This is a good question for movie fans, but not only, it is also an interesting starting point for those who deal with social problems associated with psycho-motor delays at different heights.
The film of King's speech has won many awards over the last edition of the Oscars, the ceremony was 83rd held last February 27 in Los Angeles, the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. The film has received for the occasion the Oscar for best film of the year but also the Academy Award for Best Director (Tom Hooper) and Best Actor (Colin Firth) and seven Golden Globes for best actor ever. This is a historical narrative, where the protagonist Colin Firth plays the part of Prince Albert, Duke of York. This prince has a particular problem, it is stuttering and overcome this disorder is aimed at Lionel Logue, played by Geoffrey Rush, a strange and original care therapist for stuttering The speeches by the king and his difficulties of speech disturb audience during his public appearances. The prince then try different therapists in the course of his life, but they all reveal failures. Only Australian therapist Lionel Logue, suggested by the Duchess, can make a difference, its alternative treatments and procedures from the first lesson has paid off. Like when you read him a piece stretch dall'Amleto while hearing a piece of Mozart and recording his voice.
This was a very hard work from the beginning there were problems, but progress is evident and Logel finds and uncovers the psychological roots of stuttering, particularly Prince reveals some important events of his childhood: his father was very severe repression of its tendency to be left-handed and other traumatic events of its past as the death of his younger brother, Prince John. Logue and the prince soon become friends and continues to successfully treat stuttering. This is just the beginning of the movie but it is enough to confirm that when it comes to language disorders and similar problems in a film's success is assured.
Another example is the story of Forrest Gump, an American comedy of the early 90s, based on the book by Winston Groom. Here too, the protagonist Forrest Gump, played by a talented Tom Hanks, has language disorders and in this case also has mental retardation and physical problems. But these 'problems' are also the strength and distinctiveness of the character. The story represents his life from his childhood, a simple man who travels the world. The film was a commercial success, and won numerous awards at the 67th Academy Awards, Best Picture, Best Actor for Tom Hanks, Best Director (Robert Zemeckis), Best Special Effects. The main character has a unique sensitivity and intelligence along with a purity confirmed by his own words in the film: Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get! Sometimes a problem is a unique opportunity.
