2021-08-04 "Compared to George VI's position, it's a piece of cake." [長年日記]

"The King's Speech" is one of my favorite movies of all time.

It is about the friendship between King George VI of England, who suffered from a stutter, and the speech therapist, a commoner from Australia, who treated him

I think I've rewatched it about 10 times now, especially the closing scene of the radio broadcast of the war between Britain and Germany.

-----

Right now, Amazon Prime has both subtitled and dubbed versions of the film released.

The Japanese dubbing is not bad, but I prefer the subtitled version (in English).

The desperate speech of the King of England, who suffered from a stutter, is well conveyed.

Personally (as an engineer), I also like the scene where many broadcast engineers are adjusting their machines to convey the King's speech to the whole of Britain.

"Compared to George VI's position, it's a piece of cake."

I told myself, and presented my bullshit English at the conference presentation on Zoom webinar.

Next month, I will have to show it off again.

Anyway, I am sincerely grateful for my birth as a selfish folk weed, not linked to the imperial family and without a title.
