- I do NOT own any right on this.
This video has been made just for fun.
This the movie version from "The King's Speech" of the famous speech made by King George VI announcing Britain entering World War Two in 1939.
If anyone wants to listen the original speech, this is the link:
www.awesomestor...
As many people is asking the song's name:
Speaking Unto Nations (Beethoven Symphony no 7 - II )
Come to think of it, he’s competing against a great orator and public speaker in Hitler. Yet, knowing the cicumstance this speech felt more powerful.
aye
best example of how you don't have to be screaming/yelling to be "charismatic"
Tbf, Hitler did very radio speeches in WWII. And almost none in the last few years of the war. He was high on drugs and totally broken
I've never really thought much of Firth, but his acting in this is incredible.
The guy who single handedly dominated the action set pieces with Kingsman, and just won everything in Kings Speech .. i'd say 'incresible' feels like an under statement.
Sir Banastre Tarleton - You didn't like him as Mr. Darcy in _Pride and Prejudice_ ?
Pretty sure this just means you've never really seen much with Colin Firth in it
His performance in A Single Man is even better. He is really good here, but truly extraordinary in that movie. Deserved the Oscar for that one.
@@abobobilly sorry for the late reply but I didn’t really rate kingsman as a movie tbh, nor did I think there was any acting masterclass within it
It is impossible ever to listen Beethoven’s symphony 7 without thinking about the king’s speech
I associate it with Mr. Holland's Opus first. Older movie after all.
To display an speech impediment without make it fake and a joke, but to show it like a battle that demands bravery and inmense effort, is almost impossible. But colin firth did it, he controled every fear, doubt, gag, breath, the tone, you can hear the panic in his voice, you can see the anxiety in his eyes. And most important, you have on a close up colin firth, no prostetic, no makeup, no wig. Is him yet you forget him, cause you are watching the king talking.
Firth was too old, and looked and sounded nothing like George VI.
Very well put 🎉-quite a movie
True too😊
I am not a big royalist however you have to admire how 1 person faced up to thier fears so dratically by speaking to the empire of 1/4 of the world!
What a wonderful scene, made so dramatic and vivid by Colin Firth's acting and the musical crescendo. Just fantastic.
very powerful and emotionally gripping for any person who is challenged by any defects.. as most of us are, no one is born perfect..
I know this won the major Oscars that year (writing, directing, acting (Firth) and Best Picture), but this movie and scene don't get enough credit and recognition as the masterpiece it is.
@lagowns It's a matter of PR. It was a moment in the war when Germany had conquered western Europe and, as far as the British knew, there was every possiblity that they might be invaded. Back then, people (rightly or wrongly) had more respect for the royals, and a successful speech from the king could have been a great boost to morale. There had been a crisis in government (Chamberlain's resignation and Churchill's appointment as PM) and somebody at the top needed to say something encouraging.
In this grave hour, perhaps the most fateful in our history, I send to every household of my peoples, both at home and overseas, this message, spoken with the same depth of feeling for each one of you as if I were able to cross your threshold and speak to you myself.
For the second time in the lives of most of us we are at war. Over and over again we have tried to find a peaceful way out of the differences between ourselves and those who are now our enemies. But it has been in vain. We have been forced into a conflict. For we are called, with our allies, to meet the challenge of a principle which, if it were to prevail, would be fatal to any civilised order in the world.
It is the principle which permits a state, in the selfish pursuit of power, to disregard its treaties and its solemn pledges; which sanctions the use of force, or threat of force, against the sovereignty and independence of other states.
Such a principle, stripped of all disguise, is surely the mere primitive doctrine that might is right; and if this principle were established throughout the world, the freedom of our own country and of the whole British Commonwealth of Nations would be in danger. But far more than this - the peoples of the world would be kept in the bondage of fear, and all hopes of settled peace and of the security of justice and liberty among nations would be ended.
This is the ultimate issue which confronts us. For the sake of all that we ourselves hold dear, and of the world’s order and peace, it is unthinkable that we should refuse to meet the challenge.
It is to this high purpose that I now call my people at home and my peoples across the seas, who will make our cause their own. I ask them to stand calm, firm, and united in this time of trial. The task will be hard. There may be dark days ahead, and war can no longer be confined to the battlefield. But we can only do the right as we see the right, and reverently commit our cause to God.
If one and all we keep resolutely faithful to it, ready for whatever service or sacrifice it may demand, then, with God’s help, we shall prevail.
May He bless and keep us all.”
