Summary:
 This movie takes place in England about 1936.
Berthie, the King George V's son, was stammer. He tried to fight against his disease but no therapist managed to help him. After the death of his father, his brother David was crowned King Edward VIII. But David was in love of a divorced woman so he could not marry her. He decided to give up his function to lives with her. Then the scandalous abdication of his brother, Berthie was suddenly crowned King George VI of England. His country was in the brink of war and desperatly needs a leader. His wife, Elizabeth, the future Queen Mother, took him to an eccentric speech therapist, Lionel Logue. After a rough start, They delve into an unorthodox course of treatement et became closes friends. With the support of his family, Lionel, Winston Churchill and his governement, he overcomed his stammer and deliver a radio- adress that inspires his people and unites them in battle.






My opinion:
As for me, this movie is very interesting because it is the real stories of the Kings of England. Moreover, in this film, we do not see the life of the Kings but the men and it is very touching. I had a lot of compassion for this brave man who fighting against his handicap with the support of his wife, his daughters and Logue.
