The King's Speech

I've been expecting this film for a long time. It has really gained its own reputation in the past days. So, finally, I got a chance to watch it this evening. Have to say, it is a bloody good film. No wonder that the Queen said she's been moved. 
I've no idea why others like this film and why the Queen was moved by it. What I figured out why I appreciate it is that it didn't only tell a story about how a king learned to make successful speech, but how a man managed to conflict with himself and was finally able to take the huge responsibility--to lead his country and his people.
Everyone has this or that weakness and was taught to conquer them in the process of growing. Some succeeded, while some failed. Sometimes one just forgot the suffer and let it go, but some other times the scar was deeply planted in one's heart, and tortured one from time to time, especially when one faced some conflicts. This is so called "self fear" in psychology. In order to get through, to make it, one has to fight, what's more important, to fight with this fear. Only when one succeed defeating this fear of self, he or she can move on and be successful, not necessarily wealthy and powerful, but with self-confidence and inner peace.
I guess that's what I learned from the wonderful movie. One's biggest success is to conquer oneself.