Beethoven, Symphony No 7, II
This song will always represent long struggle to me.
Also recognized it in Mr. Robot immediately!
@lagowns Well it wasn't a constant anxiety of british people of course..but it is interesting to see how a rich monarch, as you describe him, fought with his inability to speak and won it for his people.
George VI wasn't a rich monarch... he was a man who cared for his people and his nation, who knew what his duty was, he was a Man.
When other rich monarchs got away from their countries (Savoia in Italy) when there were air raids he remained at his people's side.
This was George VI: a great king
I have seen this many times but in still anxious forbhin everytime
The speech is great, but Beethoven makes it awesome. 7 Symphony, 2nd movement, "Allegretto". A rare jewel.
Thank you to His Royal Highness King George vi 💖💖💖
The speech is as relevant today as then, how Britain stood up to a bully fighting the principal of "might is right"
The 2nd movement of the 7th simphony by Ludwig van Beethoven.
A piece of cinema❤️
@lagowns because this monarchs was the symbol of resistance during WW2 he traveled around London, and talked to his Citizens , how many rich monarchs can you name that did this during the most horrible war in human history?
I wish Britain had that kind of kings and queens.
Best scene in the movie? Probably.
@sr3881234 well no the problem is everyone's opinion is being influenced from all the wrong places, not that they are voicing them!
I wonder what part of the the speech they cut for the movie. I am noticing here on TH-cam that the real speech lasted 5:45, but this lasts 4:49.
It's just a couple of lines to tighten the pacing, which is pretty impressive for historical drama. You can find the full script online easily enough. The substance of the speech is here on screen.
I am not a huge fan of The King's Speech (I thought it was a decent film, nothing more) but I have to admit that this scene is fantastic.
what is the music? Please, answere me
Lol Play a german symphony while declaring war against Germany.
the character also had a German bloodline and was speaking a Germanic influenced language. you misunderstand, we never went to war against Germany, we went to war against the NAZIS. Germany was only a victim of NAZI leadership, as was some parts of France, Italy and Norway
You dispatch wisdom, sir.
thank you
Yanzhao Yang x
All I could think of was War Thunder if you have heard of that game.
@muichal I agree that that's an absolutely brilliant scene, but I don't think A Single Man really works as a whole. All the performances are great, especially Firth, but I don't think Tom Ford is really a director. That phone scene is absolutely heartbreaking, but it's fairly early on and by the end of the film it had worn off and I felt a bit unmoved. That's the director's fault, or the story's.
Symphony. Sorry.
Well, GB was not the brave noble knight or so in neither of the "world wars"...
2:20
Did I just see Peter Pedigrew?
Yes, as Churchill.
why was he way too sad?
loendsti Britain is going to war.
If there was ever a time when an actor's career can be defined in 5 minutes and recognizes him as one of the all time greats whose legacy will live long beyond his passing, this scene immortalizes the actor that is Colin Firth who will be remembered long after we are gone.
RIP and long live King George VI (December 14, 1895 - February 6, 1952), aged 56
And
RIP and long live Dr. Lionel Logue (February 26, 1880 - April 12, 1953), aged 73
You both will always be remembered as legends.
I love the use of Beethoven’s 7th symphony in this scene.
Colin Firth is such an amazing actor. Hard to belive any one could have done the samt as him in this scene.
I'm so sick of so-called republicans and people in general diminishing this man's worth just because he happened to be crowned king. I'm not a royalist by any means, but I am quite able to see beyond a surname or a job. His struggles, his awful childhood, the bullying he suffered, his shyness, and ultimately his worst nightmare coming true, because that's what the crown was to him, no matter how blessed we see him. My deepest respect and admiration.
Well said
The King's Speech should be shown as a double feature with Hyde Park on Hudson, which tells of the weekend King George and Queen Elizabeth spent at FDR's country estate. The King was there to try to persuade the American president to help the British war effort. There's a great scene where they are talking, and drinking, alone and the kings says "Damn this stutter !" and FDR replies "Damn this polio !"
😂😢well at least the Détail could stand down>>>
When Winston stayed in the White House after the declaration of war by the Führer till mid January'42 FDR was in -the not so imaginary-danger of having his liver poisened.
Churchill on the other hand survived the -well meant-self made cocktails of the president😂
I would have loved being a fly on the wall there as during the Führers Gespräche mit Von Manstein Rommel und Model in die Wolfschanze.
Great rebuke😂😢.
Often greatness and suffering go perfectly hand in hand.
Beethoven Symphony No.7, Movement 2
enjoy..
