@@calliefinck6275 In those days the children of the royal family were raised by caretakers, like nannies, and the parents would only see their children between 1 and 3 times a day for a limited amount of time.

I'm not condoning anything that happened to him, far from it. But it is peculiar sometimes to see how terrible things end up serving a greater good (in spite of themsevles).
This is such a perfect and heart-wrenching scene, all of these things, the royalty was so buried in tradition, King George V's ardent and old-fashioned belief that he had to be this distant, angry, almost scary person to them, the kids would know he loved them, but only just, plus the braces on the legs, and being forced to change how he wrote, (left-handed was uncommon, informal, something a member of royalty could NEVER be) and of course the abuse that came from his nanny as little more than an infant. This is when we learn, that would make a kid stammer.
The audio wasn't great... But I heard that the 1st nanny would pinch him, hand him back to his mother crying? What is the point of doing that? Also, if I'm not mistaken he says that his nanny would refuse to feed him.
@@tnganthavee100 The nanny would pinch him because she knew Bertie's mother would hand him right back if he was crying. From the time he was born no one comforted him or made him feel loved. He had no affection whatsoever. He only knew cruelty at the hands of his abusive nanny. Followed by more cruelty at the hands of his brother and father once he was older.
He did in fact say that, but still a decent one all around. George V broke the chain of unfaithfulness and remained loyal to his wife Mary. This monogamy carried on...until Charles of course.
It's true as well, Edward VII and George V were horrible in that respect. I fail to understand why any father would ever want that sort of relationship with his children.... It's only too fortunate that Bertie came out as such a loving dad by comparison.
I myself have epilepsy and this part made me cry. Little Johnnie was epileptic and perhaps had autism. Despite his condition and limitations on life he was a happy little boy who was close to his siblings, Albert more than David. Apparently David may have written cruel letters about him to Queen Mary but they are lost, only the apology letters remain.
The way he described the death of his brother Johnny was accurate. People with epilepsy especially back then were seen as demonic and were feared even today. "He was hidden from view, I'm told it's not catching." Having seizures in front of people is something that no one wants because of the stigma and that's way he was hidden from view. He was probably always alone
It's thought that Prince John may also have been Autistic. He apparently had a "household", but was "kept" separate from the rest of his family, and away from the public.
This scene is so deeply moving, yeah.....but, I was taken by the whole grasp performance of Colin in this movie! He's such an gifted actor, and the oscar was highly deserved for this brilliant performance. - well done Colin!!! And well done Geoffrey as well - he' d deserved an oscar as well, as brilliant Lionel Louge... ...and thanks for uploading smartiex90
What a wonderful scene. The empathy of Lionel… sensitive in his inquiry, not pushing too hard because he wants to help Bertie, not just pry and uncover painful memories for the sake of it. The fact that he almost cries due to the cruelty Bertie suffered, but keeps his emotions in check because he knows it’s important to remain calm so that Bertie feels comfortable sharing…
Just the idea of parents having "daily viewings" where they see their children for like an hour and then fuck off again seems so bizarre. I know it was the custom and the tradition, but it seems weird that a mother or father could put themselves through that willingly, even insist on it.
Great movie and scene. Brought a lot of emotion up. Mood changing scene if I may add. Could be better quality here but still worth watching such a emotional part of a fantastic film!
The fact that stuttering is almost always inflicted on the stutterer by those closest makes it all the more painful. A feedback loop the stutterer is unable to resist due to power dynamics!
"far far away...." I don't get this part.. did she move far away? did she not feed him because he was far away? WHAT OR WHERE etc. is "far far away" and what relevance does it have with her not feeding him??!?! -_- Haalpp!! I've just legitimately confused & fckd this ish all the way up..... .-.
MadieOn TheRox1991 he was supposed to sing every time he felt he would stammer to make the pronounciation easier, so he uses it ironically here in an angry kind of way...

he was a prince of England and he was treated like garbage by a nanny and his parents didn't notice until three years later, ridiculous

One of the most heartbreaking and well acted scenes

Anony Mous don't you think it would have been eaiser for him to be courageous if he had had a stable childhood rather than a soul-crushing one?

@@deramax123 Somestimes you became strong through your difficulties.
what an amazing scene, i get emotinal everytime... all i see is a broken child playing with his toy...
Yep. A big whining baby playing with his toy.
@arriuscalpurniuspiso ah yes an abused child who managed to develop trauma later in life

Maybe they should not have inbred. Maybe that's why they have all these defects
Wonder why prince George wasn't mentioned?
"I was afraid of my father and.. my children are.. damn well gonna be afraid of me!"
Fucking hell, that's awful.
Thankfully he stopped that trend with his children. He was a much better father than Edward VII or George V
He did in fact say that, but still a decent one all around. George V broke the chain of unfaithfulness and remained loyal to his wife Mary. This monogamy carried on...until Charles of course.

what a powerful scene. It draws you in to where you are mesmerized and don't want it to end. one of the best movies.
The way he speaks about Johnny...
That is a very sad story they did a TV movie on the BBC called the lost Prince ruclips.net/video/WRKUseWpJPE/видео.html its a good watch

Did George VI feel the loss of prince Joh ?
“What are friends for?”
“I wouldn’t know!”
I heard I woudn't dare.
That line broke my heart a bit cuz you can see the hurt/sadness in Lionel's face after that and cuz Berty never had anyone he could call a friend

Why isnt this scene uploaded appropriately on youtube? This is the scene that got colin firth the oscar.
Best role Colin firth ever played
Maybe for copywrite reasons it keeps getting taken down.

Tom hooper should be remembered for this & not Cats , it shows how someone can be capable of absolute brilliance & utter idiocy
He said he wants to do a much smaller project post-Cats (and post-COVID-19). I think it might be best for him.

Best scene in the hole movie, Colin Firth a true artist

I'm glad they had him mention his youngest brother John
I could see the sickness in the doctors face,, such good acting
"I have to keep doing this, it's your fault."
I had to write an essay on this movie for my first year english class and this scene helped me a great deal!!! thank you soooo much!
this scene made me cry
Brilliant scene
These movies almost make it seem like there's a value to all this "human existence" stuff.
Maybe you have no empathy
I'm left handed and I'm so grateful its accepted now, my grandpa was made to write with his right hand and developed a slight stutter.
"Then she wouldn't feed me, far far away"...

this moment is so heartbreaking
He called him Lionel........very touching.
Im in the same situation as bertie now..its really painful..cant go down cz of reputation, cant go up bcz of fear n anxieties
@MalescoM Just hearing those words with the touching musical score makes me cry.
There's a TV miniseries about Bertie's brother John called THE LOST PRINCE starring Miranda Richardson as Queen Mary.
I remember that,
