The King s Speech
|
| 00:01:39 |
You are live in two minutes, |
| 00:01:44 |
Sir? |
| 00:01:50 |
Thank you. |
| 00:01:55 |
Let the microphone do the work, Sir. |
| 00:01:59 |
I'm sure you will be splendid. |
| 00:02:15 |
Time to go. |
| 00:02:23 |
Good afternoon. |
| 00:02:25 |
This is the BBC National |
| 00:02:29 |
taking you to Wembley Stadium |
| 00:02:34 |
where His Royal Highness the Duke of York |
| 00:02:39 |
His Majesty, King George V. |
| 00:02:42 |
Fifty eight British Colonies and Dominions |
| 00:02:46 |
making this the largest Exhibition |
| 00:02:49 |
Remember Sir, three flashes. |
| 00:02:53 |
Using the new invention of radio, |
| 00:02:56 |
the opening ceremony was the first time |
| 00:02:59 |
addressed his subjects |
| 00:03:02 |
At the close of the first season, |
| 00:03:04 |
The heir to the throne, His Royal Highness |
| 00:03:09 |
And today, |
| 00:03:14 |
the Duke of York will give his |
| 00:04:24 |
I have received... |
| 00:04:34 |
from his Majesty....th... th... |
| 00:04:48 |
th... |
| 00:04:51 |
th... |
| 00:04:56 |
...the King. |
| 00:05:02 |
a... |
| 00:05:11 |
a... |
| 00:05:23 |
Inhale deep into your lungs. |
| 00:05:29 |
Relaxes your larynx, does it not? |
| 00:05:32 |
Cigarette smoking calms the nerves |
| 00:05:38 |
Now, if Your Highness will be very kind as |
| 00:05:52 |
It's sterilized. One... |
| 00:05:54 |
two... |
| 00:05:56 |
three, four, five... |
| 00:06:01 |
six, seven. |
| 00:06:04 |
Now, if I may take the liberty. |
| 00:06:06 |
Insert them into your mouth. |
| 00:06:10 |
Excuse me, Doctor. |
| 00:06:12 |
It's the classic approach, |
| 00:06:17 |
That was in Ancient Greece...uh |
| 00:06:18 |
Has it worked since? |
| 00:06:22 |
Now, |
| 00:06:26 |
A Wealth of Words. |
| 00:06:35 |
Fight against those marbles, |
| 00:06:41 |
Enunciate! |
| 00:06:46 |
A little more concentration |
| 00:06:54 |
I nearly swallowed |
| 00:06:55 |
Thank you so much, Doctor, |
| 00:06:58 |
its been most...hmm |
| 00:07:02 |
Your Royal Highness. |
| 00:07:06 |
Insert marbles! |
| 00:07:07 |
He can insert his own bloody marbles! |
| 00:07:16 |
Tick, tock, tick, tock. |
| 00:07:21 |
You know, |
| 00:07:26 |
I know. |
| 00:07:31 |
Promise me... |
| 00:07:34 |
Promise me no more. |
| 00:09:04 |
Hello. |
| 00:09:07 |
Im just in the loo. |
| 00:09:19 |
Ah, Mrs.Johnson |
| 00:09:23 |
Im sorry I don't have a receptionist. |
| 00:09:25 |
Poor and content |
| 00:09:28 |
Sorry? |
| 00:09:33 |
How do you do? |
| 00:09:35 |
Troughing along. |
| 00:09:36 |
Now, this is slightly awkward, |
| 00:09:41 |
Yes, |
| 00:09:43 |
Wheres Mr Johnson? |
| 00:09:44 |
He doesnt know Im here. |
| 00:09:47 |
Thats not a very promising start. |
| 00:09:50 |
No. |
| 00:09:52 |
No, look, umm... |
| 00:09:53 |
My husband has seen everyone to no avail. |
| 00:09:58 |
He hasnt seen me. |
| 00:09:59 |
You're awfully sure of yourself. |
| 00:10:01 |
Well, |
| 00:10:04 |
Of course, he wants to be cured. |
| 00:10:05 |
My husband is, umm.. |
| 00:10:08 |
he's required to speak publicly. |
| 00:10:10 |
Perhaps he should change jobs. |
| 00:10:12 |
He cant. |
| 00:10:14 |
Indentured servitude? |
| 00:10:16 |
Something of that nature, yes. |
| 00:10:20 |
Well, we need to have your hubby pop by... |
| 00:10:22 |
Uh..Tuesday would be good... |
| 00:10:25 |
He can give me his personal details and |
| 00:10:30 |
Doctor, forgive me. |
| 00:10:31 |
I don't have a hubby. |
| 00:10:34 |
and nor do we ever talk about our private lives. |
| 00:10:37 |
No, you... must come to us. |
| 00:10:40 |
I'm sorry, Mrs Johnson, |
| 00:10:43 |
You'll have to talk this over this with your husband |
| 00:10:48 |
Thank you very much for dropping by. |
| 00:10:56 |
And what if my husband were the Duke of York? |
| 00:10:57 |
The Duke of York? |
| 00:10:59 |
Yes... |
| 00:11:13 |
I thought the appointment was for Johnson. |
| 00:11:16 |
...Royal Highness. |
| 00:11:18 |
Johnson was used during the Great War, |
| 00:11:20 |
when the Navy didnt want the enemy |
| 00:11:23 |
Am I considered the enemy? |
| 00:11:25 |
You will be, |
| 00:11:29 |
You will appreciate the need for absolute discretion. |
| 00:11:32 |
Of course. |
| 00:11:34 |
How did you find me, your Royal Highness? |
| 00:11:37 |
The President of the Society of Speech Therapists. |
| 00:11:40 |
Eileen McCleod? |
| 00:11:43 |
She warned me your antipodean methods |
| 00:11:48 |
I warned her |
| 00:11:52 |
I can cure your husband. But for my |
| 00:11:57 |
Here, in the safety of my consultation room. |
| 00:12:02 |
No exceptions. |
| 00:12:05 |
Oh well, in that case... |
| 00:12:15 |
When can you start? |
| 00:12:26 |
She still sounds a little bit rough, mate. |
| 00:12:28 |
You make me drive too slowly, Dad! |
| 00:12:29 |
Did you pick mum up from bridge? |
| 00:12:31 |
Yes, Ive hardly been out of the car all day. |
| 00:12:33 |
I had a special visitor this afternoon. |
| 00:12:37 |
May I please leave this table |
| 00:12:39 |
No, you must stay bored stupid and listen to your |
| 00:12:43 |
Thanks Dad. |
| 00:12:45 |
Me too. |
| 00:12:47 |
No, someone else. |
| 00:12:51 |
Doctor? Doctor? |
| 00:12:54 |
Go and help |
| 00:12:55 |
Im fine. |
| 00:12:57 |
Who is it Lionel? |
| 00:12:58 |
Why bring it up |
| 00:13:02 |
Myrtle, it's just a woman |
| 00:13:06 |
Oh, and I had a call |
| 00:13:08 |
for an audition. |
| 00:13:10 |
One of my favorites. |
| 00:13:13 |
It could be a lot of fun. |
| 00:13:15 |
I'm sure you'll be splendid. |
| 00:13:17 |
In the amateur scene |
| 00:13:21 |
From Putney. |
| 00:13:24 |
Tomorrow, Chapter IV: |
| 00:13:26 |
But, Mama, I long to know where they fly to... |
| 00:13:29 |
Oh, I can't wait! |
| 00:13:31 |
Arent they lucky! |
| 00:13:34 |
Now Papa tell a story! |
| 00:13:40 |
Couldn't I be a penguin instead? |
| 00:13:45 |
Now I want to hear a penguin story. |
| 00:13:52 |
Very quickly. |
| 00:13:57 |
Once, there were two princesses... |
| 00:14:00 |
Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret. |
| 00:14:03 |
whose Papa was a penguin. |
| 00:14:08 |
This was because he'd been |
| 00:14:13 |
This was very |
| 00:14:19 |
to hold his princesses in his arms... |
| 00:14:21 |
but you cant if you're a penguin because you... |
| 00:14:24 |
you don't have wings like herrings |
| 00:14:26 |
Herrings dont have wings. |
| 00:14:29 |
Penguins have wings |
| 00:14:36 |
And what made matters worse... |
| 00:14:37 |
is that she sent him to the South Pole, |
| 00:14:41 |
which is an awfully long walk back... |
| 00:14:45 |
if you cant fly. |
| 00:14:47 |
So when he reached the water, |
| 00:14:49 |
he dived in through the depths, so fast... |
| 00:14:52 |
that he was in Southampton |
| 00:14:55 |
And from there, |
| 00:14:59 |
changed at Clapham Junction, asked |
| 00:15:06 |
He swam up the Thames, |
| 00:15:09 |
and gave the cook, |
| 00:15:10 |