Conductor Terry Davis
"Why did they use a German symphony for a scene with England declaring war on Germany?" Who the fuck cares? Music doesn't belong to just one country, one nation, one people. It crosses all boundaries. It belongs to everyone.
I think I could watch this movie a thousand times and not grow tired of it! Thank you for posting his speech. Colin Firth richly deserves the oscar!

この映画好き。誰だって知られたくない。でも人間は話さなきゃ生きていけん生活できん。手話もそう。話せるし意識が通じるのに、ほんの少し、どもりがあったり、つっかえたり。この映画はちっぽけな人間の、強さ、を教えてくれる。
I really didn't know that king george had a stutter till I seen this movie.
I've got a stutter myself. I really couldn't imagine trying to be the head monarch with it.
Colin Firth is a fantastic actor.
I always joke about stuttering. Like it's a vocal beat box that you can't control lol. Like every word you say hits a speed bump and you can't control the movement.
Epic movie!
That period of royalty (the death of King George V, the abdication of King Edward VIII, and the crowning of King George VI) is outweighed in the history books by the two World Wars that happened at the same time. As much as they tried to keep it out of the media and away from public knowledge, Edward's relations with Wallis Simpson was well-known. Bertie was made to do speeches publicly, despite his stammer, and, of course, it came out whenever he was talking. The fact that Germany invaded Poland just beat it out of the history books - otherwise, in my opinion, I think it would've ended up there.
With all due respect that wasn't a stutter, was a a complete and utter block damn that he got, out the other end of it that goes for you too buddy I had one of them too it still comes back, it must be, I Claudius it's what you have to say that counts, not how long you take to say it
In the person of the King, devotion to duty became sublime and heroic.
This is such an amazing scene. The struggles of the King - an extraordinary man with equally extraordinary will to change for his people - speaks to me on many different levels.
He's the quintessential hero Americans can relate to. An ordinary man with greatness thrust upon him who manages to rise to the occasion.
Hardly ordinary. His father was the king of England.
TheKyle 1591 : Yes, but in himself, as a man, not a king, he was just an ordinary person. He had a strong sense of duty - which his glamorous brother lacked - and a great deal of quiet courage, shown in this scene. Public speaking would always be an ordeal for him, but he did it.
You're talking about Chruchill, right ?
@@McGenest churchill is apart of the Lord's. Try again
the build up to this scene was sick, i was actually really sweating in my palms of anticipation ! long time since any movie had me that engaged!
everyone said he is shy and weak.
But he make breakthrough himself and he stayed with his British people in Buckingham palace during WW2.
even the german bombs had been dropped onto the yard that is right ahead the palace.
He is strong and brave I think.
Helena Bonham-Carter is a national treasure
She also looks like she smells like pee
@@jtown2317 slightly insulting but somehow understandable
Did you know I’m Harry Potter Helena Bonham Carter started dating I forgot his name Defense against the dark arts person in chamber of secrets and he was married to the illusion woman
@@izzy-ux1yq yes I believe I read somewhere that the directors tried to make sure that Helena Bonham Carter and Emma Thompson didn’t meet on set so there wouldn’t be any problems. Also the teachers name was “Professor”Lockhart and illusion woman was Trelawney
such a great scene..
The part i like is when you see his mother and she has a proud look on her.
What I truly liked were the shots of the various people of all different stations in life poised listening to the broadcast. It emphasized the private and public nature of this speech--the declaration of war, one that prophesied to be protracted, heinous and horrific. The king's difficulties aside, it is never easy to speak or listen to such words; they should be spoken with pain yet persevered with courage. Such qualities were perfectly embodied in Firth's performance.
Que discurso más impresionante. Considerado como uno de los 10 discursos más relevantes de la Historia, marcaba el inicio de la peor guerra que ha sufrido la humanidad y la capacidad de Jorge VI de transmitir el sentimiento de tragedia que representaba y el coraje necesario a su pueblo para superarla, es admirable (independientemente de haber superado su tartamudez, su complejo y sus limitaciones).
Y SU HIJA ISABEL II SIGUIO SUS PASOS
1:23 someone bring that poor man another pint.
From IMDB: "[Beethoven's music] was slightly altered to suit the movie, by mimicking the King's speech patterns: the immediate repetition of the movement's opening woodwind chord is a "musical stammer" similar to the King's stutter; the tempo is slow...and the silences between the musical phrases are lengthened...These alterations communicate the King's progression from a nervous start to a confident, flowing delivery."
Genius.
