The Kings Speech This film is one of the best films produced in 2010, its clever recollection of both a episode in history and a very personal story the two blend perfectly and create one of the best dramatizations of a historical event ever made. The feeling each and every actor put into the film is incredible and makes you feel like its the first time they have felt the effects of the events, rather than the act they play. The director does a tremendous job at creating an atmosphere that even though this film is set in the 1930’s feels like it is happening in today’s society.

Their relationship is an interesting layer to the film the delicate balance of Albert being King(royal) and Lionel(commoner) is cleverly portrayed with the Lionel pushing boundaries and challenging him. We see the makings of a true friendship.
You would think that seeing a bunch of verbal drills and speech exercises would be boring and put a real dull on the movie. there are a lot of them and they are silly, but are the right amount of funny to get a good laugh out of them. The humour in the film is subtle but straight up, even when Lionel encourages His Royal Highness to use swear words of the four- letter variety as a way to connect the words of a speech that he has a hard time getting out. and I couldn’t help but laugh when I listened to a member of the royal family

Living in a world which people judge on people’s appearance is an unfair judgment towards the person due to the fact of not knowing who that person is.

This film influenced me greatly and how I might be able to go about in my speech making. James Farmer Jr. and his debate team delivered their speeches with a lot of emotion, drawing their audiences in on their side. James Farmer used his own experiences and struggles to drive his speech making, while trying to prove himself to everyone that he was not just a child. Although James Farmer and I are different, especially in the way we present our speeches, I admired the way he used his knowledge and emotions to help win the last debate

In Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, he elaborates on the injustices that were wildly plaguing America in the year 1963.

Before the year 1963, President Abraham Lincoln was the last person to make such an impact in the equal treatment of all people, so for about 100 years, blacks had no one to back them in their fight for equal treatment.

“I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character,” Martin Luther King Jr. said this in his “I Have A Dream Speech” in 1963.