Mama and Mrs Whittaker quite a shock. |
| 00:15:14 |
Now when the girls heard all the commotions, |
| 00:15:17 |
they ran to the kitchen where |
| 00:15:21 |
a mackerel and a kiss. |
| 00:15:24 |
And as they kissed him, |
| 00:15:27 |
guess what he turned in to? |
| 00:15:29 |
A handsome prince. |
| 00:15:31 |
A short-tailed albatross. |
| 00:15:33 |
With wings so big |
| 00:15:36 |
that he could wrap them both around |
| 00:15:41 |
Now, girls... time for bed. |
| 00:15:44 |
And take those horses to the stable? |
| 00:15:47 |
Good night. |
| 00:15:52 |
Will Mrs Simpson be there? |
| 00:15:53 |
My brothers insisting. |
| 00:15:56 |
Is this serious? |
| 00:16:00 |
About her coming to dinner? |
| 00:16:02 |
No. About her! |
| 00:16:06 |
A married woman? He cant be. |
| 00:16:08 |
She can. |
| 00:16:10 |
By the way, I think I found someone |
| 00:16:13 |
On Harley Street. A doctor. |
| 00:16:15 |
Out of the question. |
| 00:16:17 |
Im not having this conversation again. |
| 00:16:20 |
His approach seems rather different.... |
| 00:16:26 |
Now? |
| 00:16:28 |
Now. |
| 00:16:37 |
Now is the winter of our discontent, |
| 00:16:39 |
Made glorious summer |
| 00:16:44 |
And all the clouds |
| 00:16:47 |
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. |
| 00:16:50 |
Now are our brows, |
| 00:16:55 |
Thank you! |
| 00:16:59 |
Lovely diction Mr...? |
| 00:17:01 |
Logue. Lionel Logue. |
| 00:17:03 |
Well, Mr. Logue. |
| 00:17:06 |
I'm not hearing the cries of a deformed |
| 00:17:11 |
Nor did I realize Richard the Third |
| 00:17:20 |
I do know all the lines. |
| 00:17:23 |
Sydney? |
| 00:17:25 |
Major theater town, is it? |
| 00:17:28 |
Enthusiastic. |
| 00:17:30 |
Ah. |
| 00:17:35 |
Yes... |
| 00:17:39 |
I think our dramatic society, |
| 00:17:43 |
is looking for someone slightly younger |
| 00:17:50 |
a little more regal. |
| 00:18:03 |
No, you have to shut that one first. |
| 00:18:05 |
Close that one first? |
| 00:18:10 |
Where did you find this... physician? |
| 00:18:12 |
Classifieds, |
| 00:18:13 |
next to French model, |
| 00:18:16 |
He comes highly recommended. |
| 00:18:18 |
Charges substantial fees |
| 00:18:20 |
Oh dear, |
| 00:18:26 |
There's no receptionist. |
| 00:18:31 |
Hmmm... The Johnsons. |
| 00:18:46 |
You can go in now, Mr. Johnson. |
| 00:18:49 |
Lionel says... |
| 00:18:51 |
wait here if you wish, Mrs Johnson. |
| 00:18:54 |
Or, it being a... |
| 00:18:59 |
pleasant day, |
| 00:19:04 |
p-perhaps take a stroll. |
| 00:19:09 |
Was that all right, Lionel? |
| 00:19:15 |
Marvelous! Willy. |
| 00:19:20 |
Mrs Johnson... |
| 00:19:22 |
Mr Johnson, do come in. |
| 00:19:44 |
Relax, sweetie. |
| 00:19:46 |
Hes a good lad, Willy. |
| 00:19:47 |
He could hardly make a sound, you know, |
| 00:20:00 |
My boys made those. |
| 00:20:03 |
Please make yourself comfortable. |
| 00:20:22 |
I was told not to sit too close. |
| 00:20:32 |
Well I believe when speaking with a Prince, |
| 00:20:34 |
one waits for the prince to choose the topic. |
| 00:20:43 |
Waiting for me to... |
| 00:20:47 |
a conversation .. |
| 00:21:00 |
Do you know any jokes? |
| 00:21:08 |
Timing isnt my strong suit. |
| 00:21:13 |
Cup of tea? |
| 00:21:15 |
No, thank you. |
| 00:21:17 |
I think I'll have one. |
| 00:21:31 |
Arent you going to start treating me, |
| 00:21:34 |
Only if youre interested in being treated. |
| 00:21:37 |
Please, |
| 00:21:43 |
I prefer Doctor. |
| 00:21:45 |
I prefer Lionel. |
| 00:21:49 |
Your Royal Highness. |
| 00:21:55 |
It's a little bit formal for here. |
| 00:21:59 |
Prince Albert... Frederick Arthur |
| 00:22:05 |
How about Bertie? |
| 00:22:11 |
Only my family uses that. |
| 00:22:12 |
Perfect. |
| 00:22:22 |
If we were equals I wouldnt be |
| 00:22:29 |
Id be at home with my wife |
| 00:22:31 |
and no one would give a damn. |
| 00:22:33 |
Please, dont do that. |
| 00:22:36 |
I'm sorry? |
| 00:22:37 |
I believe, sucking smoke |
| 00:22:41 |
My physicians say |
| 00:22:45 |
Theyre idiots. |
| 00:22:47 |
Theyve all been knighted. |
| 00:22:48 |
Makes it official then. |
| 00:22:53 |
My castle, my rules. |
| 00:22:59 |
Thank you. |
| 00:23:02 |
What was your earliest memory? |
| 00:23:05 |
What on earth do you mean? |
| 00:23:07 |
Your first recollection. |
| 00:23:08 |
I'm not... |
| 00:23:12 |
here to discuss personal matters. |
| 00:23:15 |
Why are you here then? |
| 00:23:16 |
Because I bloody well stammer! |
| 00:23:19 |
You have a bit of a temper? |
| 00:23:21 |
One of my many faults. |
| 00:23:24 |
When did the defect start? |
| 00:23:26 |
I've always been this way! |
| 00:23:27 |
I doubt that. |
| 00:23:28 |
Dont tell me! Its my stammer! |
| 00:23:32 |
Its my field. |
| 00:23:33 |
I can assure you, |
| 00:23:37 |
When did yours start? |
| 00:23:41 |
Four or five. |
| 00:23:42 |
That's typical. |
| 00:23:43 |
So Ive been told. |
| 00:23:46 |
I cant remember not doing it. |
| 00:23:48 |
I can believe that. Do you hesitate |
| 00:23:53 |
Dont be ridiculous. |
| 00:23:55 |
How about |
| 00:23:59 |
Everyone natters to themselves occasionally, Bertie. |
| 00:24:01 |
Stop calling me that! |
| 00:24:03 |
Im not going to call you anything |
| 00:24:05 |
Then we shant speak! |
| 00:24:22 |
Are you charging for this, Doctor? |
| 00:24:27 |
A fortune. |
| 00:24:35 |
I'll just let that brew. |
| 00:24:38 |
So, when you |
| 00:24:45 |
Of course not! |
| 00:24:46 |
Well, that proves your impediment isnt |
| 00:24:50 |
What do |
| 00:24:53 |
I don't know. |
| 00:24:56 |
I dont care! |
| 00:25:03 |
No one can fix it. |
| 00:25:04 |
I'll bet you that you can read |
| 00:25:08 |
And if I win the bet, |
| 00:25:12 |
And if I win? |
| 00:25:13 |
Then you dont have to answer. |
| 00:25:16 |
One usually... wagers money. |
| 00:25:19 |
A bob each to keep it sweet? |
| 00:25:21 |
Let's see your shilling? |
| 00:25:24 |
I dont... carry money. |
| 00:25:27 |
I had a funny feeling you mightnt. |
| 00:25:30 |
I'll stake you. |
| 00:25:33 |
Who says there is a next time? |
| 00:25:35 |
I havent agreed |
| 00:25:42 |
Please stand |
| 00:25:45 |
From there. |
| 00:25:51 |
I cant read this. |
| 00:25:54 |
Well, then you owe me a shilling |
| 00:26:10 |
To be... |
| 00:26:19 |
I cant read! |
| 00:26:22 |
I havent finished yet. |
| 00:26:33 |
Im going to record your voice and |
| 00:26:37 |
This is brilliant. |
| 00:26:38 |
Its the latest thing from America. |
| 00:26:54 |
Pop these on? |
| 00:26:58 |
Theres a bob in this, mate. You |
| 00:27:10 |
Youre playing music. |
| 00:27:12 |
So how can I hear what Im saying?! |
| 00:27:15 |
Surely a Princes brain knows what |
| 00:27:18 |
Youre not well acquainted with |
| 00:27:59 |
Hopeless. |
| 00:28:04 |
You were sublime. Would I lie to a |
| 00:28:09 |
Ive no idea what an Australian |
| 00:28:14 |
Let me play it back to you. |
| 00:28:17 |
No. |
| 00:28:18 |
All right then, |
| 00:28:21 |
