THE KING is not a particularly stunning work, but it is not a bad film either. At least it is much clearer and smoother than the dynamic PPT of "Pretty Boy" and "Summer Night". The biggest highlight of this movie is that it shows a Henry V outside of conventional historical knowledge, whether the iron-blooded king who conquered France was also confused, hesitant, sad and fearful, and whether he was also deceived and used. Is he also afraid that the peace in front of him is just a fleeting falsehood? Although Henry V has achieved unprecedented success in history, he lived for more than 40 years. Henry VI succeeded to the throne for 9 months. His character was weak. He gradually lost all the achievements of Henry V's war and finally died of his country. The film did not tell the story after this, everything stopped abruptly at Henry V's most glorious moment, but it was also at that moment that he felt the loneliness and emptiness of the king. Success or failure turned around, and many things, ancient and modern, are all in jokes, no matter how much honor and achievements are eventually passed away, a person's confusion and fear always haunt his life. Many people say that the image of Sweet Tea does not match the impression of Henry V. He is too thin, melancholy and even delicate and beautiful, but it is also this temperament that shaped a brand new Henry V in this movie. The perfect king in habitual historical cognition is a different interpretation of his identity. As for the natural light shooting that some people criticized, I think the texture of the picture is very beautiful and retro, and apart from the procrastination of individual shots, the war scenes in this play do not need to be made into exciting and exciting films in my opinion. , This kind of dull rhythm, on the contrary, matches the rhythm of the whole movie more closely. Finally, a scene I like very much is when the old king is about to die, when Henry comes to the palace. From shouting and cursing outside, to squeezing the sentence from the teeth between the guards in the room: leave. The change in this stage of performance is also his change from a swinger to becoming a king. Sweet Tea's grasp of the line leave is very accurate. It is not a violent yelling outside the door, but a sentence that is gently squeezed out from the teeth by looking at the other person's eyes, pressing the force in the body , Is enough to make the other party retreat, at this time, he is already the real king.
