第一篇:《国王的演讲》英语影评12
The King's Speech
It is a quite inspiring story about a man, psychologically scarred, and trapped in a situation from which he could have no escape and facing it with immense courage.The movie starts off with a stammering speech and signs off with a staggering one, with hardly any glitches in between.The basic premise of the movie is fairly simple.A king with a stutter is helped by a maverick speech therapist to overcome his problem and become an inspiring orator.That sounds like a very known territory to most movie goers.But few minutes into the movie, and you realize that this one simply pushes the bar a notch higher.The film conveyed very powerfully in the opening scene, the enormity of what was required of him.As the film develops, the complexities of the character are revealed.The acting is superb, especially from the three principals, and the development of the troubled and spark relationship at the heart of the film is a joy to watch.The film is very funny and the characters have warmth and humanity.The film is well paced, and carries you along to the emotional climax, so that, even though I knew the story, it had me holding my breath.If you don't need lots of action or special effects in your film, and enjoy seeing top-notch actors at the very peak of their craft, this will be for you.You might also, as I did, gain a bit more insight into the human drama behind a significant, but relatively unexplored period of British history.This is a biopic about how King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II, overcame his stuttering problem.Widely considered by all but his father unfit to be king, George is reluctantly thrust unto the throne and into the spotlight after his brother is forced to abdicate.Overshadowed on the global stage by powerful orators like Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini, the King relies on the help of a little-known Australian speech therapist named Lionel Logue to find his voice and courageously lead his people into the most devastating war humanity has ever faced.This is a powerful, hilarious and deeply moving story, told against the backdrop of a critical juncture in modern history, of the emergence of a deep friendship out of a professional relationship between two men who would otherwise never have socially interacted.I was literally slapping my knee during some of the scenes.The buildup to the climactic finale is skillfully executed and prompted the audience to erupt into spontaneous applause.Geoffrey Rushdoes a fantastic job as Lionel Logue and Colin Firth is excellent as King George VI.It turns out that David Seidler also had a stuttering problem as a child and drew inspiration from the king's struggle.Early in his career he wanted to write a screenplay about it.He dutifully asked the Queen Mother for permission.She agreed but told him “not in my lifetime”.Little did he know she would live to be 101 and he would have to wait another 30 years.Another interesting tidbit we learned was that near the end of the shoot, the crew finally located one of Lionel Logue's grandsons, who just so happened to live about 10 minutes away from the director.They got access to Lionel's diaries and correspondence and managed to incorporate some of it into the script.This movie is an unqualified must see.

The film review of The King's Speech
Actually,before the class we watched the movie, I have seen the movie by myself because of its fame as the King's Speech has won the Oscar for the Best Picture at the 83rd Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles.As known to all, it is a very touching, and quite inspiring story about a man who became King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II.I have never known that he, a king ,should suffer so much to fufil his responsibility,while his brother just abandoned his throne for his so-called true love,which in my eyes,is reallyridiculous and irresponsible.And it’s also his brother that pushed George VI to be stronger, Through a set of unexpected techniques, and as a result of the friendship, Bertie is able to find his voice and lead the country through the war.The film is well paced, and carries me along to the emotional climax, so that, even though I’m watching the movie a second time, it still hold my breath all through the movie,during which I feel the perseverance and patience Bertie owned once again.The most impressing part is that the King bear the
responsibility and finally suceed through his hardworking train,despite how tiring and sweating,with his lips trembling again and again.As the film develops, the complexities of the character are revealed.Bertie’s brother Edward VIII focus his attention on his marriage,giving no care to the management of his country,though his father George v wished him to be a good king before his death.He didn’t know he was giving up his country.He just misunderstood the significance of his life.You see, the prince and Mrs
Simpson talked on the phone, the younger brother George six on the floor said, “mother iswaiting for you for dinner”, he said: “she forgot that father's clock is faster for half an hour.” And then he went to put the clock back half a lap.How absurd he was!
