King's Speech

Now this is the second good movie of the year 2011. I finally know why the BAFTA awards go to this movie. Splendid work! Classic work!

The script is marvellous. Short and simple, easy to understand.

This being a British script, I thought can be conservative. But it is very revealing and direct. 

This is a great movie for motivational purpose and hypnotherapy together with NLP.

Firstly, the acting skills of Colin Firth and the former "Pirate of Carribbean" Capt Barbossa were fantastic.

The emotions portrayed were nice and apt.

Next, the context was kept relatively simple and clean. More on the heroic journey of King George VI. His transition becoming a king, the feelings of unworthiness as a king and his own handicap of stammering which was actually a mental handicap.

Once he surpassed it, it was brilliant. 

IT was more about self-confidence and the ability to self-trust.

More of a Enneagram Type 5 movie.

Painfully moving towards the dreams or the desired state. Bearing the brunt well, the shame and the ridicules from others.

Countless of tries, doctors of different pedigrees, hopes rose and fell. 

King George VI wants to escape but the reality and his wife hold him in check. He knew he had to overcome it no matter what.

Then he realise that nobody faults him for going to doctors or for trying. It is for his failure that he never tries again, making the situation remain the same that makes his people fault him.

No matter how stupid the exercises were, no matter what he has to sacrifice, his pride, his title, his royalty prestige, he stood by his decision to overcome his handicap.

He did what has to be done, even if it shamed him in front of his people due to his countless tries and still did not get rid of the stammer.

As he gets better, he confronted his source of mental handicap, his brother, Edward. Even with his handicap, he managed to lecture him on the importance of being a king. 

He bears with his handicap, treating it as a part of him. No matter what he does, his handicap did not stop him from becoming a good naval officer or getting himself a wife whom has rejected his marriage proposal twice.

Makes my heart wrenches.

A touching story indeed.
