No one is protected from serious problems; even material possessions and social status can not be a guarantee against life hardships. This simple truth is proved by the examples of many outstanding people who had their own ‘thorn in the flesh’. For instance, King George VI had a psychological disorder that caused stammering. His experience served as a plot of one of the best films of 2011 called “The King’s Speech”. Among the important lessons, that this inspiring piece of director’s art teaches the audience, is that no one can expect to have unproblematic life in case he or she has a lot of money and many powerful people around. In addition, the film encourages people who have faced serious difficulty to fight for their well-being just as the King did because this is the way to success in overcoming any possible problem. “The King’s Speech” is definitely a source of inspiring thoughts and important lessons for all those who have faced serious difficulty in their life. This is so for two main reasons. First, this film is the answer for those who believe that real-life problems are the fate of poor and afflicted people. The example of the main film’s protagonist, King George VI, who is not nearly a pauper or a skint bum, shows that anyone can face the problem that is stronger than his or her material and social status, and, thus, can be only conquered by means of serious efforts, constant work, and qualified help from others (Howell 7). Secondly, this film shows how exactly a serious hardship may become a matter of the past in case the affected person does not give up, but does one’s best instead. The film had a great impact on the public, and I was not an exception. I was especially impressed by the excellent play of Colin Firth who managed to reveal the extent of the King’s problem to the public. After the film, I was encouraged to really think how difficult it had been for the King to speak publicly on the reason for his stammer problem. Besides, that was a very difficult period for the country when soldiers and common people needed encouragement from their king, and politicians wanted a clear reaction from the leader of one of the most important states in the world arena. In such a period of time, the new king was not able to express himself distinctly. That was definitely a tragedy for the young monarch. I also thought about the fact that people with stammer had always been laughed at. How difficult it had been for such an exalted person as the King of Great Britain to suffer from mockery on the reason of his twist of the tongue. Meditating about all these points, I realized that hardships could come to anyone’s life, but that would not mean the end; rather than that, those who face troubles should not give up. In conclusion, it is important to remember that at any time, anyone may suffer from a serious problem. The example of King George VI shown in “The King’s Speech” movie proves this simple truth. In addition, this great and inspiring piece of art, featuring a row of true historical details and incredible actor play, helps understand that having a problem is not a reason to give up, but it is a strong ground for an individual to be perseve