The doctor,according to the movie and the true history,Leon was not a professional doctor, he just had some speech experience of the guidance, but helped George VI solve the problem of nine experts.According to
Buckingham Palace staff memories,George VI was like a studying-hard
primary school student,under Leon's train.George VI once said, at one o 'clock in the morning he was awakened by nightmare , the dream of his own standing in the UK parliament preparinga presentation, but no word he could speak out.As countries gradually evolved into the horrors of war, the state and the
people desperately needed a wise leader.Then Edward VIII gave the throne to his brother and George VI’s wife Elizabeth also would be the future queen mother, Through a series of training, the new king got big improvement, overcame his stuttering problem, Leon also won the people's respect and honored to be the king's friends.I really enjoy the king’s wife, Elizabeth,inspiring his husband though the king is always losing his temper.Bertie can not compare with his smart and handsome brother, he never tried to be a king, but history and fate chose him.As the film has shown, if not for Elizabeth's full support, George VI won't have later achievement, if it weren't for the queen’s unyielding insistment, even a language therapists he was unwilling to meet.After searching for the true story, I admire Elizabeth’s kind heart even more, George VI awarded the medal of “fine heart” immediately to his wife after his coming to the throne : “without her help and support for me , I can't afford to take on the burden.” He and his wife's portraits are printed on commemorative stamps , when queen avatar has never appear on the stamps, this shows George VI’s attention on his wife.In addition,it teaches me to find the root of the problem and suit the remedy to the case,just like the doctor who uses his particular and maybe a little werid ways to cure the stuttering of the king.Moreover, a real hero, is not one saying how wonderful he is but one with a sincere heart and working enthusiasm.And everybody has a weak side.However,we can be stronger and more capable through hard work.Besides, This film is very beautiful, all composition of a picture, all of the screen, are graceful and calm.The king's speech is completely played in a modern look to structure the history, combining serious history with relaxing plot..Such an insping movie gives me much benefit and help, I believe it deserve me seeing a third time.And I will learn more about this story,in order to fufil myself.
第五篇:国王的演讲影评
国王的演讲影评
《国王的演讲》气势十足的横扫今年各大颁奖礼。他是作为一部英国本土的皇室题材电影.摘下王冠,Bertie只是一个因为童年阴影致使失去自信,脾气暴躁而且口吃的普通人。但是作为乔治五世的二儿子,意味着他必须面对两个选择。要么结巴着在全英国面前丢尽皇室的脸,要么解开心结放下所有心理包袱承担起一个国王在国家危难时应该承担的一切责任。
尚且忽略外界是用何种眼光看待皇室成员,尽管甚至有史料披露乔治六世与其妻子间存在恶劣关系,但至少在电影中,能塑造出一个事实上存在或不存在人物,使他成为观众心中的精神英雄,给观众以积极的心理暗示,这也是电影之所以能发展至今的原因之一。
