                        The King´S Speech. 

The King's Speech is a historical drama film released in 2010 directed by Tom Hooper and starring Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush.
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.