At the very moment of the free world's greatest peril, this king and his prime minister stood squarely and resolutely with their people, forward-facing and into the breach. It made much more than a little difference to the outcome of their struggle. The difference it in fact did make is evidenced in nothing less than the preservation of the freedom of the generations who have followed. God bless this courageous and selfless king and prime minister. And God bless this king's equally courageous and formidable daughter Elizabeth as she now marks 70 years on the throne, resolute in her faithfulness to her people around the globe, forever loyal to her oath as protector of the realm, an oath she has consistently honored as sacred. Sadly, my sense is that only when she passes will the world truly come to appreciate all that she has done to cultivate our individual identities as free people, just as her father and mother did before her.
This is such a powerful and elevated scene. Being aware of his obstacles and that he's going to resist III Reich's nazism allied with USSR's communism then, he did not give up and worked hard to overcome them.
It appears even more amazing if you realize that one year later, when all of the british allies were defeated (France and Poland), the British Empire had to face one of the most mighty air force in the world (Luftwaffe), good navy (Kriegsmarine) and probably best ground army in the world then (Wehrmacht), still allied with USSR, Italy and Japan. Moreover, it had to stand their ground almost completely alone, as USA wasn't engaged in the global conflict yet.
Thanks Heavens there were people with very strong will like Churchill and George VI, who had no doubt they were facing the evil and could not have been easily manipulated neither by british nazism followers and supporters nor by capitulants. Thanks God, there were british, polish, czech, french, australian, southamerican, hindi, canadian and other nations regular soldiers and volunteers who risked their lives or gave their lives to stop that evil. Thanks God there were english, polish and french mathematicians as well as Alan Turing's team who broke the code of Enigma.
Without them the imperial natural resources and being-island-handicap would not be enough to win that war. This is for me the proof of God's existence and the faith in humanity.
Thank you for mentioning all the other nationalities allied with Britain at the time. They also deserve recognition.
Well done, your Majesty.
One of the best movies ever. Powerful. Emotionally impacting.
the background music acompanies perfectly
God Save the King!!!
Kinda sad that Logic would later lose his wife towards the end of the war and King George’s health suffered greatly during the war.
Bawling My Eyes Out right now!
The Symphony No.7 in A Major is well put. The Acting in this movie is simply great.
RIP Queen Elizabeth, 9/8/2022
A story of overcoming your fears and friendship
Well, this is weird. I have War Thunder tabbed atm and the song in the background of this video is in the game as well.
its the same song, Beethoven - Symphony No.7 in A major op.92 - ll, Allegretto.
Used in many movies!
The music fit the mood off the scene...any "irony" was most likely incidental and not purposeful.
There are no accidents like this in professional movies.
They knew exactly what music they were choosing.
Sean Renon There’s no way to know, of course. And I can’t speak for him. Certainly not centuries after his death. But I admire Beethoven too much to think that he would be anything less than appalled at what his future countrymen allowed to happen. And would gladly have lent his music in opposition to it had he known.
Sean Renon Beethoven believed in the brotherhood of mankind. Hence ode to joy.
Great scene of great movie and Beethoven’s 7th Symphony on the background makes the difference.
Beethoven’s 7th Symphony was a perfect choice.
What cracks me up was Churchill wasn't even a supporter of King George.
While it's true that Churchill supported David, at King George VI's Coronation, Churchill turned to is wife and said, "You were right," referring to her support of Bertie as King.
A lot of folks are wondering about the German symphony being played here and these characters were against Germany. I think the director was trying to present an ironic reality which exists today. Germany is now one of many countries worldwide that is a part of the United Nations. I don't know a whole lot on the UN but the idea is to basically have countries co-operate with one another by all aspects of their existence as possible. The UN started in 1945 so it makes sense to me at least.
I wouldn't forget, if I'm not mistaken, the common ancestry of the British royalty with German nobility.. the conta-position is that Beethoven did not write as a member of a noble household but as a free citizen!
Jesse King George VI was a Windsor, that means that he's technically a member of the Saxo-Coburg and Gotha house, from germany. so.....
Jesse King it’s not German. Beethoven was Austrian.
@@MarlboroughBlenheim1 Beethoven was German :D
@@zaltaire yep. Sorry!
Alexandre Desplat asked for the collaboration of the award-winning conductor Terry Davis, who took care of the final pieces of the soundtrack, performing the Symphony No. 7 (2nd Movement in King's speech) and the Concerto for piano and orchestra n. 5 by Beethoven.
