This movie follows King George VI’s journey from a man unable to voice his thoughts to someone who is able to overcome his disability. I would like you to do a little research on King George VI to better understand the socio-political and historical context of the movie.
1. What kind of person was King George VI in real life (not just the movie)?
2. What role did he play in history? Why was he important?
3. So far, do you think the movie is reflecting what your research has told you about his lives?
4. So far, what have you noticed about the intonation of the British and/or Australian characters versus Americans here in the Midwest? Have you noticed other differences in the way they talk?
5. In terms of the culture portrayed here, what have you observed regarding power distance?