每个人的成长中总得有也总会有那么一两个人在鼓励扶持着你,并非因为身份,而只是纯粹因为信赖。对于Bertie,妻子和语言导师Lionel就是那两个人。正如Lionel所说,“This fellow would be somebody great, he just afraid of his own shadow.”他的确有资格成为伟人,而不是龟缩在自己的精神世界中无法自拔。
尽管作为皇室题材电影,口吃会导致吐字时的发音气流显得格外清晰,镜头的特写甚至能明显看到Colin的唇部肌肉紧张且不规则的张弛,努力想要读出的单词因无法吐出而涨红了脸,面对Lionel有意的咄咄逼人而作出暴跳如雷的反驳。乔治六世敏感脆弱又无奈的心理在他的演绎下被彻底展现在观众面前。再加上Geoffrey,Helena,Timothy, Jennifer等一众戏骨,不可否认,是主演们的演技让这部皇室题材电影显得更具观赏性。之所以会产生口吃,始终归咎于Bertie的心理阴影和缺乏自信。在片中他有六次不同时间段的演讲,而这些演讲又与他当时的心理有密切联系。因此将这六次演讲与当时的心理活动结合起来,能更准确的揣摩出这位从有身体障碍的约克郡公爵成长为具有反战象征的乔治六世的艰难过程。
温布利球场里皇室博览会的闭幕演讲是作为约克郡公爵的Bertie第一次在公开场合亮相。在全场观众的注视下,麦克风将他的口吃无限放大,同时也往他作为一个有身体缺陷的人脆弱的心里再撒一把盐。像一只受伤的刺猬,竖起身上的棘刺,将所有人拒于千里之外。镜头没有对Bertie的心理状态进行刻意的描写,而是通过他的言行举止反映出他当时内心既无助又抗拒的心态。
父亲乔治五世圣诞演讲后,特意让Bertie练习刚发表的演讲稿,这是他第二次面对演讲稿。在父亲的严厉斥责下,他不由自主的缩紧胳膊。再明显不过的,又一次挣扎着吐不出字。不停地抽烟从另一个角度来
说,证明他只能通过烟来缓解内心的紧张感和不自信。当天晚上边抽烟边骂着“骗子,混蛋”表示Bertie此时的内心充满愤恨。他恨自己的口吃,更恨别人给他的精神压迫。所以这时候从录音带中听到自己在Lionel的诊室里那段流利的朗读,对他与他的妻子,无疑意味着一个希望。在这刻,Bertie内心第一次出现希冀。在同意并接受Lionel的训练期间,他和妻子两人也在尽皇室成员应尽的义务去参观工厂并发表即时演讲。这次的演讲虽然依然令人失望,但因为Lionel之前的教导,至少使他能吞吐着说完一句话。信任已经逐渐在他内心占去大部分,此时Bertie的性情在Lionel,妻子和两个女儿的鼓励下显得越发沉稳。说到《国王的演讲》这种能被奥斯卡垂青的电影,给人的感觉一定是不可挑剔、无懈可击了的。事实上也如此。尤其是电影的最后,英王演讲一段,不能不说既带给人了感动,又是一个励志的经典。而英王的那段演讲辞,其实也不过是众多精彩演讲辞的其中一个,但是由于电影前一部分的铺陈,此时的演讲辞却被赋予的极大地魅力。
励志的故事套在谁身上都有可能会魅力无限,所以励志的电影很多,但《国王的演讲》却能脱颖而出,究其原因主要有两点:
一是电影制作的精良程度。无可厚非,《国王的演讲》是励志电影,《杜拉拉升职记》(徐静蕾版)同样也是,区别就在于一个是描写皇室生活,一个是描写职场生活,从大众化得角度来说,后者更要“亲民”一些,但作为一部国产电影,《杜拉拉升职记》为何难以得到国人的恭维?这就要看电影制作的精良程度了。显而易见,《国王的演讲》的制作是相当精良的,该片毫不吝啬地大量运用蒙太奇手法,其中伸缩镜头很自然地带动画面的划接,更是堪称一绝;而《杜拉拉升职记》在炫丽的剪辑开场之后,一切都落入了电视电影的拍摄水准,有些地方甚至到了让人觉得剪辑都是多余的地步。
二是《国王的演讲》这部电影绝不单单是励志那样简单。
乔治六世身为一个口吃的公爵,他自己也很有自知之明,继承王位不是他的初衷,但老国王的死去,以及爱德华八世为其伟大的爱情观而选择退位时,王位就自然而然地落到了他的身上。且王位本来就是个有名无实的东西,之前老国王也提到这一点“我们只不过是在众人面前演戏”,所以在上有首相压制,下有议会干扰,旁有教会的追击下,国王的功能只有一个,那就是作为公众人物的他们,替议会和首相演讲。但偏巧,这唯一的功能也正是乔治六世最大的难题。因此,他之所以要想尽一切办法来消除自己口吃的毛病,并不是因为别人的讥讽,也不是家人朋友的激励,而是来源于首相、议会、教会的“政治”压迫,要知道
在一个君主立宪制的国家,想要干掉一个国王比杀鸡宰牛困难不了多少。父亲的去世以及哥哥的卸任,使他在二战前夕匆忙地登上皇位。希特勒的脚步不断逼近,整个国家笼罩在战前的恐惧中。即将成为乔治六世的Bertie强烈的责任感在口吃这一障碍前显得更加力不从心,与Lionel的争执充分显示他的极度不自信。就职委员会上的内部演讲反映出他内心的压迫感不断加强。镜头在墙上壁画中游移说明Bertie当时的紧张感与压迫感的强烈。之后在妻子面前无助的抽泣,是因为他得面对的责任因他的口吃而转变成他的心理压力,假如无法治愈他的口吃,乔治六世这个头衔对于他也就只意味着难以想象的心理负担。这也不难理解为什么一直拖到现在,心高气傲的他才向Lionel提出道歉。
紧接着的加冕大典Bertie需要宣誓完成,Lionel的故意刺激让他意识到自己有能力相信自己说的话有人会在乎,而不会因为他的口吃而将他忽略。Lionel想通过激将法令他有说话的勇气,抛下不自信的包袱。可以说自此,Bertie已经有足够信心与成熟作为一个君王来面对接下来的一系列挑战,包括二战的打响。首相的辞职使国家的形势变得更加严峻,群龙无首的政局在二战到来之际显得越发风雨飘摇。在国家危在旦夕的时刻,成为乔治六世的Bertie必须以一国之首的身份稳握大局,在人心惶惶的此刻给全英人民以警示,信心与支持,发出团结一致以捍卫正义的口号。即便依旧会妄自菲薄,但在这一刻,在他的内心,坚强和责任感已经战胜了胆怯,国家的危难远比他的个人顾虑更重要。他的国家和人民需要一个勇敢的国王,即便这个国王依然拥有曾经令他难以启齿的身体障碍。在演讲直播过程中,Lionel对他的肢体鼓励与提示是有所变化的。由一开始的边带动其放松边核对稿子,到后来完全放开手让Bertie独自朗诵,最后在演讲结束后第一次称呼他“国王先生”,证明Bertie已经彻底战胜过去的自己,真正成长为Lionel之前说的“最勇敢的人”。
作为一个国王的成长故事,所有跌宕起伏的经历终将在皇家外表的金碧辉煌中沉淀下来,成为一段鲜为人知的历史。而对于外界的所有评价,无论褒贬与否都只是过眼云烟。所要在乎的,唯有自己有否曾经真正努力,去战胜从前那个不成熟的自己。
