There are many characters in the many movies that have been watched within the class. These characters can overall be found being determine and a dynamic kind of person throughout the film. Of course the one character that I thought stood out for me is King George the VI, from The King’s Speech. King George VI is trouble speaking, determine with his current situation, and willing to give things a try.
King George VI have always had the trouble of speaking up, whether it is a speech to an individual or group, and even to go against someone. He just stutters. This stuttering of course came to be when he was still little; he was afraid actually, to start out with. But with a little push of support from his wife and his friend the therapist, he was able to speak up and be so ever strong. 
There were times when King George VI did not think that such treatment would ever help him recover from his stuttering. But due to wanting to do what’s right for the country and for himself, he then of course did whatever exercise the therapist told him to do. King George VI did bail out, but he still stuck with the therapist. He didn’t know at all of how the results would be but he still was determined to get his voice back in place.
Overall, King George was willing to give things a try. Even though the therapist was telling him to do weird and maybe even unnecessary exercises, such as talking like singing, he still gave it a try. He doesn’t want to, but to prove the therapist wrong, he went up with the challenge. Going up with these exercise, King George learns that there is and can be a possible positive outcome of his voice, but yet he was also nervous.
To tie King George VI in the cultural brigde, I compare myself to him as almost similar, but in different circumstances. With how King George VI’s speaking ability in the beginning, it’s reminds me of myself, since I also have a weak public speaking skills. But of course after having done some practices I’ve improved bits by bits; not so much but enough to also see results. Within the film, I see that he’s determined to speak, speak better. And with that, I also found myself to want to speak better, since I know that I can speak, and that I have a voice too in me. Not only that but, the way that King George VI was willing to try also reminded myself of myself. I was told to try anything no matter what, cause sometimes it is just good to try and overcome any fear that, that “thing”, whether it is food, bungee jumping, snowboarding, swimming, or learning to drive a car, there will be a result, a good one too, to learn of yourself.