Thank you, Doctor. |
| 00:28:22 |
I don't feel.. |
| 00:28:31 |
Thank you for your time. |
| 00:28:37 |
Sir? |
| 00:28:44 |
The recording is free. |
| 00:28:45 |
Please keep it as a souvenir. |
| 00:29:02 |
No. |
| 00:29:09 |
Oh, well. |
| 00:29:14 |
Bugger. |
| 00:29:20 |
For the present, the work to which |
| 00:29:23 |
is to arrive at a reasoned |
| 00:29:26 |
...within our borders, to regain |
| 00:29:34 |
and to carry with us those whom the |
| 00:29:42 |
To all, to each, |
| 00:29:45 |
I wish a Happy Christmas. |
| 00:29:57 |
Easy when you know how. |
| 00:29:59 |
Sir. |
| 00:30:08 |
Have a go yourself. |
| 00:30:09 |
Congratulations, Sir. |
| 00:30:11 |
Ah, Mr Wood. |
| 00:30:12 |
Splendid fellow. Chap taught me everything I know. |
| 00:30:19 |
Thank you. |
| 00:30:22 |
Sit up, |
| 00:30:23 |
face boldly up to the bloody thing |
| 00:30:27 |
as you would any decent Englishman. |
| 00:30:29 |
Show whos in command. |
| 00:30:30 |
Papa, I dont... |
| 00:30:34 |
This devilish device will change |
| 00:30:37 |
In the past all a King had to do was look |
| 00:30:42 |
Now we must invade peoples homes |
| 00:30:46 |
This family has been reduced to those lowest, |
| 00:30:51 |
weve become actors. |
| 00:30:53 |
Were not a family, |
| 00:30:56 |
Yet at any moment, |
| 00:30:59 |
Your darling brother, |
| 00:31:02 |
The only wife he appears interested in |
| 00:31:06 |
Hes broken off with Lady Furness. |
| 00:31:09 |
And taken up a Mrs Simpson, |
| 00:31:10 |
a woman |
| 00:31:12 |
I told him straight, |
| 00:31:17 |
He said |
| 00:31:21 |
I imagined that was because she was |
| 00:31:26 |
I give you my word... |
| 00:31:29 |
weve never had immoral relations. |
| 00:31:32 |
Stared square into his fathers face... |
| 00:31:36 |
When Im dead that boy will ruin |
| 00:31:41 |
Wholl pick up the pieces? |
| 00:31:43 |
Herr Hitler, intimidating half of Europe? |
| 00:31:47 |
Who will stand between us, the |
| 00:31:56 |
You? |
| 00:32:02 |
With your older brother shirking his duties, |
| 00:32:09 |
Have a go yourself. |
| 00:32:16 |
Through the... |
| 00:32:19 |
wireless... |
| 00:32:20 |
Get it out boy! |
| 00:32:21 |
one of the... marvels of... |
| 00:32:27 |
Modern. Just take your time. |
| 00:32:31 |
science, I am enabled... |
| 00:32:42 |
Just try it! |
| 00:32:44 |
this Christmas Day... |
| 00:32:48 |
to speak to all my... |
| 00:32:52 |
Do it! |
| 00:33:07 |
Lying... bastard. |
| 00:33:29 |
You're playing music. I know. |
| 00:33:31 |
So how can I hear what I'm saying? |
| 00:33:34 |
Surely a Princes brain knows what |
| 00:33:37 |
You're not well acquainted |
| 00:33:51 |
To be, or not to be, that is the question: |
| 00:33:54 |
...whether 'tis nobler in the mind |
| 00:34:01 |
Or to take arms against a sea of |
| 00:34:07 |
..to die... |
| 00:34:11 |
and by a sleep to say we end |
| 00:34:17 |
the flesh is heir to... |
| 00:34:21 |
Hopeless! Hopeless |
| 00:34:26 |
Strictly business. |
| 00:34:28 |
No... personal nonsense. |
| 00:34:32 |
I thought Id made that clear |
| 00:34:35 |
Have you got the shilling you owe me? |
| 00:34:37 |
No I havent! |
| 00:34:38 |
Didnt think so. |
| 00:34:40 |
Besides, |
| 00:34:43 |
Physical excercises and tricks are important... |
| 00:34:45 |
but what youre asking will only deal |
| 00:34:48 |
Well that's sufficient. |
| 00:34:50 |
No, as far as I see it, my husband... |
| 00:34:53 |
has mechanical difficulties with his speech. |
| 00:34:56 |
Maybe just deal with that. |
| 00:35:03 |
Im willing to work hard, Doctor Logue... |
| 00:35:07 |
Are you.. |
| 00:35:15 |
All right. |
| 00:35:17 |
We need to relax your jaw muscles, |
| 00:35:20 |
By repeating tongue twisters, for example. |
| 00:35:23 |
I am a thistle-sifter. I have a sieve of sifted thistles |
| 00:35:27 |
Because I am a thistle sifter. |
| 00:35:29 |
Fine! |
| 00:35:30 |
You do have a flabby tummy, so we need |
| 00:35:35 |
Simple mechanics. |
| 00:35:36 |
That's all we ask. |
| 00:35:37 |
And thats about a shillings worth. |
| 00:35:38 |
Forget about the blessed shilling! |
| 00:35:54 |
Perhaps, upon occasion, |
| 00:35:57 |
you might be requested |
| 00:36:07 |
Will that agreeable? |
| 00:36:09 |
Of course. |
| 00:36:13 |
That would be the full extent of your services. |
| 00:36:15 |
Shall I see you next week? |
| 00:36:17 |
I shall see you every day. |
| 00:36:21 |
Ahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah. |
| 00:36:25 |
Feel the looseness of the jaw |
| 00:36:30 |
Little bounces, bounces. |
| 00:36:34 |
Good. Good. |
| 00:36:36 |
Now loose. |
| 00:36:42 |
Take a nice deep breath. |
| 00:36:45 |
Put your hands onto your ribs. |
| 00:36:47 |
Deeper. Good. |
| 00:36:50 |
How do you feel? |
| 00:36:52 |
Full of hot air. |
| 00:36:53 |
Isnt that what public speaking is all about? |
| 00:36:55 |
My wife and I... |
| 00:36:57 |
are glad to visit this important... |
| 00:37:02 |
Take a deep breath, |
| 00:37:05 |
and slowly exhale, |
| 00:37:10 |
Are you all right, Bertie? |
| 00:37:11 |
This is actually quite good fun, |
| 00:37:14 |
Mmmmm-other |
| 00:37:17 |
Mmmm... |
| 00:37:19 |
Mmm-anufacturing a district |
| 00:37:22 |
Now a deep breath and... |
| 00:37:24 |
Jack and Jill... |
| 00:37:25 |
went up the hill. |
| 00:37:28 |
Now just sway. |
| 00:37:30 |
Perfect. |
| 00:37:31 |
Will not permit us to... |
| 00:37:34 |
Loosen the shoulders. |
| 00:37:36 |
Ding-dong bell |
| 00:37:38 |
Who put her in? |
| 00:37:45 |
You have a short memory, Bertie. |
| 00:37:50 |
A cow.. a cow... a cow |
| 00:37:54 |
A king... aaaaaaaaaa... |
| 00:37:59 |
Anyone who can shout vowels |
| 00:38:05 |
And fifty. |
| 00:38:07 |
a deep breath and... |
| 00:38:09 |
it is... |
| 00:38:12 |
No, it doesn't bloody work. |
| 00:38:14 |
Come on, one more time, Bertie, |
| 00:38:17 |
A sieve of sifted thistles |
| 00:38:36 |
Father... |
| 00:38:40 |
Father... Father |
| 00:39:14 |
Hello, Bertie. |
| 00:39:17 |
Nice of you to come out. |
| 00:39:18 |
Not at all. |
| 00:39:23 |
Have you been waiting long? |
| 00:39:25 |
Christ, it's bloody freezing. |
| 00:39:29 |
Whereve you been? |
| 00:39:32 |
I've been busy. |
| 00:39:36 |
Elizabeth has pneumonia. |
| 00:39:38 |
Im sorry. Shell recover. |
| 00:39:40 |
Father wont. |
| 00:39:45 |
Ill drive. |
| 00:39:50 |
Old buggers doing this on purpose. |
| 00:39:52 |
Dying? |
| 00:39:55 |
Departing prematurely... |
| 00:40:01 |
For heavens sake, David. |
| 00:40:04 |
Wallis explained. Shes terribly |
| 00:40:11 |
... whereas by letters patent under the Great Seal, bearing date of |
| 00:40:17 |
his Majesty King George V did constitute, |
| 00:40:23 |
Custos Regni, |
| 00:40:27 |
Its the order of the Council for |
| 00:40:31 |
So that we may act on your behalf. |
| 00:40:36 |
you'll have to clear it for me, |
| 00:40:42 |
Im still confused, but... |
| 00:40:43 |
Approved. |
| 00:40:45 |
