Last night I saw The King's Speech, starring Colin Firth. He was exceptional and so was Geoffrey Rush as his speech teacher, Lionel Logue. The movie depicted a great man who had to deal with his fear of stuttering. King George VI rose to the occasion and gave the speech of his lifetime, announcing Britain had entered the war against Germany and he didn't stutter. I think everyone in the theatre identified with him. I know I did. It reminded me of being diagnosed with prostate cancer, getting something I didn't want, knowing I had to deal with it, and doing the best I could. What fear have you overcome?Friday, January 7, 2011
