3.) King George VI who, to cope with a stammer, sees Lionel Logue, an Australian speech and language therapist played by Geoffrey Rush. The men become friends as they work together, and after his brother abdicates the throne, the new King relies on Logue to help him make his first wartime radio broadcast on Britain's declaration of war on Germany in 1939.
Seidler read about George VI's life after overcoming a stuttering condition he endured during his youth. He started writing about the relationship between the monarch and his therapist as early as the 1980s, but at the request of the King's widow, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, postponed work until her death in 2002. He later rewrote his screenplay for the stage to focus on the essential relationship between the two protagonists. Nine weeks before filming began, Logue's notebooks were discovered and quotations from them were incorporated into the script.

"The King's Speech" tells the story of a man compelled to speak to the world with a stammer. It must be painful enough for one who stammers to speak to another person. To face a radio microphone and know the British Empire is listening must be terrifying. At the time of the speech mentioned in this title, a quarter of the Earth's population was in the Empire, and of course much of North America, Europe, Africa and Asia would be listening.
4.) Best picture, and Colin Firth received the Oscar for best actor.

The King's Speech is about a duke that becomes a king, but he is scared because he has a speech problem. He has to go see a therapist to help him talk in public.
Best Motion Picture of the Year, Best Performance by Actor in a Leading Role, Best Achievement in Directing, Best Writing, Original Screenplay.
I did enjoy this show, at least the parts that I saw. I thought it was cool how the therapist wanted to be an equal while he was with the king.