Cno nandito Para pang answer sa module😂😂
@Shangas: He looks a lot like the George VI: Tall, narrow, British gentleman with squarish face. He sounds even more like George VI; there are videos on TH-cam comparing them and this speech, in particular. He gets it down almost exactly - for instance the way they both mispronounce "a peaceful a-way out" and the odd way in which they both say "do the right as we see the right."
Clearly the actor listened to the recording of the actual speech and imitated the king's characteristics.
This is a scene that shows some of our problems to others are small. But to us, it’s like climbing a mountain. If it means something, congrats to you.
I have seen colin firth in other movies i found him a great actor but when i saw the king's speech It confirmed my first judgement completely
I deleted three comments.
One can appreciate or not the Firth's portrait of George VI but I will not tolerate insults or nasty comments about the person Colin Firth.
You don't like it, well it's your right but saying that he deserves horrible illnesses it's a stupid, immature and a paltry thing.
That's why I deleted the comments...
My God I used to have one of them, what a bloody good job he did getting over it, here I am a republican but God save the King
I think there were better overall films that year (The Social Network comes to mind). But I also consider this to be one of the greatest cinema scenes of the decade.
englandfootball8 Great writing, editing, cinematography, music and acting. I thought it was a superb film.
J.J. Villarreal one of my favorites until i saw this movie i did not know much about him. i started to read about him and found out how interesting he was and how strong the queen mother was. great movie
+J.J. Villarreal Dude, the social network is NOT on the same level as the King's Speech... It's like saying the Avengers was better than Schindler's List...
+Son Of Montreal They're very different films. Their purpose, tone and craft is different, and my thought of The Social Network's superiority is based on personal taste. Black Swan, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and Inception were also released that year, and I also enjoyed them more than The King's Speech. That's the subjectivity of cinema. My two cents.
Your two cents are my two cents as well. The Social Network was a masterpiece when it comes to the script. Aaron Sorkin has always been the best screenplay writter on the scene. The music was also terrific.
Every movie has a best part...
@smileandlaughalot Maybe because the Figther had better supporting roles than the king speech. However the performance of Rush was quite good.
What is that piece of classical music playing in that scene? I want to listen to it! 😊👂🏾
Machabe Leloka Beethoven 7th symphony
7th symphony second movement by the god Ludwig van Beethoven.
Another brilliance of the film is as a metaphor: This "flawed' individual, George VI, rose the occasion - just as the "flawed," messy democracies of the Allies (considered decadent and weak by the Axis) pulled together and beat the Nazi "supermen." George's speech impairment is the sort of "weakness" that the "supermen" would not tolerate. But the Allies' victory is a testament to the genius of tolerance, diversity and inclusiveness -- all qualities the Nazis detested.
Beethoven was such an excellent choice for the backdrop of this scene.
This speech was the equivalent of King George VI flipping the bird at Hitler despite his initial success in Europe.
I really thought that The Social Network should have won Best Picture, but there's no denying that this scene is just brilliant.
Why are they playing a Beethoven song?
@lagowns There's also the matter of human sympathy; sure, he was a king and he had a lot of money, but why does that mean that we automatically have to dislike him? He was, by anyone's standards, an incredibly hard-working and conscientious man. His brother Edward VIII was a rich, snobbish git who didn't care about anyone except himself; George VI worked himself into an early grave by being as public-spirited as possible (although a massive smoking habit didn't help.)
@clafitzy I won't blame Queen Wilhelmina that she flee to England. At least Georgie got some water between him and those who where than the enemy.
I love his speech nontheless :)
@KristianKronicles While this scene is great, I think the scene you are talking about should be the telephone call scene in A Single Man. That was Colin's finest hour yet.
Ironically, spoken to the tune of Beethoven in the background as the UK declares war on Germany.
@kapitandabac Speaking Unto Nations (Beethoven Symphony no 7 - II )
Honestly, I don't like how the movie depicted his speech.
It gave the impression that people were more focused on whether he was able to deliver the speech or not, rather than what the speech is about.
Las pausas en esta pelicula son más extensas que en el discurso original.
Y yo que pensaba que esto era un documental.
Just wondering, did any of Lionel's sons get sent to war? Was just rewatching the movie now and it'd only occurred to me during the scene where his family was listening to the radio about the war announcement that his boys might have had to serve in army. Poor boys if they did :(
Everybody's sons got sent to war.
A great scene.
my ONLY gripe, is that this entire movie, even its namesake, is about this speech, but they end up not doing the entire speech xD
With God's help...we shall prevail!
