The King's Speech (2010) tells the story of a king who was not supposed to be, at a time when his duties went well beyond looking straight in portraits and waving at crowds while smiling. Remarkable performances by Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush.
Made me think about two different things: (1) the difference between stammering and stuttering; (2) how speech difficulties are learned (after all no one is born with a stammer), what triggers them, the incredible hurdles one has to overcome to fight such problems, and how much a given person is predisposed to involuntarily follow that path.
