Still giddy from a long chain of merry-making events (see Christmas time), we come back to duty, self-discipline and honest resolutions to become one’s best with a sense of disorientation.
Perhaps that’s exactly what ailed this man in History and in this film I’m introducing to you today. Perhaps he was just disoriented. He didn’t know his whereabouts in society and why he was plunged into public view when he was clearly cut out for other way of life entirely.
THE KING’S SPEECH tells the story of the man who became King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II. After his brother abdicates, George ('Bertie') reluctantly assumes the throne. Plagued by a dreaded stammer and considered unfit to be king, Bertie engages the help of an unorthodox speech therapist named Lionel Logue. Through a set of unexpected techniques, and as a result of an unlikely friendship, Bertie is able to find his voice and boldly lead the country through war.

Do you ever feel out of sorts? Do you ever think that you should be elsewhere? Sometimes your role in life is just a question of geography.
