thoroughly enjoyed it

>That's right, Goys, England had no justification invading France, it was all made up warmongering nonsense. We never tried to assassinate any English Kings, we never invaded sovereign English territory in 1066, we never funded the Scottish and Irish terrorists.
Dylan Moore
it was meh. outlaw king was better. among other things it didn't fall for the bleak filters.

1. Henry V being Henry IV's heir was never in question.
2. Henry was an apathetic loser who thought war was le bad like a 21st century liberal. He is widely considered one of the greatest kings of England. He was accomplished in battle before becoming King, not a drunkard with no ambition.
3. The Prince of France was not at the battle. He was not important to the campaign

Interestingly the Norman invasion started the conflict between England and France. The conflicts in the hundred years war were fights over Norman territory in France.

Falstaff's portrayal as a wise and grizzled veteran mentor is so baffling, I assume it was because the writers didn't have any idea of what to do with his character because they didn't fucking read the play.

Why is this movie trying to make the English the good guys? They were invaders ravaging France all so that the King of England (a French speaking dynasty) could rule over France instead of the existing dynasty. France before the kingdom of England chimped out, was in a golden age. It had been decades since the last real famine, it held a sizeable fraction of Europe total population and wealth, and was a centre of culture.

The whole story is ridiculous since most of the nobility were in favour of taking the opportunity to normalize relationships with France when Henry V inherited the throne, since it was them that got slapped with huge taxes by the monarchs to fund the armies.
The crown stood to benefit far more from renewed conflict with the French monarchs than any collection of nobles in England, many of whom had actually lost ancestral lands on the continent as a result of the Plantagenet kings pressing their claims through warfare and were thoroughly fed up with the whole situation, as demonstrated by the unrest during Henry IV's reign.
I dunno if it was meant to be some hamfisted metaphor for lobbyists of the modern military-industrial complex or they just needed something for the wise, courageous, feminist French princess at the end of the movie to reveal and show what an idiot the violent cishet m*le Henry had been.
Either way, the whole thing felt very out of place in a Hundred Years War setting where no conspiracy was needed to justify fighting anyway.
Samuel Ross
great movie with tight writing and fantastic battle scenes. Unfortunately, this board is filled with fucking election tourists and contrarians.
Ryan Hill
>we never invaded sovereign English territory in 1066,
The English monarchy were the ones that invaded dipshit

The French seeded territory to literal Viking barbarians who used their foothold ravage northern Europe and the Mediterranean. Who would have guessed it would come back to bite them in the ass a few centuries later?
Luis Baker
Why not just watch this instead?

Andrew Cooper
literally watching it currently, it's decent at least. really lives up to what people actually want in these kinds of movies, a focus on the action.
Imagine if The Last Duel focused as heavily on battles and war instead of muh wife's boring life in my castle
Sebastian Thomas
or better yet
Adrian Gomez
It was a decent premise. But Chalamet is a really horrid miscast. He plays fucking Henry V as some kind of meek moody boy. We're talking about the biggest chad warrior king since Richard Lionheart here.
Jaxson Bailey
yup, this is the Any Forums choice
Xavier Rogers
Calm down. It's based on Shakespeare's play, which bends history already.
Brandon Lee
it must be hard to write a script when Shakespeare already wrote the same one but better in every possible way
Nathaniel Rogers
Woah don't get excited, dude. People are just pointing out that turning the king into a anti-war twink was gay and the grey filter was lame. You don't need to throw a tantrum over it.
Alexander Perry
Ni!
