Quem acompanha esse blog não tem dúvidas de que eu torço descaradamente para o Colin Firth na corrida pelo Oscar de melhor ator. Acho que em O Discurso do Rei ele conquista até quem não tem o coração mole como o meu.
A performance como George VI não me surpreende, mas emociona muito principalmente nessa cena:
King George VI: What are you doing? Get up! You can’t sit there! GET UP!
Lionel Logue: Why not? It’s a chair.
King George VI: No, that. It is not a chair. T-that… that is Saint Edward’s chair.
Lionel Logue: People have carved their names on it.
King George VI: That… chair… is the seat on which every king and queen has… That is the Stone of Scone you ah-are trivializing everything. You trivialize…
Lionel Logue: It’s held in place by a large rock. I don’t care about how many royal arseholes have sat in this chair.
King George VI: Listen to me. *Listen to me!*
Lionel Logue: Listen to you? By what right?
King George VI: By divine right if you must, I am your king.
Lionel Logue: No you’re not, you told me so yourself. You didn’t want it. Why should I waste my time listening?
King George VI: Because I have a right to be heard. I have a voice!
Lionel Logue: Yes, you do.
