English Summary:

The 2011 Academy Award winner for Best Picture, The King's Speech, has taken the world by storm. The Man Behind the King's Speech is the true story of the man who never wished to be the King of England and how he overcame his personal limitations to save a nation. Featuring original contributions from Colin Firth and director Tom Hooper (The King's Speech) as well as the grandson of Lionel Logue, the King's speech therapist, this feature-length documentary contains original footage of King George VI's reign, including the King's coronation speech and his brother's abdication during the onset of war. The Man Behind the King's Speech is an in-depth look into the moving story that's gripped the world.

Discover the true story of an introverted man who reluctantly became King of England during the onset of World War II. The documentary King George VI: The Man Behind The King’s Speech features original contributions from The King’s Speech director Tom Hooper and actor Colin Firth, who portrayed King George VI in the film, providing insight into the life of a humble man who overcame his own demons for the sake of his nation.

The King's Speech is a 2010 British historical drama film directed by Tom Hooper and written by David Seidler. Colin Firth plays the future King George VI who, to cope with a stammer, sees Lionel Logue, an Australian speech and language therapist played by Geoffrey Rush. The men become friends as they work together, and after his brother abdicates the throne, the new king relies on Logue to help him make his first wartime radio broadcast upon Britain's declaration of war on Germany in 1939.

Seidler read about George VI's life after learning to manage a stuttering condition he developed during his own youth. He started writing about the relationship between the therapist and his royal patient as early as the 1980s, but at the request of the King's widow, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, postponed work until her death in 2002. He later rewrote his screenplay for the stage to focus on the essential relationship between the two protagonists. Nine weeks before filming began, Logue's notebooks were discovered and quotations from them were incorporated into the script.

Principal photography took place in London and around Britain from November 2009 to January 2010. Hard light was used to give the story a greater resonance and wider-than-normal lenses were employed to recreate the Duke of York's feelings of constriction. A third technique Hooper employed was the off-centre framing of characters.
