绷紧的琴弦无法奏出任何曲子,整部片子国王只笑过三次,他的眼神总是带着忧伤、胆怯。经历过多次失败的治疗,让他失去了信心。遇到罗格在开始的治疗过程中也是不信任、不配合,发脾气。而对国王来说,最大的敌人是他自己,要打败的也是自己,这是一场自己与自己的斗争。但他在与罗格的相处中渐渐战胜了自卑,影片结尾国王带着前所未有的勇敢与坚定,在二战前发表了鼓舞人心的演讲。
The taut strings were unable to play any music, and the king only smiled three times throughout the film, his eyes always filled with sadness and timidity. Having experienced multiple failed treatments, he lost confidence. During the initial treatment process, Logue also lacked trust, cooperation, and lost his temper. For the king, the biggest enemy is himself, and it is also himself who needs to be defeated. This is a struggle between himself and himself. But he gradually overcame his inferiority complex in his interactions with Logue, and at the end of the film, the king delivered an inspiring speech with unprecedented courage and determination before World War II.
国王的演讲这部影视中更多显露的是伯蒂战胜自我心理的过程。他本身对自己是没有信心的。从儿时起的不公平对待使他自卑,半天生性的口吃渐渐的也让他“认命”,在他刚开始接受帮助时,他显得极其不情愿,因为多次治疗失败使他不愿再涉及口吃的话题,而在他训练时的不耐烦也证实了“认命”的事实。但是什么让他最后做出改变呢?我认为有两点。
The king's speech in this film reveals more about Bertie's process of overcoming her own psychology. He has no confidence in himself. The unfair treatment since childhood made him feel inferior, and his habitual stuttering gradually made him feel inferior; Accept your fate; When he first started receiving help, he appeared extremely reluctant because multiple failed treatments made him unwilling to delve into the topic of stuttering, and his impatience during training also confirmed it; Accept your fate; The fact. But what made him make the final change? I think there are two points.
第一点是众望与责任。伯蒂的哥哥是一个渴望放纵和自由的人,可以为了爱放弃一切,爱得轰轰烈烈,但这样一个人偏偏是英国皇室的长子,出生起就是下一代国王的继承人,这一点谁都不能改变。但乔治五世,也就是伯蒂的父亲,怎能放心把国家交给这样一个不负责任的人呢?于是他开始寄望于伯蒂。通过与父亲的谈话,伯蒂明白了父亲的寄望与托付:治疗口吃,成为国王。这对他来说是艰难的,但至少他内心是渴望痊愈的。于是在这样被迫的情况下,他只能配合治疗,做出改变。
The first point is expectations and responsibilities. Bertie's brother is a person who yearns for indulgence and freedom, willing to give up everything for love and love passionately. However, such a person happens to be the eldest son of the British royal family, born as the heir to the next king, and this cannot be changed by anyone. But how could George V, Bertie's father, trust to entrust the country to such an irresponsible person? So he began to rely on Bertie. Through his conversation with his father, Bertie understood his father's hope and trust: to cure his stutter and become a king. This is difficult for him, but at least he longs for healing in his heart. So in such a forced situation, he could only cooperate with the treatment and make changes.
第二点就是他和罗格在磨合中产生的友谊。影片刚开始的时候,他通常表现出的是对罗格的不耐烦和不屑。虽然口吃会让他有些许自卑,但他的身世却足以碾压罗格。可“怪人”罗格对待伯蒂却是很友善的,他不在乎伯蒂偶尔的小脾气,也不刻意关注伯蒂恼怒时的言语,他愿意将自己宽阔的心胸向伯蒂敞开自始至终,他认为人与人都是平等的。所以他也一直在引导伯蒂敞开心扉,表达情绪,发泄不满,实现真实的自我,从而看清自己改变自己。通过伯蒂的刻苦训练,从而有所收获中,他渐渐的开始信任罗格,渐渐的把他当作真正的朋友,这就是跨越心坎,做出改变。在这段友谊中,罗格一直扮演着倾听者的角色,这也许是导演设计的寓意:身世是永远无法改变和跨越的坎,但人心却是可以通过沟通与交流改变的。
The second point is the friendship he developed with Logue during their adjustment. At the beginning of the film, he usually shows impatience and disdain towards Rogue. Although stuttering may make him feel a little insecure, his background is enough to crush Logue. Can be“ Freak” Logue is very friendly to Bertie, he doesn't care about her occasional temper, nor does he deliberately pay attention to her angry words. He is willing to open his broad mind to Bertie from beginning to end, and he believes that everyone is equal. So he has been guiding Bertie to open up, express emotions, vent dissatisfaction, and realize her true self, so as to see herself and change herself. Through Berti's diligent training, he gradually began to trust Logue and regarded him as a true friend, which is crossing the emotional barrier and making changes. In this friendship, Rogge has always played the role of a listener, which may be the director's design implication: one's identity is an unchangeable and insurmountable hurdle, but the human heart can be changed through communication and exchange.
影片的最后,伯蒂成功战胜了自己,完成了一次非常出色而完美的演讲,这让心理焦虑的国民也得到了安抚。同时也是在启示我们:做出改变之前,别先下定论,尝试着与自己交流,就会有所收获。通过伯蒂与罗格的友谊,我们可以知道生命需要被听见,被看见,希望我们都能倾听、关注、爱身边的每个人
At the end of the film, Bertie successfully defeated herself and delivered a very outstanding and perfect speech, which also comforted the anxious citizens. At the same time, it also enlightens us that before making changes, don't jump to conclusions. Try to communicate with yourself and you will reap rewards. Through the friendship between Bertie and Logue, we can know that life needs to be heard and seen, and we hope that we can all listen, pay attention to, and love everyone around us