Thank you. |
| 00:41:05 |
Thank you. |
| 00:41:12 |
Feeling a little better, Sir? |
| 00:41:13 |
No, Im not feeling any better. I |
| 00:41:20 |
Have you been ice skating? |
| 00:41:21 |
No, George. |
| 00:41:38 |
Yes, yes, all right, of course... |
| 00:41:41 |
...I know, darling, a talk, even a |
| 00:41:44 |
for holding tight and making drowsy. |
| 00:41:50 |
as weve had to do far too often lately. |
| 00:41:52 |
David, dinner? |
| 00:41:53 |
Im on with Wallis! |
| 00:41:54 |
It's Bertie. |
| 00:41:57 |
No. |
| 00:41:59 |
No, it's not important. |
| 00:42:02 |
I don't want to... |
| 00:42:04 |
No. |
| 00:42:06 |
Telephone me later. |
| 00:42:08 |
All right. Bye. |
| 00:42:12 |
Wallis misses me terribly. |
| 00:42:13 |
Mama says youre late for dinner. |
| 00:42:23 |
She forgets Papas bloody clocks |
| 00:42:42 |
How is the king? |
| 00:42:44 |
No, no, His Majesty, |
| 00:42:50 |
Thank you. |
| 00:42:56 |
David, If your father were well, tardiness |
| 00:43:02 |
None of this |
| 00:43:07 |
You know Sir, I appreciate that you are different |
| 00:43:16 |
I want you to know that whenever |
| 00:43:21 |
I tried, in your interest, to present |
| 00:43:29 |
I can always trust you to have my |
| 00:43:47 |
I fear our vigil will not be of |
| 00:43:49 |
Please, continue. |
| 00:44:06 |
We commend our brother George to |
| 00:44:24 |
Long live the King. |
| 00:44:39 |
I hope I will make good |
| 00:45:18 |
What on earth was that? |
| 00:45:19 |
Poor Wallis. |
| 00:45:37 |
And in these last 25 clouded, troubled, glorious years |
| 00:45:41 |
if there is one thing that King George has taught |
| 00:45:45 |
it is the art of the leader |
| 00:45:50 |
As long as he lived |
| 00:45:52 |
he was the guiding star of a great many. |
| 00:45:55 |
Dad?Hm-hm? |
| 00:45:58 |
Time for a shake, dad? |
| 00:46:01 |
You sure? |
| 00:46:02 |
Go on. |
| 00:46:12 |
Put your thinking caps on. |
| 00:46:17 |
I bet its a Scottish Play. |
| 00:46:19 |
No, its Othello. |
| 00:46:32 |
Art thou afeard? |
| 00:46:35 |
Be not afeard. |
| 00:46:36 |
Caliban! |
| 00:46:37 |
Oh! For heavens sake. |
| 00:46:40 |
Dont listen to egghead. |
| 00:46:44 |
The isle is full of noises, sounds and sweet airs |
| 00:46:48 |
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments |
| 00:46:54 |
and sometimes voices that, if then I had waked after |
| 00:46:59 |
Alright, clever clogs, |
| 00:47:02 |
And then, in dreaming, methought the clouds... |
| 00:47:05 |
the clouds methought would open and show riches |
| 00:47:11 |
I cried to dream again. |
| 00:47:12 |
That's a sad thought. |
| 00:47:16 |
My next patient must be a bit early. |
| 00:47:18 |
You better go lads, Im sorry. |
| 00:47:21 |
Wont be a moment, Clifford. |
| 00:47:27 |
Bertie! |
| 00:47:30 |
They told me not to expect you. |
| 00:47:35 |
I'm sorry about your father. |
| 00:47:38 |
I dont wish to intrude. |
| 00:47:39 |
Oh, no... please come in. |
| 00:47:53 |
Ive been practicing. An hour a day. |
| 00:47:59 |
Whats going on there? |
| 00:48:03 |
I was, sorry, |
| 00:48:09 |
Do you feel like working today? |
| 00:48:16 |
A Curtis bi-plane. |
| 00:48:17 |
Ill put on some hot milk. |
| 00:48:19 |
Logue, Logue. |
| 00:48:22 |
Id kill for something stronger. |
| 00:48:29 |
I wasnt there for my fathers death. |
| 00:48:33 |
I can imagine so. |
| 00:48:38 |
What did you father do? |
| 00:48:39 |
He was a brewer. |
| 00:48:40 |
At least there was free beer. |
| 00:48:44 |
Heres to the memory of your father. |
| 00:48:51 |
I was informed, |
| 00:48:55 |
that my fathers last words were: |
| 00:49:02 |
Bertie has more guts than the rest of his |
| 00:49:11 |
He couldnt say that to my face. |
| 00:49:18 |
My brother. |
| 00:49:22 |
What about him? |
| 00:49:26 |
Try singing it. |
| 00:49:28 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:49:29 |
What songs do you know? |
| 00:49:31 |
Songs? |
| 00:49:32 |
Yes, songs. |
| 00:49:34 |
Swanee River. |
| 00:49:35 |
I love that song. |
| 00:49:36 |
It happens to be my favorite. |
| 00:49:37 |
Sing with the chorus. |
| 00:49:39 |
No. Certainly not. |
| 00:49:45 |
I always wanted to build models. |
| 00:49:52 |
He collected stamps. |
| 00:49:58 |
You can finish that off if you sing. |
| 00:50:02 |
My brother David dum de dum dum... |
| 00:50:08 |
I'm not going to sit here warbling. |
| 00:50:09 |
You can with me. |
| 00:50:10 |
But youre peculiar. |
| 00:50:12 |
I take that as a compliment. |
| 00:50:19 |
Rules are rules. |
| 00:50:25 |
Im not crooning Swanee River! |
| 00:50:29 |
Camptown Races, then. |
| 00:50:30 |
My brother David said to me, |
| 00:50:34 |
Continuous sound will give you flow. |
| 00:50:48 |
Does it feel strange, |
| 00:50:53 |
To tell the truth, |
| 00:50:54 |
It was a relief... |
| 00:50:55 |
knowing I wouldnt be King. |
| 00:51:00 |
But unless he produces an heir, |
| 00:51:07 |
And your daughter, Elizabeth, |
| 00:51:12 |
Youre barking up the wrong tree |
| 00:51:15 |
Lionel. See? |
| 00:51:19 |
Of course I didnt stammer, I was singing! |
| 00:51:24 |
Well, as a little reward, you get |
| 00:51:34 |
Your boy won't mind? |
| 00:51:36 |
No, not at all. |
| 00:51:42 |
David and I were very close. |
| 00:51:50 |
Would you chase the same girls? |
| 00:51:56 |
David was always very helpful |
| 00:52:03 |
We would share the expert ministrations |
| 00:52:17 |
Not at the same time of course. |
| 00:52:23 |
Did David ever tease you? |
| 00:52:25 |
Oh, yes, they all did. |
| 00:52:30 |
Father encouraged it. Get it out, |
| 00:52:35 |
He said: I was afraid of my father, |
| 00:52:46 |
Are you naturally right-hand? |
| 00:52:51 |
Left. |
| 00:52:57 |
Yes, thats very common with stammerers. |
| 00:53:04 |
Any other corrections? |
| 00:53:06 |
Knock knees. |
| 00:53:11 |
Metal splints were made. |
| 00:53:17 |
That must have been painful. |
| 00:53:19 |
Bloody agony. |
| 00:53:25 |
Who were you closest to in your family? |
| 00:53:29 |
Nannies. Not my first nanny. |
| 00:53:36 |
When we are presented to my parents |
| 00:53:45 |
shed pinch me, so that I'd cry |
| 00:53:48 |
and be handed back to her immediately. |
| 00:53:54 |
Then she would... |
| 00:53:59 |
Sing it. |
| 00:54:02 |
then she wouldnt feed me, |
| 00:54:12 |
It took my parents three years to notice. |
| 00:54:17 |
As you can imagine, it |
| 00:54:29 |
What about your brother, Johnny? |
| 00:54:33 |
Were you close to him? |
| 00:54:36 |
Johnny.. |
| 00:54:49 |
Epilepsy...and... |
| 00:54:52 |
he was different. |
| 00:54:59 |
He died at 13, hidden from view. |
| 00:55:08 |
Im told its not catching. |
| 00:55:16 |
Do you want a top up? |
| 00:55:19 |
Please. |
| 00:55:25 |
You know, Lionel, youre the first |
| 00:55:31 |
Australian. |
| 00:55:34 |
...Ive ever really spoken to. |
| 00:55:38 |
When I'm driven through the |
| 00:55:45 |
the common man staring at me, |
| 00:55:47 |
