King Henry V...

Rating: 6/10 (3 April 2020)

"The King" is a Biography - History movie in which we watch the story of Hal who is crowned King Henry V after the death of his tyrannical father. He has to learn about politics and the war that comes but also he has to control his past and his emotions from his life before becoming a king.
I liked this movie very much because it is based on true history events and shows the dark details of not only the palace politics and interests but also behind the relationships and friendships between the people of the palace. I liked very much the interpretation of Timothée Chalamet who played as Hal / King Henry V and he was simply amazing. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Joel Edgerton's who played as Falstaff, Ben Mendelsohn's who played as Henry IV and Sean Harris' who played as William and they were all very good. Regarding the direction that was made by David Michôd, I have to say that it was very good, with much of suspense and action, and it was obvious that he studied the history behind the characters and their relationships between them in order to be correct and the result was this masterpiece.
