"The King's Speech"(2010)

I’ve just seen the most touching movie of my entire life and it is “ The King’s speech”, a British one! It confirms my all time long admiration for British work and activities, culture and customs,  language and music, etc. I just love Great Britain, London, British literature and British actors. I won’t make a list just right now because I don’t want to lose the point: Colin Firth and the “ The King”s speech”. So, first of all, I’m a monarchist in a world in which people believe in democracy. I firmly believe that as we have only one God, we must have only one ruler, a king, a person which knows what value has the word ‘duty”, which is educated to serve the people, to respect and love his nation and to sacrifice f or it. Please, don’t tell me that a president is such a kind of person, cause I can’t believe you.

 Tom Hopper’s movie starts in a way that made me cry of despair: I’ve never felt such an emphaty with someone put in a horrible situation and I honestly believe that it takes a lot of courage to survive after such a public humiliation( in front of a stadium full of people). I see a man, his heart beating with such a force that almost broke his chest, able to leave the place in all the pieces of his being. I’ve never admirread a man like I admired Bertie. Can you imagine a man who don’t want to be a king even when his relatives and friends told him that he must? Can you imagine a man with such a morality? And can you imagine him striving to rise up to the height of this call: being the king  which has to replace the charming David, loved by the people, that so easy judge the surface to be the truth?

O.K. I was conquered by the real King George VI, by his wife, Queen Elisabeth, and by their daughters, Elisabeth and Margaret. The image of the happy royal family seduced me. I even accepted Helen Bonham Carter, which is not one of my favorite actress, for this part as the loving, suporting wife of Bertie. Knowing how hard is to mentain a loving relationship, I am quite impressed by them. I’ve seen a documentary film on King George VI and I know that the movie doesn’t lie. I found out that they were religious people and I understood everything. Remember the family of the Martyr Tzar Nikolaj  and you will see the power of the Christian faith.

My favorite scenes: Bertie crying and telling his wife that he doesn’t want to be a king; Bertie leaving the Radio broadcast studio and received by everybody with love and respect, King George and his daughters saluting him with all the etiquette required at the royal court.
