    The film was filmed and released during the war, which actually means a bit of patriotic propaganda. The near-theatrical form of the whole piece is hard to watch for the uninitiated audience, but the performances of the British actors and the accents of the dialogues are always expressive. It is worth mentioning that the film has some adjustments to Shakespeare's drama, adding a lot of entertaining content and love elements, but on the contrary, it seriously weakens the dramatic...

    It is indistinguishable from the 89 version. Because the theme needs to delete a few darker main scenes, but the costumes are highly restored, the supporting roles are more suitable, and the battle of Alkugin is also very unexpectedly much better than the 89 version. The image of Hengwu is pure and dignified, which is less explosive and impactful than the 89 version, but - Lawrence Oliver is so handsome! The section of confessing to a beautiful woman is particularly exciting, and the pitiful...

    Laurence Olivier, one of the most authoritative Shakespeare actors, obviously has his own understanding of Shakespeare's works. Self-written, directed and acted HenryV. Although it is still a little bit behind Hamlet, it is enough to have a good actor with such a good line. It's still lame to speak French in an authentic English accent. Very staged and...

    It's always a lot of fun to watch the play within the play, and when I look at it, I recall the rehearsal scene. Still sad to see Falstaff die. The war scene proves that this is the main theme movie of others in the UK... The male protagonist's lines are so good that he will never get tired of listening to...

    The most elegant version, so natural, so that Shakespeare has no sense of distance. Henry V's speech was so exciting that he wanted to take a good look at the England national team before they set off. ) The subtitle "Scented Face" was well received. It would be better if there were no...

  • King Henry V of England: Fair Katharine, and most fair, will you vouchsafe to teach a soldier terms such as will enter at a lady's ear and plead his love-suit to her gentle heart?

    Princess Katherine: Your majesty shall mock at me; I cannot speak your England.

    King Henry V of England: O fair Katharine, if you will love me soundly with your French heart, I will be glad to hear you confess it brokenly with your English tongue. Do you - like me, Kate?
