The king speech

            The epic events inspired the Oscar-tipped film, “The king’s speech”. The king speech is a British movie which written by David Seidler and directed by Tom Hooper.  Colin Firth plays King George VI and Lionel Logue, an Australian therapist played by Geoffrey Rush.  This movie show about a real story of king George VI who born as a stammer.  There are many forms of irony verbal; dramatic and so on but the one that surely applied to King George VI was the irony of fate.  He could not pronounce even the letter ‘k’.  Elizabeth who was his wife, had try every ways to her husband to overcome with his stammer.  Once, King George VI had a speech in the 1925 British Empire Exhibition at Wembley Stadium but he could not come up with his well and stammering speech visibly unsettles the thousands of listeners in the audience.  He felt to his self that if god were amusing themselves by toying with his mind, mocking his failing, reminding him that he was very much a mortal.  He had met many traditional court doctors with their antiquated methods, such as filling the sufferer’s mouth with marbles, but to no avail. At first, he had decided to give up everything until the duchess persuaded him to see Lionel Logue who was an Australian speech therapist in London.