Im struck by how little I know of his life, |
| 00:55:52 |
Thank you. |
| 00:55:55 |
What are friends for? |
| 00:56:00 |
I wouldnt know. |
| 00:56:07 |
I sifted seven thick-stalked |
| 00:56:17 |
Stop now, darling. |
| 00:56:21 |
I sifted seven... |
| 00:56:27 |
One hundred year old spruces |
| 00:56:32 |
Who does she think she is! |
| 00:56:33 |
Nonetheless, we must try to be |
| 00:56:36 |
You know she calls me the fat |
| 00:56:38 |
Youre not fat. |
| 00:56:41 |
Im getting plump. |
| 00:56:44 |
You seldom cook. |
| 00:56:48 |
I sifted seven. |
| 00:56:49 |
Shut up!! |
| 00:57:00 |
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and |
| 00:57:04 |
How lovely to see you both. |
| 00:57:08 |
Welcome |
| 00:57:12 |
I came at the invitation of the King. |
| 00:57:20 |
Your Majesty. |
| 00:57:23 |
Are you all right? |
| 00:57:25 |
Very nice to see you, Mrs Simpson. |
| 00:57:33 |
Very nice. |
| 00:57:39 |
Hello David. |
| 00:57:41 |
Youre making some changes to |
| 00:57:45 |
yes, I'm not quite finished yet. |
| 00:57:52 |
Dont tell me I behaved badly, Mr Churchill. |
| 00:57:54 |
On the contrary, your Royal |
| 00:57:57 |
Etiquette decrees that royalty should be greeted |
| 00:58:02 |
Not a commoner. |
| 00:58:08 |
What is her hold on him? |
| 00:58:10 |
I have no idea. |
| 00:58:14 |
Apparently she has |
| 00:58:16 |
acquired in an establishment in Shanghai. |
| 00:58:24 |
David. |
| 00:58:27 |
Just be a sec, darling. |
| 00:58:40 |
David, Ive been trying to see you. |
| 00:58:43 |
Ive been terribly busy. |
| 00:58:44 |
Doing what? |
| 00:58:47 |
Kinging. |
| 00:58:50 |
Kinging is a precarious business |
| 00:58:54 |
Where's the Russian Tsar? |
| 00:58:57 |
Youre being dreary. |
| 00:58:59 |
Is kinging laying off eighty staff and buying more pearls |
| 00:59:03 |
for Wallis while people are marching across Europe |
| 00:59:06 |
Stop your worrying. Herr Hitler |
| 00:59:08 |
And wholl sort out Herr Hitler? |
| 00:59:13 |
And you put that woman in our |
| 00:59:14 |
Mothers not still in the bed, |
| 00:59:16 |
Thats not funny. |
| 00:59:18 |
Here it is. |
| 00:59:20 |
I dont care what woman you carry |
| 00:59:24 |
as long as you show up for duty in the morning! |
| 00:59:27 |
Wallis is not just some woman I am |
| 00:59:29 |
We intend to marry. |
| 00:59:33 |
Excuse me? |
| 00:59:35 |
Shes filing a petition for |
| 00:59:38 |
Good God. |
| 00:59:41 |
Cant you just give her a nice |
| 00:59:43 |
I'm not having her as my mistress. |
| 00:59:45 |
The Church doesn't |
| 00:59:49 |
Havent I any rights? |
| 00:59:50 |
Many privileges... |
| 00:59:52 |
Not the same thing. |
| 00:59:53 |
Your beloved common man may marry for love, |
| 00:59:56 |
why not me? |
| 00:59:57 |
If you were a common man, on what |
| 01:00:02 |
Sounds like youve studied our |
| 01:00:05 |
Sounds like you havent. |
| 01:00:05 |
That's what this is all about? Brushing up. |
| 01:00:09 |
Hence the elocution lessons. |
| 01:00:13 |
Im trying to t-t... |
| 01:00:19 |
Yearning for a larger audience are we, |
| 01:00:24 |
Dont... |
| 01:00:27 |
What's that? |
| 01:00:31 |
Younger brother trying to push older |
| 01:00:35 |
Po-po-positively medieval. |
| 01:00:39 |
Wallis... |
| 01:00:43 |
Where have you been all this time? |
| 01:00:44 |
Who have you been talking to? |
| 01:00:49 |
Ahh..what a complicated |
| 01:00:53 |
I try to be. |
| 01:00:57 |
All that work, down the drain. |
| 01:01:01 |
My own brother... |
| 01:01:03 |
I couldnt say a single word |
| 01:01:05 |
Why do you stammer so much more with David |
| 01:01:09 |
Because youre bloody well paid to listen! |
| 01:01:12 |
Bertie, |
| 01:01:15 |
Stop trying to be so bloody clever! |
| 01:01:16 |
What is it about David that stops you speaking? |
| 01:01:19 |
What is it about you that bloody well makes |
| 01:01:24 |
Vulgar but fluent. You dont |
| 01:01:27 |
Oh, bugger off! |
| 01:01:28 |
Is that the best you can do? |
| 01:01:29 |
Well, bloody bugger to you, |
| 01:01:35 |
A public school prig can do better |
| 01:01:40 |
Shit! |
| 01:01:42 |
Shit, shit, shit! |
| 01:01:46 |
Yes, defecation flows trippingly |
| 01:01:50 |
Because Im angry! |
| 01:01:51 |
Do you Know the F word? |
| 01:01:56 |
Fornication? |
| 01:01:56 |
Oh, Bertie. |
| 01:01:59 |
Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck! |
| 01:02:02 |
Fucking bugger. Buggedy, buggedy, buggedy, |
| 01:02:07 |
Yes! You see! Not a hesitation! |
| 01:02:09 |
Shit fucking willy. Willy, shit and fuck and... tits. |
| 01:02:13 |
Dad? Whats going on? |
| 01:02:15 |
Sorry. Just finish your homework. |
| 01:02:19 |
Thats a side of you we dont |
| 01:02:23 |
No. No were not supposed to |
| 01:02:28 |
Lets get some air. |
| 01:02:29 |
Logue, no, I dont think thats a |
| 01:02:34 |
Whats the matter? |
| 01:02:38 |
Logue, you have no idea. |
| 01:02:43 |
My brother is infatuated with a woman whos |
| 01:02:50 |
Shes asking for a divorce and |
| 01:02:56 |
Mrs Wallis Simpson of Baltimore. |
| 01:03:01 |
Thats not right. |
| 01:03:03 |
Unthinkable. |
| 01:03:06 |
Can he do that? |
| 01:03:07 |
Absolutely not. |
| 01:03:10 |
All hells broken loose. |
| 01:03:13 |
Cant they just carry on privately? |
| 01:03:15 |
If only they would. |
| 01:03:19 |
Where does this leave you? |
| 01:03:23 |
I know my place. |
| 01:03:27 |
But I would do anything |
| 01:03:33 |
Is it that serious? |
| 01:03:37 |
Your place may well be on the throne. |
| 01:03:38 |
I am not an alternative to my |
| 01:03:40 |
You can outshine David... |
| 01:03:42 |
Dont take liberties! |
| 01:03:44 |
Thats bordering on treason. |
| 01:03:45 |
Im just saying you could be King. |
| 01:03:47 |
That is treason! |
| 01:03:49 |
Im trying to get you to realize |
| 01:03:51 |
Ive had enough of this! |
| 01:03:54 |
Whatre you afraid of? |
| 01:03:55 |
Your poisonous words! |
| 01:03:56 |
Why did you come to me? |
| 01:03:58 |
You are not some middle class bugger, |
| 01:04:02 |
Dont instruct me on my duties! |
| 01:04:05 |
Im the son of a .... |
| 01:04:09 |
the brother of a King. |
| 01:04:11 |
Youre the disappointing son of a brewer! |
| 01:04:14 |
A jumped-up jackeroo from the |
| 01:04:19 |
Youre nobody. |
| 01:04:21 |
These sessions are over! |
| 01:05:05 |
Its not because shes an American. |
| 01:05:10 |
Its because she is a soon to |
| 01:05:15 |
and the King, as head of The Church of England, |
| 01:05:24 |
And Sir, |
| 01:05:29 |
according to Scotland Yard, |
| 01:05:36 |
to Mrs. Simpsons... |
| 01:05:43 |
sharing them with a |
| 01:05:45 |
a certain Mr Guy Trundle. |
| 01:05:50 |
In addition, it is also rumored... |
| 01:05:53 |
Hitlers ambassador, Count von Ribbentrop, |
| 01:06:01 |
Should His Majesty continue to |
| 01:06:06 |
Otherwise his Government has no |
| 01:06:10 |
Prime Minister, |
| 01:06:11 |
youd leave the |
| 01:06:18 |
Does the King do what he wants? |
