This is one of my favorite movies. Well written, directed, and performed in every aspect, masterfully presenting the themes of perseverance and courage, friendship and loyalty, and trust and devotion we all need and can provide one another as we face our unique weaknesses and difficulties whatever our station in and era of life. Favorite quote:
King George VI: Listen to me. *Listen to me!*
Lionel Logue: Listen to you? By what right?
King George VI: By divine right if you must, I am your king.
Lionel Logue: No you're not, you told me so yourself. You didn't want it. Why should I waste my time listening?
King George VI: Because I have a right to be heard. I have a voice!
Lionel Logue: [pauses] Yes, you do.
[Longer pause]
Lionel Logue: You have such perseverance Bertie, you're the bravest man I know.
