King’s Speech

The movie, King’s Speech, is based on a real story of a king overcoming his speech difficulties and making one of the most remarkable speech in the history.

The movie tells its story calmly but my thoughts did not end even when the movie ended. I have mixed feelings about the movie’s idealization of the class problem in the Britain but the struggle of this king gave me a valuable lesson. Without the help of his wife and therapist he probably would not have overcome his speech disability and he would not have become the king if his brother did not give up the position. But on the other side, his persistance was also indispensable to his success. This convinces of the words that my parents always tell me,’ the opportunity is always for those who are prepared.’

I will keep this story in mind when I encounter difficulties in my study life.
