Best Scenes Ever - The King's Speech (Final Scene)

[rishi255]

i love how logue seems like hes conducting an orchestra. It fit perfectly because this speech is a brilliant masterpiece to listen to.

[marcocoiatelli]

Wonderful !!!

One of the most important scene in the Cinema !!!

[aaronstennett]

Really do love this scene, really does make me proud to be British! Fantastic juxtapositioning between his own struggle and the struggle the entire nation is about to face <3

[helmuthoorn]

If I were Logue I wouldn't have said ''Very good, Bertie'' at the end of the speech, but I would have taken a bow and say ''Your majesty.''

For I would have been in the presence of true greatness.

[kdum8]

@helmuthoorn Actually in real life Lionel Logue always referred to the King as Your Majesty and never said "Bertie"

[WellingtonOwndU]

"it is unthinkable that we should refuse to meet the challenge" i love that line of the speech.

[1009en]

every time i watch this i get goosebumps, if i don't even cry

<3

[Charlescz14]

GREAT movie !

[yonndoggie17]

wtf, i can never get this scene, what the fuk is he talking about?!?!?!

[Blades2002]

@yonndoggie17 War declared on Germany...World War II

[yonndoggie17]

@Blades2002 oooooh, that makes a little more sense. thax bro



[TheHhiri]

I'm speechless says the bishop..................

[BaileyFlys]

i absolutely loved this movie! and i love how it seems to have spread the awareness of stuttering/stammering. before this came out, most people would just treat me like i was slow once i told them i stuttered... now when i mention it, they're like, "OH! did you see the kings speech!? How'd you like it!!?"

haha i much prefer that over people thinking i'm slow because my speech isnt even close to perfection...

[veromariahfan]

4:45 BEST PART EVER!!!!! it gives me goosebumps!!!!!!

[Cokain3]

2:41 f_ck f_ck f_ck .... i love this scene ... so touching!

[RagingUtai]

Did he ever address the people in public? lol

[mjsalerno]

I suffer stammering like the King and I know his efforts to overcome his problem.

[funnights74]

This piece of music also used in Knowing, that Nicholas Cage film from a few years ago.

[TonicFreestyle]

Then, With gods help, we shall, Prevail.

DALE !

[lamc93]

I absolutely ADORE this film and this is a fantastic scene but I have a question.

You know when Lionel says "You still stammered on the W", when did Bertie stammer on the w? I have watched this scene many times and I can't find when he stammers on it. I know, it's a very stupid question but I would like to know.

[Gazelleracer]

@lamc93 i think he means the moment when he has trouble saying "war", at 2:41

[KristianKronicles]

@lamc93 the best guess I can give is at 2:44 when Bertie was trying to say "We are at war", he took a bit of a pause between "at" and "war".

[1009en]

@lamc93 i heard the real lionel logue said this once, and bertie answered what he says in the film. i think they just let logue say that so that bertie can say "i had to, so they knew it was me" because it's impressive. sorry for my poor english.

[yxuz]

Hitler disliked this

[staceylover77]

@yxuz So did the Kings brother.



[iBlackphone]

I always like to interpret the look of his brother at 4:17 as ''fuck, he's doing that really well now I feel owned''.

Which he is.

lol

[melTorino]

@iBlackphone Definitely owned. What a little bitch. Who the hell abdicates the throne and leaves their home country over some gold digging cunt?

[TheJustCreative]

@melTorino Marriage with Wallis Simpson was only one of two reasons he abdicated. The less important reason.

[melTorino]

@TheJustCreative What was the other one?

[TheJustCreative]

@melTorino He supported Hitler in his views for a long time, he really was pro german. Then of course he realised what Hitler wanted to do.

[TheVoldevie]

@iBlackphone He's better proud

[achrismascarol]

00:32 to 00:35 best line ever!!!

[efexto]

the best scene!!

[mrFrancois2323]

This seen is my favorite vise it chose that the king can speak very well

[richie616799]

Who disliked and why????



[MrThreshold2009]

I had my most embarrassing moment ever during this scene when me and my friends were watching it on DVD night in our uni halls; I'd eaten lots of spicy food and was straining like crazy until I finally lost my battle and did the loudest, most foul smelling fart you can ever imagine. I quickly had to dash to the toilet as I followed through! They still take the piss out of me. LOL!

[flutisticwonder]

There are no words to describe this scene... or this music.

[feetyburgle]

Beethoven's 7th symphony, 2nd movement, you raving idiot.

[olejohnny64]

sorry not handel

[Dan474834]

@olejohnny64 Lol reading those two comments made me laugh so hard.

