Movie Analysis: The Kings Speech.

Self-Concept

Peers. King George was influenced by his peers who encouraged him to try perfecting

his speech skills through following on of a great teacher Lionel Logue. George had a low self-

esteem and at first. He felt frustrated especially when he visited the speech specialist, Lionel. He

was characterized with attributes of impatience to learn and perfect his skills. However, he made

an effort to visit his therapist, where he opened up and became friends. Logue challenged George

to self-actualization as he perfected his skills.

Self. King George’s friendship with Logue smoothed his treatment process and opened

him to positive thoughts. George later realized that his master, Logue was not initially qualified

for the position he occupied. The latter prompted George to retaliate his collaborators. The action

helped King George to develop the art of communicating effectively and efficiently.

Significant Others. King Georges wife, Elizabeth was very supportive to George’s

objectives. She always gave him positive comments on his eloquence improvements. His son

also was very supportive. The family created a conducive environment for George to improve on

his skills. His wife also encourages him to visit Logue to give him instruction to avert possible

errors such as stammering. Logue encouraged him to recite the speech on his presence, which

helped him improve on his eloquence.

Culture. The elite culture of United Kingdom was accustomed with communicating in

English. King George being part of the royalty, he was therefore supposed to read his speech in

English to the public. The effect pushed him to better his public speaking skills to match those of

the elite class.

Feedback Examples

The first example is the encounter between Bertie (King George) and the therapist

(Lionel Logue). They played Logue’s recording and Bertie was surprised with the eloquence of

the therapist. Logue read with clarity and incessantly. Bertie was impressed and signed up for the

therapy classes to better his public speaking.

The second example is the confrontation of King George and Lionel Logue at the

coronation rehearsal. The king confronted Logue about his therapist credentials. In the middle of

the dialogue, Logue sat on the Kings seat. The event upset King George and yelled “I have a

voice”. The therapist reacted “Yes, you do”. The happenings reaffirmed to King George that he

had the capacity to take over the throne due to his improving eloquence.

Self-Disclosure Examples

Lionel Logue’s confession to King George is the first example is the first example of

self-disclosure. Logue’s opened up to the King that he was an actor and not a therapist. However,

he had a passion of helping individual like the King to help them communicate eloquently.

Logue was a speech and language specialist. His experience as a therapist grew from helping

soldiers with trauma after war. He devised nonconformist mechanisms to help them speak

eloquently.

Second example of self-disclosure is when Lionel Logue revealed to his wife that King

George was his patient. Logue had concealed the therapy classes of the King George. No

member or friend knew about the same. When Logue’s wife found the queen in their dining

room one morning, Lionel had to reveal to her the secret of the King’s classes.
