免费翻译网There is 'Oscar buzz' for dfmThe King's Speech. a new film that tells the true story of how Britain's King George VI overcame a debilitating stutter to inspire his nation during World War II.
"In this grave hour, perhaps the most fateful in our history, I nd to every houhold of my people, both at home and overas, this message."
The hesitations in an archival recording of a 1939 broadcast from Buckingham Palace give only a hint of how difficult it was for King George VI to speak in public becau of his lifelong stammer. Even before he was thrust onto the throne and into the limelight when his brother Edward VIII abdicated in 1936, every effort at therapy had failed ...until his wife Elizabeth, using the fictitious name "Johnson," found the shabby studio of Australian Lionel Logue.
"My husband has en everyone, to no avail. I'm awfully afraid he has given up hope."
"Well, we need to have your hubby pop by. He can give me his personal details, I'll make a frank appraisal and then we'll take it from there."自考成绩单打印
"Doctor, I don't have a 'hubby.' We don't 'pop.' Nor do we ever talk about our private lives. No, you must come to us."
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Johnson: my game, my turf, my rules."
"And what if my husband were the Duke of York."
Helena Bonham Carter plays the "Queen Mum" and Oscar-winner Geoffrey Rush co-stars as the unorthodox, but ultimately successful therapist Logue.

"Part of Lionel's technique was 'I'm treating you, the man, not you the King' and he insisted on that level of equality," explains Rush. "A lot of the therapy was getting the Duke of York and, subquently as he became, George VI to drop that royal mask and find out who he was as a person."

"I kept saying to people [who would ask] what's this film about and I would say 'well, it's about two middle-aged men who become friends;' but I'd say to the producers 'don't put that on the poster becau no one will come.' But that is the esnce of it," Rush says.

"It's funny to say that about a member of the Royal family when none of us are one or can possibly know what that is like," notes Firth, "but I think what it has done is taken issues that apply to absolutely everybody and ud this convention to heighten tho things. Isolation is universal. It doesn't matter how clo you are to your family, how many good friends you have [or] how perfect your marriage is ...and most people are not ticking all tho boxes. This is taking that truth and making a very extreme ca out of it. If communication is imperfect, let's show a man for whom it is traumatic. If men protect the
mlves behind certain rerves from intimacy, then let's take a man who not only does that, he is protected by high walls, titles, protocols. You could almost look at them as metaphors for barriers we all put up.
Director Tom Hooper says the heart of his film is how the King confronts tho very ordinary problems.

"I think he humanized royalty for people. The public knew that he had a stammer so when
they listened to him on the radio they were kind of hoping he would be okay and able to get through," says Hooper. "I think he put a human face on the monarchy becau if someone is struggling with a disability like that it's hard not to feel connected.
The script by David Seidler is bad on exhaustive rearch and first person accounts including Lionel Logue's unpublished diaries, discovered just weeks before filming began. Director Hooper says the challenge was to craft all that authenticity into an engaging story.
"It is probably the thing that I agonize about the most and gives me the most anxiety," admits Hooper, "becau I care deeply about historical truth. I am the son of an historian. My mother, who is Australian, has written both on Australian and American history. I grew up in a hou where history and truth mattered deeply around the dinner table. But I think in the end my responsibility is always to my audience and always to entertainment first, becau you get no prizes for making a wholly accurate version of this film that was borin
g. In the end you've still got to invent. Even if you do everything truthfully, you still have to invent a ton load if you make a film about the people. That act of invention is something that has to sit alongside the concern for accuracy."
The King's Speech also features Guy Pearce as George's brother Edward; Michael Gambon plays their father, King George V; and the historical figures include Winston Churchill, portrayed by Timothy Spall.
