There is no doubt that the film is a contemplative upgrade and update of the writings of the troubadour Shakespeare. This is a powerful movie with outstanding performances. At the beginning, Chalamey's performance was a bit slow, he gradually adapted to the role, and when he began to adapt, the film gradually improved. But in this movie, at least at the beginning, he seemed to be a little outside of the story. His performance followed in the footsteps of Kenneth Branagh and Lawrence Oliver, as well as other actors who played Henry V. A boy becomes a man, and how a young idealist is corrupted by power has become the focus of his performance. Pattinson also contributed very good acting skills in the movie, which became the focus of the picture. Mishaud presented an entertaining work.

The story setting is far from Shakespeare, but it shows why England can win more with less in the Battle of Agincourt.

In some of the greatest battles in history, blood flowed into rivers, often just because the princes wanted more land to raise sheep. This is not new, many people know this, but few movies really say it, because the public always has another definition of historical films. I really like the idea and more modern interpretation of this film. The director's Catch-22 was also a male subject but a slightly anti-macho pov. For this, I give four stars. However, the film is really warm, the photography style is already very strong and avoids weaknesses for the protagonist, sweet tea as the protagonist, the performance is unsympathetic.

The Dauphin of France: I have been waiting all the morning, all the night for your surrender. Might have saved a great unease had it come sooner.
Hal: I know you do not speak for your father.
The Dauphin of France: I do speak for my father.
Hal: I know you do not speak for your father so I come to you now directly. I have not come to surrender... but too much Christian blood will be spilled on this field today, so I propose this: you and I fight, one man on one man. We fight in our armies' stead. If I lose, my men will leave this place forthwith and forever. You will have my head. If I win, I will assume this kingdom's crown upon your father's death. What say you?
The Dauphin of France: Are you scared, young Henry?
Hal: What say you?
The Dauphin of France: Are you scared of this battle? There is no shame of it.
Hal: Save your men.
The Dauphin of France: You save your own men.
[angrily]
The Dauphin of France: You came here to me! Surrender to me!
Hal: I cannot do that.
The Dauphin of France: Well, then, boy, let us make famous that field out there, this little village of Agincourt, which will forever mark the site of your callow disgrace.

Hal: And where is the fearsome old warrior Falstaff about whom I've heard so much? You've been mute since we crossed the sea. I seem to be serving as my own chief tactician, my own commander, my own counsel. Where is the fearsome old warrior Falstaff?
Sir John Falstaff: I speak only when there's something to be said. Too often have I seen men of war invent work for themselves - work that leads to nothing but vainglory and slaughtered men. I'm not that man.
