I marvel at how he can remember these lines with such passion! He did such a remarkable turn with this role, that I cannot see anyone else doing it justice.
@TheChickadee8 Every single guy at my secondary school had every one of these speeches memorised word for word in the mid-1980s, and that was only going of the Olivier version from 1944.
It isn't that hard to do, made easier by being very good material.
Henry V is indeed one of the best plays of Shakespeare! He took great pains to finish his prodigal son trilogy: The transformation of the wanton and lewd Prince Henry Monmouth to the stern and warlike King Henry V! The message of Exeter and the inspiring battle speech of King Henry, which should be recited on peace demonstrations, belong to my favourite parts of the play together with the war discourses of Fluellen; the verses about the Irish captain being an ass in warfare are undying indeed.
as a kid i could never understand why harry was the protagonist and not the king of France
