Of The Kings Speech

Metzingen Hey?

I went to see The King's Speech last night. It's a great film and portrays so well just how terrifying it must be for people who stutter (and even those who don't but just fear public speaking) to have to speak in front of large audiences.

For poor Kind George IV it must have been especially bad. Radio had just been invented (but broadcasts had to be live) . The war had started and Britain needed a great authority figure and he was on the throne alongside Churchill a master of radio communication and speeches. Bummer Kind George...
