      British theme

      The mode of the play in the play is very cute. Before telling about the war that took place in 1415, the grand scene of the Globe Theatre in 1600 was perfectly reproduced. The loud cheers of gentlemen dressed in costumes at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries seemed to tell me the silent audience waiting in front of the screen, what kind of dramatic Henry V is about to be presented here, and "him" is on him. How to bear the ever-expanding patriotism in that vigorous and crisis-conscious...

      Wiki entry

      The stage of the Elizabeth Theater does not use stage scenery. Shakespeare was aware of the difficulty of expressing large-scale wars and scene switching on an extended stage, so he used the speaker to explain the story to the audience and encourage them to use their own imagination. At the opening, the speaker called "the radiant muse" and King Henry "has the spirit of a god of war." And said, "Such a "cockfighting ring" can accommodate thousands of miles of France? Or is there so many...

      "Realism, Rhetoric and Historical Paintings in "Henry V" + Asymptote of Reality, British "Quality Film" PS: Remembering and Analyzing Pastoral Symphony Comparison

      In movies, although no movie needs to copy the world of perception, people often compare it with the physical space we perceive-this is unavoidable in any movie. As André Bazin often points out: From the moment film is born, it has a basic (ontological) connection with space reality, and thus depends on it for survival. He likened this relationship to an asymptote: On the one hand, movies and reality are infinitely close and indistinguishable, but on the other hand, there are still...

      It's a pure stage play at all. It is similar to Chinese Peking Opera. The narration of the film should be completely excerpted from the book. It is a bit of a headache to watch. After all, it is incompatible with the current movie style, but Lawrence Oliver is also a real artist....

      Lawrence's patriotic work to counteract the World War II military service started in the theater, went out for a circle, and ended in the theater. Taking advantage of the respective advantages of the theater and the greenhouse, the montage is natural and moving. Comparing Kenneth Hennessy V, you can clearly feel the difference in the director's choice of lines and paragraphs under different...

      Can't help but smile. The stage play is nested in the movie, and the alienation effect is remarkable, so I can't help laughing. The language of Shakespeare's play is put into stage performance, and it still sounds like poetry and music...

    Movie plot

    Before Henry V became a throne, he became a disciple among sensual dogs and horses, but after ascending to the throne, he became a wise king. He was good at using soldiers and managing politics, and he was deeply loved by the people. In order to regain the right of succession to the French throne, Henry V prepared to declare war on the French king. Before mobilizing troops, he discussed with the ministers and priests to determine the...

    Background creation

    After the film was released, it was shown in London alone for eleven months. The film basically retains the stage performance of the original drama, and restores the scene of the theater performance in the William Shakespeare era. The film has won four nominations including the 1947 Oscar for Best Picture. Oliver said: "It takes some new skills to shoot Shakespeare, or at least to give up some old skills. You don't need to shoot tricky...

    Movie quotes

    • The Constable of France: Hark, how our steeds for present service neigh!

      The Dauphin: Mount them and make incision in their hides, That their hot blood may spin in English eyes and quench them with superfluous courage, ha!

      The French Messenger: The English are embattled, you French peers.

      The Constable of France: A very little little let us do. And all is done. Then let the trumpets sound! The tucket sonance and the note to mount. Come, come, away! The sun is high and we outwear the day.

    • Earl of Westmoreland: O, that we now had here but one ten thousand of those men in England that do no work to-day!

      King Henry V of England: What's he that wishes so? My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin: If we are mark'd to die, we are enough to do our country loss; and if to live. The fewer men, the greater share of honor. God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more. Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host, that he which hath no stomach to this feast, let him depart. His passport shall be drawn and crowns for convoy put into his purse. We would not die in that man's company That fears his fellowship to die with us.

    • King Henry V of England: This day is called the feast of Crispian. He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, will stand a tip-toe when the day is named and rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall live this day, and see old age, will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbors, and say 'Tomorrow is Saint Crispian:' Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars. And say, 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.' Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, but he'll remember with advantages what feats he did that day. Then shall our names, familiar in his mouth as household words: Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester, be in their flowing cups freshly remembered. This story shall the good man teach his son; and Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, from this day to the ending of the world, but we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; for he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile. This day shall gentle his condition and gentlemen in England now a-bed, shall think themselves accursed they were not here and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
