Great film but not an accurate depiction of Henry V

Rating: 7/10 (25 December 2019)

There is a lot of positives regarding this film. The acting, sets, costumes, and locations are superb. It is undoubtedly worth a viewing. However, one should not watch this and feel that they are informed of this period of the Hundred Years' War, as it is historically inaccurate... Which then begs the question, again with these types of films that are based loosely on history; why not simply make a thoroughly fictional film inspired by real events and state as much - though in this case it isn't nearly as historically inaccurate as Mary Queen of Scots was as that film was turned into a modern activist or social statement film based on falsities and fantasy.