| 01:06:22 |
Or does he do |
| 01:06:32 |
Whats the matter, love? |
| 01:06:34 |
I'm just having trouble with a patient. |
| 01:06:38 |
That isn't like you. |
| 01:06:41 |
Why? |
| 01:06:44 |
He's scared. |
| 01:06:50 |
Isnt that why they come to you? |
| 01:06:54 |
This fellow could really be somebody great. |
| 01:06:59 |
Perhaps, he doesnt want to be great. |
| 01:07:04 |
Perhaps thats what you want. |
| 01:07:11 |
I might have overstepped the mark. |
| 01:07:15 |
Apologize. |
| 01:07:16 |
Do you both good. |
| 01:07:30 |
Im very sorry, Mr Logue. |
| 01:07:33 |
Im happy to wait. |
| 01:07:37 |
As I said, |
| 01:07:49 |
Thank you. |
| 01:07:55 |
Thank you. |
| 01:08:04 |
Parliament will not support their marriage. |
| 01:08:10 |
But there are other reasons for concern. |
| 01:08:11 |
He was careless with state papers, |
| 01:08:14 |
he lacked commitment and resolve. |
| 01:08:15 |
And there are those who are worried about where |
| 01:08:23 |
Were not coming to that? |
| 01:08:24 |
Indeed we are, Sir. |
| 01:08:26 |
Prime Minister Baldwin may deny this, |
| 01:08:33 |
War with Germany will come, and we will need |
| 01:08:40 |
I fear my brother is not of |
| 01:08:44 |
sound mind, at this time. |
| 01:08:49 |
Have you thought what you will call yourself? |
| 01:08:59 |
Certainly not Albert, Sir. |
| 01:09:10 |
What about George? |
| 01:09:11 |
After your father. |
| 01:09:15 |
George the Sixth. |
| 01:09:17 |
It has a rather nice continuity to it, |
| 01:09:25 |
David! Thank God. |
| 01:09:29 |
You look exhausted! |
| 01:09:33 |
How are you bearing up? |
| 01:09:36 |
Bertie, the decisions been made. |
| 01:09:39 |
I'm going. |
| 01:09:42 |
I can't accept that. |
| 01:09:44 |
Im afraid theres no other way. |
| 01:09:46 |
I must marry her. |
| 01:09:51 |
My minds made up. |
| 01:09:58 |
Thats a terrible thing to hear. |
| 01:10:03 |
Nobody wants that. |
| 01:10:13 |
At long last, I am able to say |
| 01:10:20 |
I have never wanted to withhold anything, |
| 01:10:24 |
it has not been constitutionally |
| 01:10:30 |
A few hours ago I discharged |
| 01:10:39 |
And now that I have been succeeded by |
| 01:10:45 |
my first words must be |
| 01:10:48 |
This I do with all my heart. |
| 01:10:55 |
You all know the reasons which have |
| 01:11:00 |
But you must believe me, |
| 01:11:04 |
that I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of |
| 01:11:10 |
as King, as I would wish to do, without |
| 01:11:20 |
And I want you to know |
| 01:11:21 |
this decision has been made less |
| 01:11:25 |
by the sure knowledge that my brother, with his |
| 01:11:34 |
and with his fine qualities |
| 01:11:37 |
will be able to take my place forthwith |
| 01:11:39 |
without interruption or |
| 01:13:04 |
I meet you today... |
| 01:13:13 |
in circumstances which are |
| 01:13:35 |
Thank you, darling. |
| 01:13:39 |
Oh, here's one. |
| 01:13:43 |
Thank you. Oops. |
| 01:13:45 |
Don't worry, |
| 01:13:48 |
Mama, will we have space for our |
| 01:13:50 |
Of course we will, darling, |
| 01:14:03 |
Curtsey. |
| 01:14:06 |
Your Majesty. |
| 01:14:25 |
How was it? |
| 01:14:38 |
I was trying to familiarize myself |
| 01:14:51 |
A dispatch from Mr Baldwin |
| 01:14:58 |
Davids finances. |
| 01:15:05 |
Christmas broadcast... |
| 01:15:10 |
I think that would be a mistake. |
| 01:15:12 |
No, don't worry about that. |
| 01:15:25 |
Plans for the Coronation. |
| 01:15:27 |
I think that would be an even bigger mistake. |
| 01:15:33 |
Im not a King. |
| 01:15:40 |
Im a naval officer. |
| 01:15:41 |
That's all I know. |
| 01:15:45 |
Im not a King. I'm not a King. |
| 01:15:51 |
I'm sorry. |
| 01:15:57 |
Oh, dear. Dear, dear man... |
| 01:16:05 |
You know, I refused your first |
| 01:16:10 |
not because I didnt love you, |
| 01:16:11 |
but because I couldnt bear |
| 01:16:16 |
Couldn't bear the idea of a life |
| 01:16:21 |
A life that no longer |
| 01:16:25 |
But then I thought... |
| 01:16:27 |
he stammers so beautifully... |
| 01:16:30 |
theyll leave us alone. |
| 01:16:58 |
Waiting for a king to apologize, |
| 01:17:07 |
Im afraid were slightly late. |
| 01:17:12 |
This is home. Myrtles at bridge. |
| 01:17:16 |
Its lovely. |
| 01:17:19 |
Absolutely lovely. |
| 01:17:21 |
Well, may I sit down? |
| 01:17:23 |
Yes, of course. |
| 01:17:32 |
Would you like some tea, Maam? |
| 01:17:33 |
Yes. Ill help myself. |
| 01:17:34 |
Off you go. |
| 01:17:36 |
Or must I knock your heads together? |
| 01:17:40 |
Heres your shilling. |
| 01:17:53 |
I understand... |
| 01:17:55 |
what you were trying to say, Logue. |
| 01:17:59 |
I went about it the wrong way. |
| 01:18:02 |
Im sorry. |
| 01:18:05 |
So, here I am. |
| 01:18:07 |
Is the nation ready |
| 01:18:12 |
Every stammerer always fears |
| 01:18:16 |
I dont let that happen. |
| 01:18:18 |
If I fail in my duty... |
| 01:18:22 |
David could come back. |
| 01:18:23 |
Ive seen the placards |
| 01:18:26 |
God Save Our King! |
| 01:18:30 |
They dont mean me. |
| 01:18:33 |
Every monarch in history |
| 01:18:37 |
has succeeded someone who was dead, |
| 01:18:46 |
My predecessor is not |
| 01:18:55 |
A bloody mess! |
| 01:18:59 |
I cant even give |
| 01:19:01 |
Like your Dad used to do? |
| 01:19:02 |
Precisely. |
| 01:19:04 |
He's not here anymore. |
| 01:19:09 |
Yes he is. Hes on that shilling I gave you. |
| 01:19:14 |
Easy enough to give away. You dont have |
| 01:19:19 |
Or your brother. |
| 01:19:22 |
You don't need to be afraid of the things |
| 01:19:33 |
Youre very much your own man, Bertie. |
| 01:19:37 |
Am I? |
| 01:19:42 |
Your face is next, mate. |
| 01:19:44 |
Lionel, dear? |
| 01:19:46 |
Myrtle! |
| 01:19:48 |
Is it all right? |
| 01:19:52 |
Bertie, come here. |
| 01:19:55 |
Are you all right, Logue? |
| 01:20:00 |
Shall we go through? |
| 01:20:04 |
What is it? |
| 01:20:07 |
You're... You're... |
| 01:20:11 |
After that, it's Maam, as in Ham, |
| 01:20:16 |
I haven't told her about us. |
| 01:20:20 |
I'm told your husband calls |
| 01:20:25 |
and my husband calls your husband Lionel. |
| 01:20:27 |
I trust you won't call me Liz. |
| 01:20:30 |
Your Majesty, you may call me |
| 01:20:34 |
Very nice to meet you, Mrs Logue. |
| 01:20:38 |
Logue, we can't stand here all day. |
| 01:20:40 |
Yes we can. Look, I need to wait |
| 01:20:43 |
Logue, youre being a coward! |
| 01:20:47 |
Get out there, now! |
| 01:20:51 |
Hello, Myrtle, darling! |
| 01:20:54 |
You're early. I believe you two have met! |
| 01:21:01 |
King George the Sixth. |
| 01:21:08 |
Will their Majesties be staying |
| 01:21:12 |
We'd love to, such a treat, |
| 01:21:16 |
a previous engagement. What a pity. |
| 01:21:34 |
Archbishop. |
| 01:21:39 |
What a glorious transformation, Sir. |
| 01:21:42 |
I hope you'll forgive us if we continue |
| 01:21:46 |
And now you will allow me to guide you |
| 01:21:56 |
