杰瑞发布于03 Dec 15:58

England's Prince Albert (Colin Firth) must ascend the throne as King George VI, but he has a speech impediment. Knowing that the country needs her husband to be able to communicate effectively, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter) hires Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), an Australian actor and speech therapist, to help him overcome his stammer. An extraordinary friendship develops between the two men, as Logue uses unconventional means to teach the monarch how to speak with confidence.

OPEN ON:
1 INT. BATHROOM, YORK HOUSE, LONDON - DAY (MID-1930'S) 1 A shimmering surface of cold water - held in an immense, free standing, white enamelled bathtub with gilded lion's legs - bulges in SLOW MOTION to the chords of Handel's "Trumpet Volunteer".
A head emerges.
White gloved hands, in livery, rush to envelope the surfacing naked wet body in white towels.
2 INT. DRESSING CHAMBER, YORK HOUSE - DAY 2 The ritual continues with crisp military precision.
CLOSE ON the Royal Coat Of Arms stamped in gold: lion and unicorn embrace a shield divided into four quarters with harp, thistle, and more lions denoting England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The shield is surmounted by a crown.
This emblem is on a cuff-link fastened on a starched white shirt.
Trousers, pressed to a knife-edge, are held for stockinged feet and gartered legs to be inserted.
Mirror-polished boots are laced tight.
Jacket, held ready. Arms, shoulders, chest received.
Glistening medals attached to front of jacket create a dazzling field of ribbons and medallions.
Epaulets, edged with gold braid tassels, are adjusted.
Polished buttons are fastened.
Multi-coloured collar clasped shut.
White ostrich feathers, topping a tri-corner hat, are fluffed and placed upon brilliantined hair.
PAN DOWN to the handsome features of Albert, Duke of York, known to his family as BERTIE. He's in his late thirties, the second son of King George V, the reigning King of England. He conveys a sensitivity which appears in conflict with the manner in which he's been bedecked.
Reflected in a full length mirror, Bertie tells himself: TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 3.
BERTIE:
You look like a Christmas tree.
He smiles wanly.
3 EXT. INNER COURTYARD, YORK HOUSE, 145 PICADILLY - DAY 3 THE ROYAL STANDARD flaps atop a gleaming chrome grill.
Liveried footmen open the doors of a stately Austin Princess.
Bertie exits York House with his young wife - ELIZABETH - considered by all to be one of the loveliest women in the land, truly an English rose. Golden Labradors and Corgis appear from all directions, weaving between them, barking boisterously, creating a happy chaos.
Elizabeth and Bertie glance upwards and wave.
Two little girls, LILIBET and MARGARET ROSE, aged eight and four, wave back from their nursery window.
4 INT/EXT. AUSTIN PRINCESS, HYDE PARK CORNER - DAY 4 Bertie nervously lights a cigarette. Elizabeth pats his hand.
ELIZABETH: Buck up, Bertie. The BBC said it wouldn't rain.