[olejohnny64]

@Dan474834 LOL i knew i made a mistake when sent it

[olejohnny64]

handel not beethoven



[TheWorldStrider]

Hitler didnt like this speech (1 dislike)

[greenarcangel]

@TheWorldStrider LOL indeed

[SnafuFrank]

@TheWorldStrider Agreed!

[MrMisstr]

Good movie with a good "musıc"

[beatrixsnapefan]

@Pushplayontape It's the second movement of Beethoven's 7th Symphony

[LordCockerSirius]

This music is "Speaking Unto Nations",of Beethoven

[andrewbeeable]

Wonderful. I had a stammer. I still do, of course. One never gets over it. But mine was never as bad as poor Bertie. But, the pale terror on his face is so accurate. And his triumph felt a bit like my first fluent public reading. Thanks Colin, Geoffrey and Lionel.

[adlufc1141]

@andrewbeeable i agree, i suffer too from a stutter that takes alot of effort to try and control. i decided to speak at my best mates funeral, and preyed to him in the toilets 5 mins before i did it asking him to give me strength to say it well. I DID and the feeling Bertie had when everyone clapped after his speech brought back those memories for me. this is one of my favourite scenes of all films : )

[andrewbeeable]

@adlufc1141 Thanks for the reply. It's strange how alot of films "raise awareness" to a disability or affliction, like My Let Foot, or A Beautiful Mind. But this film did very well, but no endorsement by any famous stammerers. Bruce Willis and Harvey Keitel were both afflicted. Glad you spoke at the funereal. Well done.:)

[andrewbeeable]

Wonderful. I had a stammer. I still do, of course. One never gets over it. But mine was never as bad as poor Bertie. But, the pale terror on his face is so accurate. And his trioumph felt a bit like my first fluent public reading. Thanks Colin, Geoffrey and Lionel.

[JonRomichMatulandi]

Best scene ever! It chilled me. Bravo!

[KristianKronicles]

This movie is already, in my opinion, the greatest movie made inthe new millenium so far. And I find my admiration for this masterpeice grows everytime I watch this. I imagine that in a year's time, I may consider this the greatest movie ever made.

[cheeseandpineappl100]

what is this music??

[sag1101]

@cheeseandpineappl100 The great, the one and only BEETHOVEN

[makn0]

@cheeseandpineappl100

the great Ludwig Van Beethoven - 7th Symphony Second Mouvement.

[kirk93814]

The one dislike should be taken to the tower!

[msmsbeth]

this scene made me quite teary the first time I saw it lol

[jandorus]

GO ENGLAND!

[ShovelHorse]

He reminds me of Kennedy

[KristianKronicles]

I watched this with subtitles last night, and I was shocked when at the 2:41, the subtitles said "Fuck fuck fuck fuck". But then again, makes perfect sense since curse words was a greatly effective strategy Logue and Bertie used.

[BerkleyMark]

This is so beautifully done! :'-( Thank you very much for sharing this with us, SDuplic! :-)

[Joaquin602001]

It was this scene that made me rediscover classical.

[anglaise992]

I love how Logue beggins directing him, and after a while he becomes another listener, another person listening to his king.... it is so amazing

[jzd4rma1]

They should play this music during an exam

[JaliscoDeOjosHazel]

Geoffrey Rush must have won the Oscar as supporting actor... his interpretation as Lionel Logue is flawless...:D beautiful scene... beautiful movie... Colin Firth is sublime as King George VI; no wonder he won the Oscar.

[giozu]

Or Not ?

[giozu]

2:01 : Tom Hooper's Cameo

[CymruAlteran]

did anyone else clap after the speech and didnt realise they were doing it? xD

[NihonloveFTail]

amazing scene

but...

the best scene ever is the opening of the godfather

[Illidan360]

@NihonloveFTail That's not the best... that's your favorite. Still a great scene

[mikilla25]

This is truly beautiful.



[Joaquin602001]

"You still stammered on the 'w'."

"I had to throw in a few... so they knew it was me."

[ItsEchoHere]

only video on utube without the most liked comment being ___ peoples are justin beiber or somert along those lines. i wonder why?

[tarek01121987]

I love this movie, it has a special meaning to me as I stutter too (thankfully not that badly). It helped me not hesitate when I want to voice my thoughts and opinions.

[iraklikorkia]

we need another Oscar for Beethoven!

[DeMonfa13]

@iraklikorkia so true!

[Ocongate]

@iraklikorkia Definitely. The dramatism, the obscurity beyond and the spirits rising between humans that find themselves tiny but resolved before an inmense calling.

[sansam25]

Beautiful scene..music so fitting!

