To be honest, this movie is very boring. The 140-minute duration alone is enough to scare a group of people away. It is also a dull historical theme. Although I went to see it with the beauty of Tiancha, I was still very disappointed. The story If you don't speak well, no matter how good your acting is, it's useless. Sigh for the two hours that have passed.
Anyone who knows a little about the history of Britain’s resistance to France knows that the victory at the Battle of Ajingur led by Henry V was a key part of Britain’s hundred-year war of resistance against France. He himself was hailed as England’s greatest fighter by virtue of his military achievements. One of the kings. This film mainly talks about how Henry V, played by Sweet Cha, became king step by step and ruled firmly.
Sometimes it feels really like a Shakespeare play, but sometimes it feels very strange, like a fantasy historical drama. There is an unclear sense of cheapness, mainly clothing. Maybe the overall budget given by Netflix was also quite limited, and the royal disputes weren't photographed. The black screen and magnificent soundtrack were not enough.
Sweet tea's long hair style is pretty good, and the short hair after becoming a queen is a bit too young. But the first scenes were all lying naked on the bed, what is this, fan welfare?
When Tiancha started to speak French with the assassins sent from France, the picture became harmonious. After all, his personal appearance was really not very British, his accent was not very British, and he spoke awkward Old English. The acting skills he showed in this film are really far from before. May return to the comfort zone, but the scenes in which Tiancha speaks French are very domineering.
What he interpreted was this Hal, sometimes too feminine, lacking some of the temperament that I imagined a monarch should have, and he couldn't feel brave and good at fighting.
Especially in the first half of the scene, the plot was delayed, and the boring literary drama that couldn't catch the key point for half an hour was simply a headache. With the lighting of the unclear expression, people who watched it felt very upset. Until the last battle, Henry V’s speech in front of the army was inspiring. Killing the enemy in the mud is also very brave. But most of the time, what is presented to the audience is a very real (childish) and impatient big boy, a young king who is gradually growing up.
The only bright spot was the battle of Ajingur, where there was no difference between the outcome and the sudden heavy rain. The blood on the battlefield was mixed with mud. The French soldiers in heavy armor could not hold their feet. The British army won more with less. Although it was embarrassing and dirty, this is the truth of war and death. There is no noble sacrifice, only you die and die.
But the young king's most loyal general also sacrificed to attract French firepower. The soldiers checked the battlefield, and Wang just sat silently beside the body of his only friend, breathing calmly. The shooting of this battle scene is both beautiful and magnificent. Unfortunately, the duration is relatively short and the scale is relatively small. Otherwise, it can be compared with the battle of Quan You's bastard.
On the contrary, it is the old drama bones that are used in the film to make this Netflix production, which can be called a web drama, a sense of Shakespeare’s vision. I didn’t recognize the old Henry played by Mendelssohn at first. Father and In Zi's rivalry, the light completely overshadows the sweet tea.
The French prince played by Robert is too stupid, and the acting is very interesting. He has contracted all the jokes of the film. The French-scented English can also be seen to be working hard. In fact, the rob of the past two years is quite impressive.
The younger brother played by Toman the Great is really good. His childish appearance is quite cute, but he doesn't make much appearance in the scene. Lily is the same.
Generally speaking, if you are interested in history, there are a lot of books, movies, and TV series to choose from, so don't waste this time. If you just want to see the Yanhe performance of Tiancha, you are welcome to try it.
