Mel Brooks
Tom Hooper: "Mother Proves My Father's Own Logue"
As what the famous comedian Mel Brooks ever quipped, "It's good to be the king." However the Brothers Windsor (Editor note: Brothers Windsor are the sons of British King George V, including George VI, Edward VIII, etc.) might not think so. In 1936, each of them made a fairly convincing reason so as to explain why to be the new king might never be a sensible option. But for Tom Hooper, it would be another matter, as he just shot a movie that tells about the king, and because of this movie he was crowned "King of Oscar" eventually.
One day in October 2007, Tom's father Meredith made a call to Tom who was out in Los Angeles. As an Australian living in London, Meredith and another couple of Australian immigrants were invited to a play reading. During that day, the work for reading was The King's Speech, a yet-unproduced play written by David Seidler. "It is not supposed to be a drama but a film," Tom's mother said to him on the way home, "Tom, I think I've found your next film".
So Hooper accepted her suggestion in turn started his tough plan-to-film journey. Although the budget was even less than 10 million pounds, there are no studios that would be willing to deal with this project. "The mantra we were told from the studios was, ‘We're out of the drama business. Drama is dead,'" Hooper reminds. Eventually, they merely acquired the funding support in part from the UK Film Council that has no longer existed by now.
"What I've enjoyed in making this film is that I wasn't chasing big box office success. I made it as I wanted to make it, as intelligent as I wanted to make it, to the standards I wanted to make it. I didn't compromise. I didn't dumb it down for a mass audience. The fact that it then translates, having kept your integrity, is really exciting."
The King's Speech tells the story that Bertie, Duke of York seeks help for his speech impediment. After getting no results from the treatment of professional physicians, all his people had to move the hope to an unlicensed quack doctor named Lionel Logue. Lagging behind the backgrounds of the abdication crisis and the rise of Hitler, such a story gradually shows its remarkable attractions as it goes on. After later becoming George VI at the critical and difficult moment, this new king had to make his speech successfully and address his people of the whole country on the eve of World War II.
"I love that subversion of telling a very famous story through such a surprising prism," says Hooper. "I don't think I would have wanted to tell the story of Wallis and Edward head on."
Among the subtitles at the end of The King's Speech, Hooper personally dedicated the film to his grandfather who used to be a navigator on a Lancaster and sacrificed himself during his mission in 1942. "It was very sad. They were coming in over the channel and they had taken enemy fire and they asked permission to land at the first available airstrip. In classic British bureaucratic tradition they were told, ‘No, you have to go to your home base,' and they crashed. He was 30 years old."
When his grandfather passed away, Hooper's father was only five years old. As a result he was arranged to an authoritarian boarding school. "That era of cold baths in the winter every day, five mile runs before six in the morning" – In Hooper's mind, all such experiences made his father become a man but emotionally detached.
Eventually it was Hooper's mother, as the same as Logue to be Australian, became his father's own "Therapist Logue" in realistic life. As what Hooper says, "Coaxing him out of his shell." "My father wasn't stiff upper-lipped he just wasn't able to relate to us as kids particularly well. My mother took him on this journey." Hooper thumps his chest. "Now he says, ‘You're one of my ribs, Tom.' He's emotionally very expressive and incredibly loving. Making this film made me appreciate it because you take those things for granted."

Which Mel Brooks movie is this?
I can't place it, but there's a point in a Mel Brooks movie where one character yells into another character's ear, "WRONG!" What movie is this? It's driving me crazy.
Possibly Blazing Saddles. Near the end, as the Rock Ridge fight breaks out across other sets in the studio lot, at one point we see an elaborate song-and-dance number, which one dancer botches. The director (played by Dom DeLuise) tears the dancer a new one just before the townsfolk-and-rustlers fight breaks through a wall.
This description probably makes a lot more sense if one has seen the film, which gets really wacky in parts.
