《国王的演讲》The King’s Speech根据英王乔治六世的真实经历改编。因自幼口吃,他在国家危难时刻面临巨大压力,需要发表对全国的演讲。在非传统语言治疗师莱昂纳尔的帮助下,乔治六世克服心理障碍,逐渐找回语言的力量,也找回了自信与尊严。
Based on a true story, The King’s Speech follows Prince Albert, who becomes King George VI, as he struggles with a speech impediment. With the help of unconventional speech therapist Lionel Logue, he overcomes his stammer and leads his nation with courage and dignity during World War II.
