THE KING'S SPEECH---OSCAR    WINNER

 

 

A lot of stories are about friendship and courage. They have been told in many different ways. It is just something that people need to be told from time to time that perhaps people would grow bored of it. Well, director Tom Hooper’s The King’s Speech, a historical movie about the British royal family, won the Oscar on 27^th, February, 2011. The movie tells about the true story of a King George VI and it also tells the story of a friendship between the king and his doctor. They find something special about the word “courage”.

    Just as the name of the movie, the story was simple but moving. Maybe The King’s Speech is just an ordinary story, though it won the Oscar. Throughout the honored movies in Oscar’s these years, it’s not difficult to find out that they seldom follow a traditional Hollywood way. The traditional way of Hollywood means shiny actors, famous director, a lot of money, 3D technology or something else.

With the development of technology, our native movies prefer to follow the traditional Hollywood way. But the results were the decrease of the good comments(评论). What can we learn from that? The standard(标准) for a good movie is not how well- known the actor is, how famous the director is, or how eye-catching the usage of the special skills are, but the connotation(内涵) or the theme the movie includes!

1.Is The King’s Speech about friendship and courage?

2. When did The King’s Speech win the Oscar?

3. What does the traditional way of Hollywood mean?

4.Which is more important to a good movie, famous actor or the theme the movie includes?

Wonder why you can get angry so easily while your friend smiles all the time? It’s probably because you both have different personalities(个性).

Personality is also about how people think, behave, and react (反应) to everything around them from day to day.

So what makes people think and behave in certain ways?

Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets its blood type, genes (基因) and other physical things when it’s still inside its mother. These things may help decide what the baby will be like.

But one’s personality doesn’t stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. This doesn’t mean it’s impossible to change your personality. You can always try to make yourself better. Don’t get too worried about your shortcomings (缺点). Just accept them. This is a good way to start making changes.

If you don’t know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you’re too shy? Tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people using warm greetings.

Don’t give yourself a hard time about it all. It’s not easy to change lifelong habits in one night. Keep working at it. One day you’ll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you!
