Probably the most realistice depiction of Agincourt

Rating: 8/10 (3 November 2019)

Just caught this today on Netflix. As an English major, I am well versed in Shakespeare's Henry V and the films by Olivier and Branaugh. As an 'armchair historian', I am familiar with the historical battle of Agincourt, particularly the account by the late John Keegan, a renowned British military historian. The location of the films battlefield resembles the actual site which is important. The problems of the French mounted and knights on foot had with bog conditions and the crush of people is accurate.
The film does borrow from Shakespeare in a couple of inaccuracies for the sake of the story.
1. Henry and Hotspur as contemporaries. Nope Henry Percy, Hotspur, was roughly 15 years older;
2. Single Combat with Hotspur. Nope, the Battle of Shrewsbury was an actual bloody battle where Hotspur died.
3. Falstaff, A beer once brewed in St. Louis but not an actual person
I did like how they tied in the issues of the legitimacy as Henry IV, aka dear old dad had usurped Richard II and was constantly challenged by other nobles.