We begin, of course, at the West door, |
| 01:22:03 |
I see all your pronouncements are |
| 01:22:07 |
Ah, yes, wireless... |
| 01:22:13 |
And I'm afraid I've also had to permit |
| 01:22:17 |
The product of which I shall personally |
| 01:22:20 |
Without momentary hesitations. |
| 01:22:23 |
This is Doctor Logue of Harley Street. |
| 01:22:31 |
Your Grace. |
| 01:22:32 |
Had I known that Your |
| 01:22:35 |
I shouldve made my own recommendation. |
| 01:22:38 |
Dr. Logue... |
| 01:22:41 |
will be attending the Coronation. |
| 01:22:43 |
Well, of course I shall speak with the Dean, |
| 01:22:48 |
I should like the Doctor to be seated |
| 01:22:57 |
But members of your family will be seated |
| 01:23:00 |
That is why it is suitable. |
| 01:23:04 |
And now, if you dont mind, Your Grace, |
| 01:23:06 |
My dear fellow, this is Westminster Abbey! |
| 01:23:11 |
My preparations are equally as important |
| 01:23:18 |
With complete privacy, if you don't mind. |
| 01:23:23 |
Those are my wishes, Your Grace. |
| 01:23:26 |
I will place the Abbey at Your Majestys |
| 01:24:04 |
I cant believe Im walking on Chaucer, |
| 01:24:12 |
Everything all right? Let's get cracking. |
| 01:24:16 |
Im not here to rehearse, Doctor Logue. |
| 01:24:22 |
Call me Lionel. |
| 01:24:25 |
True, you never |
| 01:24:31 |
I did that for you. |
| 01:24:40 |
No training, no diploma, |
| 01:24:49 |
Just a great deal of nerve. |
| 01:24:54 |
The Star Chamber inquisition, is it? |
| 01:24:56 |
You asked for trust and total equality. |
| 01:25:03 |
Bertie, I heard you at Wembley. |
| 01:25:07 |
My son Laurie said: Dad, do you think |
| 01:25:10 |
What, as a failed actor? |
| 01:25:12 |
Its true, Im not a doctor. |
| 01:25:19 |
Well I recited in pubs |
| 01:25:24 |
When the Great War came, |
| 01:25:25 |
all our Soldiers were returning to Australia |
| 01:25:28 |
A lot of them shell-shocked, |
| 01:25:32 |
Somebody said: Lionel, you're very good |
| 01:25:34 |
Do you think you could possibly help |
| 01:25:38 |
I did muscle therapy, exercises, relaxation, |
| 01:25:45 |
Those poor young blokes had cried out |
| 01:25:51 |
My job was to give them faith |
| 01:25:55 |
and let them know that a friend |
| 01:25:59 |
That must ring a few bells with you, |
| 01:26:07 |
A very noble account of yourself. |
| 01:26:09 |
Make inquiries. Its all true. |
| 01:26:11 |
Inquiries have been made. You have no idea |
| 01:26:18 |
I vouched for you and you have no |
| 01:26:24 |
But lots of success! |
| 01:26:28 |
There was no training then. |
| 01:26:31 |
and that war was some experience. |
| 01:26:37 |
My plaque says, |
| 01:26:40 |
No "Dr.". |
| 01:26:48 |
Lock me in the Tower. |
| 01:26:50 |
On what charge? |
| 01:26:53 |
With war looming, youve saddled |
| 01:26:58 |
You've destroyed the happiness of my family. |
| 01:27:04 |
patient you couldnt possibly hope |
| 01:27:09 |
It'll be like mad... |
| 01:27:16 |
probably |
| 01:27:25 |
who let his people down so badly |
| 01:27:29 |
Whatre you doing? Get up! |
| 01:27:32 |
Why not? Its a chair. |
| 01:27:33 |
No, that is not a chair, |
| 01:27:37 |
That is Saint Edward's Chair! |
| 01:27:40 |
That chair is the seat on which every |
| 01:27:43 |
It's held in place by a large rock! |
| 01:27:46 |
you are trivializing everything. |
| 01:27:48 |
I dont care how many royal... |
| 01:27:50 |
Listen to me. Listen to me! |
| 01:27:52 |
Listen to me! |
| 01:27:54 |
By divine right, if you must! |
| 01:27:56 |
No youre not! You told me so yourself. |
| 01:27:59 |
Why should I waste my time listening to you? |
| 01:28:01 |
Heard as what?! |
| 01:28:08 |
Yes, you do. |
| 01:28:20 |
You have such perseverance, Bertie. |
| 01:28:24 |
And youll make a bloody good king. |
| 01:28:34 |
What on earths going on, Sir? |
| 01:28:38 |
Mr Logue, you must know that I found |
| 01:28:42 |
with impecable credentials. Hence, your |
| 01:28:47 |
Im sorry? |
| 01:28:51 |
You didn't consult, but you have just |
| 01:28:56 |
Now I advise you. In this personal matter |
| 01:29:03 |
My concern is for the head upon |
| 01:29:08 |
I appreciate that Archbshop, |
| 01:29:15 |
Your humble servant. |
| 01:29:24 |
Thank you, Bertie. |
| 01:29:28 |
Shall we rehearse? |
| 01:29:39 |
Now when you and Elizabeth enter through |
| 01:29:43 |
you will be greeted by the hymn |
| 01:29:47 |
Actually you won't be that glad, because |
| 01:29:52 |
Then your friend the Archbishop |
| 01:29:57 |
and say: Sir, is Your Majesty willing |
| 01:30:03 |
I am willing. |
| 01:30:06 |
I'm going to see what this sounds |
| 01:30:08 |
so even your old nanny can hear. |
| 01:30:11 |
Will you govern your peoples of |
| 01:30:16 |
Australia and New Zealand according to |
| 01:30:23 |
I solemnly promise so do so." |
| 01:30:26 |
I solemnly promise to do so! |
| 01:30:29 |
Very good! |
| 01:30:30 |
Will you to your power cause law |
| 01:30:34 |
to be executed in all your judgments? |
| 01:30:37 |
I will. |
| 01:30:39 |
Then there's a very long bit about |
| 01:30:42 |
goes on, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish. |
| 01:30:46 |
The things which I have herebefore |
| 01:30:54 |
So help me God. |
| 01:30:55 |
And thats all you'll say. |
| 01:30:59 |
kiss the book, sign the oath, |
| 01:31:03 |
Easy. |
| 01:31:17 |
You nearly crowned him backwards |
| 01:31:21 |
Someone had removed the thread |
| 01:31:26 |
Try not lose the thread, Archbishop. |
| 01:31:29 |
Archbishop, we're missing Papa. |
| 01:31:36 |
Very good, very good. Archbishop. |
| 01:31:41 |
Well, I hope Your Majesties are thrilled |
| 01:31:44 |
You can switch that machine off now. |
| 01:31:47 |
No, wait, keep going. |
| 01:31:50 |
Do have a seat, Archbishop. |
| 01:31:52 |
Meshes of uniformed men, stupefying to the eye |
| 01:31:56 |
have stood in spellbound audience of the Führer. |
| 01:32:11 |
Papa? Mmm? |
| 01:32:13 |
Papa, whats he saying? |
| 01:32:14 |
I dont know, but he seems to be |
| 01:32:38 |
Sir, I have asked to see you today |
| 01:32:43 |
in order to tender my resignation |
| 01:32:49 |
I'm so sorry to hear that, Mr Baldwin. |
| 01:32:52 |
Neville Chamberlain will take my place |
| 01:32:56 |
Its a matter of principal. |
| 01:33:01 |
I have found it impossible to believe |
| 01:33:07 |
so lacking in moral feeling as Hitler. |
| 01:33:13 |
That the world may be hurled for a second |
| 01:33:22 |
Churchill was right all along. |
| 01:33:29 |
I'm really very sorry to leave you at |
| 01:33:36 |
I'm very much afraid, Sir, that your |
| 01:33:47 |
I am speaking to you from the cabinet |
| 01:33:55 |
This morning the British Ambassador |
| 01:33:59 |
handed the German Government a final note |
| 01:34:04 |
stating that unless we heard from them |
| 01:34:09 |
that they were prepared at once to |
| 01:34:14 |
a state of war would exist between us. |
| 01:34:19 |
I have to tell you now that no such |
