Analyse af filmen 'The King's Speech'

Values are a great deal to everyone and a big part of the present and the past. As changes are made all the time, we cannot forget all the work behind those alterations and how they have made an impact on our present lives and the values that follow. The kingdom and its history are a great and huge part of English history, even today. But far from every kingdom is free from difficulties, family drama, and the success that comes from making the right decisions. The film “The King’s Speech” (2010) by Tom Hopper tells the story and the difficulties of King George VI's reign and his tremendous speech problems. The film is thereby filled with the themes of overcoming your problems and pushing the boundaries which can be extremely difficult, especially when you are surrounded by people and yet feel all alone.

The main conflict in the film “The King's Speech” is between Albert and himself. From the very first scene in the film, we see Albert having issues with his speaking, since he stutters. This causes him a great deal of embarrassment, anger, and inner strikes. This physical conflict is also provoking the quarrel that revolves around Alberts’s future, and that he unexpectedly is about to be the very King of England. Therefore, it is more important than ever for him to be in control of his speaking, which sets a lot of pressure on the poor man’s shoulders. Through the film, he is getting help and guidance for these speech difficulties and even though Albert never completely gets rid of his stammering problems, the film represents the sincere message of empowerment and personal growth considering Alberts stubbornness, that finally lets himself get the help that he needs. And that alone is a huge conflict to overcome.