[zolochnaya]

@sansam25 It's called The Emperor Concerto

[montblanc7191]

Wonderful combination with the music of Beethoven's 7th Symphony. the allegretto

[mc0558]

Not just a speech, of course. This is the opening salvo of World War II and 6 years of conflict that will cost the lives of missions.

[mc0558]

I suppose when Logue says "knighthood" he is only confirming The King's suspicion that people are only my friend for what they can get out of me. The bane of the rich and powerful

[mc0558]

"Knighthood" -- No! He's not that grateful to you, Logue. Nor is he that good of a friend! Never place your hopes in Kings!

[ranamuhammadatif]

This is not the best scene. The best scene is when Geoffrey Rush sits on the throne and Colin firth yells at him without stammering.

[mc0558]

@ranamuhammadatif It's not "the" throne. It's St. Edward's chair, the chair of Edward the Confessor who died about 1060. Underneath the seat is the Stone of Scone, reputedy Jacob's pillow, a sacred stone that traditions has it links the kings of Ireland, Scotland and England with the kings of the Jewish Old Testament. It is on this chair that kings are crowned, and then it's never used again. It's on display at Westminster Abbey if you ever visit London and wish to see it.

[ranamuhammadatif]

@mc0558 Thanks for correcting me. I think you will agree that you get a shock followed by a burst of laughter when you see Geoffrey Rush seated so shamelessly on that coronation chair.

[mc0558]

@ranamuhammadatif I don't know what they have done with it now--famous films tend to transform the items they focus on, but St. Edward's Chairs used to be an old piece of furniture in a corner of the Abbey with a rope to prevent you sitting on it. (Before "Gladiator", the Colosseum was a ruin you just ambled into. Suddenly, an entry fee was slapped on and it became all up-market.) So Logue's sitting on SEC didn't seem odd to me. If Br has 1 throne, it must be the 1 in the House of Lords.

[mc0558]

The King said "depth of feeling". "Depth for feeling" is Mr. Firth's mistake.

[cnutfcucker]

the music makes it for me

[mc0558]

He is in tears at the end of the speech and I think not because of the stress of delivering it but because of what it meant for the life of the British people, the Empire and Commonwealth. Firth is a damned good actor.

[mc0558]

Mr. Logue was not a great success until the Duchess of York, later HM Queen Elizabeth, chose him to help her husband with his stammering. The film shows the benefit this brought to him and his family. I fear that Mr. Logue needed to imagine himself The King's friend and The King was too kind to disabuse him of this belief. The difference between the two men were simply to great for friendship that social-economic equals share to have taken place.Everything was so different, from cuisine to dress

[mc0558]

But Logue never received a knighthood, and that speaks volumes about The King's estimation of him.

[LordApocalypse7]

@mc0558 Logue received a very high rank actually.

[1985eleniathens]

@mc0558 The King personally recognised his friendship and gratitude to Logue by appointing him to the Royal Victorian Order, first making Logue a member (MVO) in time for his coronation, on 11 May 1937 and later elevating him to commander (CVO) in 1944.

[KristianKronicles]

@mc0558 He didn't get knighted. He got the kind of honor knighted people would kill to receive.

[MoFyaah]

Its hardly a masterpiece.

[mc0558]

@MoFyaah look at it a few more times. you pick up more nuances that come across on a first viewing. but yes, I suppose you are right ---not a masterpiece.

[MoFyaah]

@mc0558 I saw it once & thats enough..don't get me wrong its not crap...its simply average...world didn't gain anything with it..the directing is so average, basic directing with no flaw but with no dare too..first few shots tell you everything...the way this story goes...for expl at the beginning when they are not relaxed with one another you see Louge on one side of the screen and King on the other, non stop..as they grow closer they start moving towards the center of the screen. Predictable!

[mc0558]

@MoFyaah Does the world ever gain anything from cinema? I think it is a remarkably superficial medium, which is why great literature never translates at an equal level into film. Film must strive for subtlety. On that basis, except for the odd exception, I would argue that this film is as good as any other Oscar winner.

[MoFyaah]

@mc0558 I don't know about you but I did...if the film is good of course...Literature is one thing and film is a different thing and to call either one of those expressions superficial is naive...there are films and there are films, you just have to choose for yourself..personally I gained from both, literature and films, equally. Films are for sure my greatest passion and love...

[mc0558]

@MoFyaah No, I gain from literature more than films. The only so-called great work of literature that was better in flim than on the written page is Gallworthy's "Forsythe Saga".

[MoFyaah]

@mc0558 the one that was equally good in written and in on screen interpretation was Fight Club..if not even better on screen...p.s. I am not arguing which one is better...I love both! :)

[Veredei]

Knighthood?

One of the most awesome scenes ever :)