| 01:34:25 |
and that consequently this country is |
| 01:34:37 |
At last Sir, here is your speech. |
| 01:34:42 |
Ive timed it to just under nine minutes. |
| 01:34:50 |
The Prime Minister will be joining you |
| 01:34:52 |
which will go out live across the Nation, |
| 01:34:57 |
Get Logue here immediately. |
| 01:35:14 |
There's the barrage balloons. |
| 01:35:18 |
They got them up there quickly. Yeah. |
| 01:35:33 |
Should we pull over and find shelter? |
| 01:35:47 |
Yes. Sir? |
| 01:35:49 |
Major Hartley's expecting me. |
| 01:36:00 |
Thank you, Laurie. |
| 01:36:08 |
The Kings Speech. |
| 01:36:10 |
You have about forty minutes until |
| 01:36:15 |
Thank you very much. Thank you. |
| 01:36:18 |
There may be dark days ahead, and... |
| 01:36:24 |
Try again. |
| 01:36:30 |
There may be dark days ahead, and... |
| 01:36:35 |
Turn the hesitations into pauses, and say |
| 01:36:39 |
I say that continuously, |
| 01:36:42 |
Long pauses are good: they add |
| 01:36:46 |
Then Im the solemnest king who ever lived. |
| 01:36:49 |
You know, if I'm a King... |
| 01:36:53 |
Can I... Can I form a Government? Can I... |
| 01:37:01 |
And yet I'm the seat of all authority. |
| 01:37:03 |
Because the Nation believes that |
| 01:37:09 |
But I can't speak! |
| 01:37:12 |
Lets take it all again from the top. |
| 01:37:28 |
In this grave hour, fuck-fuck-fuck |
| 01:37:32 |
perhaps the most fateful in our history, |
| 01:37:35 |
I send to every household of my... |
| 01:37:41 |
You see, "P" is always difficult, |
| 01:37:44 |
Bounce onto it: "a-peoples", not "people". |
| 01:37:47 |
a-people household of my... |
| 01:37:55 |
Beautiful. |
| 01:37:56 |
...this message, doo-dah, spoken with |
| 01:38:02 |
...for each one of you as if I were able |
| 01:38:06 |
to cross your threshold and speak to you |
| 01:38:10 |
In your head, now: I have a right to be |
| 01:38:12 |
Bloody well heard, bloody well heard, |
| 01:38:17 |
Now, waltz. Move! |
| 01:38:19 |
For the second time in the lives of most |
| 01:38:26 |
we are... |
| 01:38:27 |
Lionel, I cant do this. |
| 01:38:29 |
Bertie, you can do it. |
| 01:38:33 |
Have a look at the last paragraph. |
| 01:38:39 |
There he is. |
| 01:38:50 |
Archbishop. |
| 01:38:53 |
A great moment, Sir. |
| 01:39:00 |
Prime Minister. |
| 01:39:04 |
Nice to see you again, so soon. |
| 01:39:14 |
Good of you to be here. |
| 01:39:20 |
We hope we have no more interruptions |
| 01:39:24 |
Or the wretched dogs. |
| 01:39:27 |
Congratulations, First Lord of the Admiralty. |
| 01:39:36 |
The long walk. |
| 01:39:42 |
Good luck, Sir. |
| 01:39:46 |
I too dread this apparatus. Had a speech |
| 01:39:53 |
I didnt. |
| 01:39:57 |
An operation was considered to be |
| 01:40:00 |
I eventually made an asset of it. |
| 01:40:06 |
Thank you, Mr Churchill. |
| 01:40:09 |
Darling. |
| 01:40:11 |
How long, Logue? |
| 01:40:30 |
Five seconds, Sir. |
| 01:40:32 |
5, 4, 3 , 2 , 1. |
| 01:40:45 |
Mr Wood. |
| 01:40:50 |
Mr Wood. |
| 01:40:52 |
You've redecorated, Logue. |
| 01:40:57 |
Some fresh air. |
| 01:41:00 |
There you are, Darling. |
| 01:41:06 |
I'm thistle sifter, I've a sieve of sifted |
| 01:41:10 |
I've a sieve of sifted thistles and a sieve |
| 01:41:15 |
Bertie, darling, be sure its not switched on! |
| 01:41:18 |
Remember the red light will blink four times |
| 01:41:22 |
because we dont want that evil eye |
| 01:41:27 |
One minute, sir. |
| 01:41:31 |
I'm sure you will be splendid. |
| 01:41:45 |
Forty seconds, Sir. |
| 01:41:49 |
Logue, however this turns out, |
| 01:41:56 |
I dont know how to thank you |
| 01:42:02 |
Knighthood? |
| 01:42:08 |
Twenty seconds. |
| 01:42:16 |
Forget everything else and just say |
| 01:42:20 |
Say it to me, as a friend. |
| 01:43:05 |
In this grave hour, |
| 01:43:10 |
(Breathe) |
| 01:43:16 |
perhaps the most fateful in our history, |
| 01:43:25 |
I send to every household of my... peoples, |
| 01:43:32 |
a-peoples... |
| 01:43:37 |
both at home |
| 01:43:43 |
and overseas |
| 01:43:54 |
this message |
| 01:43:58 |
spoken with the same depth of feeling |
| 01:44:03 |
for each one of you |
| 01:44:05 |
as if I were able to cross your threshold |
| 01:44:10 |
and speak to you myself. |
| 01:44:18 |
For the second time in the lives of |
| 01:44:23 |
we are at... at war. |
| 01:44:26 |
(Fuck-fuck-fuck) |
| 01:44:27 |
... at war. |
| 01:44:32 |
Over and over again |
| 01:44:38 |
we have tried to find |
| 01:44:43 |
a peaceful way out of the differences |
| 01:44:53 |
and those who are now our enemies. |
| 01:45:02 |
But it has been in vain. |
| 01:45:08 |
We have been forced into a conflict. |
| 01:45:12 |
For we are called, to meet the challenge |
| 01:45:18 |
which, if it were to prevail, |
| 01:45:21 |
would be fatal to any civilized order |
| 01:45:27 |
in the world. |
| 01:45:29 |
Such a principle, |
| 01:45:32 |
stripped of all disguise, |
| 01:45:38 |
is surely the mere |
| 01:45:44 |
primitive doctrine that might is right. |
| 01:45:52 |
For the sake of all that we ourselves |
| 01:45:58 |
it is unthinkable that we should refuse |
| 01:46:11 |
It is to this high purpose |
| 01:46:19 |
my people at home and my peoples across |
| 01:46:27 |
who will make our cause their own. |
| 01:46:32 |
I ask them to stand calm and firm, |
| 01:46:39 |
and united in this time of trial |
| 01:46:44 |
the task will be hard. |
| 01:46:48 |
There may be dark days ahead, |
| 01:46:52 |
and war can no longer be confined |
| 01:47:00 |
But we can only do the right |
| 01:47:06 |
and reverently commit our cause to God. |
| 01:47:16 |
If one and all we keep resolutely |
| 01:47:25 |
then, with Gods help, |
| 01:47:31 |
we shall prevail. |
| 01:47:50 |
That was very good, Bertie. |
| 01:48:07 |
You still stammered on the w. |
| 01:48:11 |
I had to throw in a few so they knew it was me. |
| 01:48:19 |
Congratulations, your Majesty. |
| 01:48:22 |
Thank you, Mr Wood. |
| 01:48:27 |
Congratulations, your Majesty. |
| 01:48:30 |
Congratulations, your Majesty. |
| 01:48:44 |
Ready. |
| 01:48:46 |
Good? |
| 01:48:49 |
Your first wartime speech. |
| 01:48:55 |
Expect I shall have to do |
| 01:49:03 |
Thank you, Logue. |
| 01:49:14 |
Well done, my friend. |
| 01:49:21 |
Thank you, Your Majesty. |
| 01:49:37 |
I knew youd be good. |
| 01:49:48 |
Thank you, Lionel. |
| 01:49:54 |
Onwards? |
| 01:49:57 |
Congratulations, Sir. |
| 01:50:00 |
Wouldn't have said it better myself, Sir. |
| 01:50:02 |
Your Majesty, I am speechless. |
| 01:50:05 |
Congratulations, Sir. |
| 01:50:07 |
Gentlemen. |
| 01:50:09 |
Congratulations, your Majesty. |
| 01:50:11 |
So how was Papa, Elizabeth? |
| 01:50:15 |
Halting at first, but you got much |
| 01:50:19 |
Bless you. |
| 01:50:21 |
And how about you, Margaret? |
| 01:50:25 |
Of course I was. |
| 01:50:28 |
We all ready? |
| 01:50:30 |
Come on girls. |
