mesmerising outlook on the male stereotype

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2019)

This film is immaculate, and can be really appreciated if focus is pushed away from its historical accuracy. The film highlights how in medieval times power really was portrayed as the key to happiness, and to be a worthy man, you must have power. For me it was fascinating to see the character of Henry V develop and what power and pressure can do to someone. How his original morals were left behind, along with any emotions of fear and grief, otherwise it would defy how men were supposed to be. Sure it ignores historical facts, yet in that it achieves multiple character lines that are much more impactful, giving the film itself real substance and worth. loved it
