The flick, The King's Speech, has bagged many awards including the Academy Awards for the best film and best actor. Many movie critics and blog authors have also acclaimed that this motion picture is the very best in this decade.
As a coach and a speaker; I would like to comment from the angle of speech making.
Fear of public speaking is the #1 fear, even ahead of death, cancer, coronary and mother-in-law. Stammering and stuttering "they're partly thanks to the terror in public speaking.
In the flick "The King's Speech," England's King George VI turns to Lionel Logue, an unorthodox Australian speech therapist, to beat his stammer. The two men become friends as they work together, and after his bro abdicates the English throne, the unwilling king relies on Logue to help him make a radio broadcast at the start of World War Two.
The tale is mental action and mental struggle, as when Albert (Bertie) struggles against his habits of thought to realise why he stammers. And when Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) explains how he came to comprehend the causes of stammering.
Of course, the important point of the show is "finding your voice." As speakers and trainers, we are always hunting for our voice.
I find it extraordinarily hard to find my voice. It's the desire of each speaker to find his/her voice. In the movie, Bertie has to find his voice to overcome his stammer and to assume the control of his dominion in dire need to win the war over Fascists Germany. Finally, King George VI (Bertie) delivers his address with full confidence. He finds his voice.
To find his voice; Bertie persists and persists and sometimes he has to ease back on his smoking which brings more harms to his speaking. In life, we've got to endure and persevere to succeed; particularly when we are on the lookout for our voice.
To find his voice; Bertie has to grasp the tool called radio; this technology becomes an obstacle to his voice. He must practice and rehearse in front of this particular tool in order to perfect the delivery. In this modern days; we have many new tools to help us to find our voice and such tools can be a barrier to speakers too.
During Presidential elections, many countries employ TV live debates for these candidates to show their knowledge and abilities in Statecraft. Another modern talking tool is teleprompter; a tool to help a speaker to see the script while speaking. The speaker must be instructed to learn the usage of this particular tool. Obama is the king of this particular tool. He employs it really efficiently and effectively.
During one scene, when George VI views a newsreel of Hitler giving one of his dramatic and grandiose speeches. Bertie acknowledges the Fuhrer's power as an orator, one that he could never hope to match. No matter; the power of the King's speech was not in a mellifluous delivery, but in a message of promise and grit and comradeship with the English folks in their hour of need. In speech making, body language, intonation, and the power of the tone "they are important but ultimately it is the message that touches the hearts and souls of the listeners.
I inspire folks who have fear in public speaking; people who aspire to be public speakers and members of toastmasters circle to observe this motion picture. This film is a rare gemstone, not to be missed.
