTW, Bertie and Mrs Logue play together Elizabeth and Mr Darcy in the best version of Pride and Prejudice
Get well as soon as possible! You know this was history, Bertie was monikered "King George VI", "Queen Elizabeth II" 's father. This story is true, (not word by word, of course) the changes were made for cinema's sake. That is because "Churchill" 's actor IS the same actor from Harry Potter, George VI 's father actor is Dumbledore from Harry Potter, too. You can find the "real king's war speech" on TH-cam.
This is one of my favorite movies, a hidden gem. Another one is “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” from 2013 with Ben Stiller. Hopefully you’ll get to that one too.
Great reaction! 😊❤
Great reaction! 🙂 I'm so glad you enjoyed this one. Cheers!
King George vi was the last truly great king of England because he had to prove his worth. I don't have anything against Charles, but it's his birthright he's never had to earn it. And George vi is an interesting figure because yes he was abused by his father and pys o nannies his father George v had the most respect for his second son especially his marriage
Good luck and my prayers are with you on youre procedure, as many others will pray as well, I'm sure .
I love this film thanks for reacting to it 😊
I really love that Bertie did not become excellent. He managed to get through the speech, not nailed it. Way more believable this way.
Captain Barbossa was terrific.
Colin Firth is such a great actor
Bertie's two little girls grew up to be Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon.
I'm a believer in where you are from is a fact. Not something to be proud or ashamed of. But seeing this scene does tickle at some subconscious british pride in me.
Good one, Kamilla! This is a really good movie. Thank you for sharing it with us. 🙂
Wonderful reaction ... Thank You
Wallis was Mrs. Simpson 1st name! Se had rwo previous husbands before she hooked up with the Prince of Wales.
A BIG movie here in the UK - and anywhere in Europe that retains a constitutional monarchy (despite the efforts of 18th century France). Thanks, Centane - good movie, good reactions, you might have started a reaction trend here...
It is a terrific movie. Great watching it along with your reactions. Subscribed.
This is such a good movie!
So is THE KING'S CHOICE btw!!!! Hope to see you react to that!
George VI btw died of lung cancer. He had a stammer, and was widely regarded as mentally deficient by many because of it.
The soundtrack is epic!
I love this movie

Great reaction to a great movie, Kamilla. I'm not a 'patreon', just ordinary subscriber, but have the audacity to request 'Finding Neverland' (2005), featuring Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet and others, if you've not seen it. No-one seems to react to this little gem for some reason and you are one of the few who could do it justice - right up your alley I think. Hope your surgery went well and good luck to you, ma'am..
