THE PLOT.
Prince Albert was
the Duke of York, the second son of King George V. He had a problem because he
could not speak in front of people, he became very nervous and stuttered in all
his speeches. For this reason, his wife Elizabeth Duchess of York convinced him
to go to visit a speech therapist Lionel Logue, an Australian specialist who
lived in London.
But the Duke did
not come out happy with the first session, although he managed to read a text
of Hamlet while listening to music.
After returning to
stutter in Christmas Speech, he decided to visit Logue again. Then they begin
to work together on muscle relaxation and breath control, and despite his
initial reservations, Logue gently begins probing the psychological roots of
his stuttering. They continued with therapy, which proved to be effective.
After becoming king
(by the name of George VI), in September 1939, Britain declared war on Nazi
Germany and George VI cites Lionel Logue in Buckingham Palace for help him with
the preparation of his speech , which will be broadcast live both in the UK how
to all territories of the British Empire. With millions of people listening,
King delivers his speech without stuttering while silently guides Logue. After
the speech, the king thanked Logue your help and exit to the balcony, with his
family, to greet the thousands of Londoners have gathered to listen, cheer and
applaud.
