Interesting; Bertie referred to Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany as "Cousin Wilhelm," but he called Nicholas II of Russia "The Russian Czar" even though Nicholas was their uncle or second cousin or something like that.
I'm thinking that "kinging" is going to be the answer to all questions from now on. After all, it's such an eloquent response ;) Forget about 'winning', 'kinging' is where it's at!
There is every sign that "David" NEVER understood the menace that Hitler DID represent and communism did NOT for an intrinsically democratic and strong country like the UK.
@mc0558 To be fair, this was at a point in history when people didn't realize just how bad Hitler was, coupled with the fact that WWI was fresh in everyone's mind, nobody wanted to risk another war.
Thumbs up for Mr. Firth doing an extraordinary performance. Dunno if best movie. Sure know best actor. the others were gret but nothing compares to such a role in a lifetime. Nuff said.
It would depend on what he was feeling at the that moment. To be the stutter person has can share similaritties, but is also individual based. I'm speaking from experience. I'm a stutter. I know what it's like when you feel you get your words out all because of how someone would react to you. I used to be teased for it. Bertie has all these things he wants to say, but feels he can't because of the way David treats him. More than anything else, he's letting his fear get to him.
@DuchessAliana In reality, George VI could fly into a rage that was dangerous to him as well as to everyone else. Apparently, the only one who knew how to deal with it was his wife.

@2wingo Czar Nicholas was also a first cousin to George V but through their mothers (both Danish princesses, I believe)

Yeah...a guy who refers to acting as the monarch as "kinging" probably shouldn't be in that position.

@DuchessAliana I agree with you. If you don't take the institution seriously, you soundn't be in it.

@lowtts he stammered just minutes later. David began to taunt/tease him, Albert could barely get a sound out.

@lowtts He was angry. Whenever Bertie was angry he wouldn't stammer (see swearing scene for reference :P).
