The Kings Speech

ReportThe King's Speech tells the story of the man who became King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II. After his brother abdicates, George ('Bertie') reluctantly assumes the throne.

Through a set of unexpected techniques, and as a result of an unlikely friendship, Bertie is able to find his voice and boldly lead the country into war.

Most main characters smoke and its implied they have trouble quitting. Viewers who read into the real life characters will learn the main character died from lung cancer relatively young

Near the start of the movie, Bertie is asked by his Doctor to put a large amount of glass marbles in his mouth and talk (to try and cure his stutter). Bertie is seen to struggle and there are some choking noises before he spits them out. No outright struggling to breathe but it still set me on edge

King George V dies, and his sons are very sad. But he is an old man and his sons are adults.

Near the start of the movie, Bertie is asked to put glass marbles in his mouth in an attempt to cure his stutter. He struggles with them in his mouth for a moment then spits them out - no actual spit/saliva is shown but the act of spitting as he removes them from his mouth could be inferred

It might not raise to the level of a full on anxiety attack, but Bertie is visibly extremely nervous before speaking publicly and this impacts his performance to various degrees throughout the movie.

Bertie’s older brother David makes fun of his stutter by mimicking and mocking him.
