I love BRIAN BLESSED!! He just seems so well suited to Medieval Dramas, and he great in this film. In the Agincourt scene he is shown whacking a French knight with a mace and grinning whilst doing so, he actualy looked as though he was enjoying it.
Kenneth Branagh is such a good friggin actor. i personally think he is better then Lawrence Olivier, who is great as well. Out of all the shakespere plays, Henry V was tailor made for Branagh
Methinks the ghosts of three traitors registered their dislikes of this reminder of their treachery...also, it's a shame Branagh left out their pleas for mercy, once their guilt was established...
I love this scene. I think Will himself would have loved it, so full of sarcasm. I absolutely love the added touch of Brian Blessed (Lord Exeter) slapping Scroop.
This is a brilliant scene. It shows the cunning of the king. Having the treasonous parties council him on how to handle the common man's assault on the previous night sealed their punishment once the treason was revealed. I can only hope to be so clever.
Also, that was one hell of a slap, but he deserved it. As was said in the same scene prior to where the video joins the play, the last treasonous lord was the king's bedfellow.
@TheWIBoiler I think the 'bedfellow' reffered to here is Scroop who was reportedly quite close to King Henry and a Knight of the Garter. Note the 'bedfellow' reference was not meant to have any sexual connotation in the original play.
@medievalgirl002 Nor did I imply it did. People needed to share beds back in the day so they didn't freeze to death. Hence, you would have nights to chat and grow close to your bedfellow rather naturally.
@TheWIBoiler I never intended to suggest that you were implying such, and apolifgise for any offence this may have caused. I was merely suggesting that some people may misinterpret this passage in such a way as to make in mean something it does not. Someone who beleived Henry V was homosexual for instance, could possibley claim that this passage hinted at a sexual relationship between the King and Lord Scroop to make it fit their preconcived ideas, without regarding its historical context.
@mortalkonlaw Actually, only one of the Three conspirators was Drawn and Quartered. This was almost certianly Lord Scroop. Camridge was just beheaded because he was the King's cousin, and Grey because he confessed.
Olivier skipped this scene entirely, probably because it is an aside to the plot. Brannagh saw the dramatic potential in it and made one of the movie's highlights. After this film, I imagine no one dares to omit the Southampton conspiracy when staging this play.
@fabiogaucho77 The reason that Olivier didnt include this scene in his version is because he made it in 1944 when Britain was at war and a scene about treachery by supposedly loyal Englishmen might have harmed civilian morale.
@alexkrycek21 There's a 700th anniversary of battle of Agincourt coming soon in 2015 so I reckon to mark the anniversary there could be a TV series about Henry V and the battle.
My favorite scene in the flick... that slap that Exeter gave Scroop is just VISCIOUS. Asked my Shakes prof about it yrs ago & he explained that Exeter was Scroop's sponsor for the royal army academy (or something similar).
@godzilloid Have you seen the Agincourt battle scene: there's a great moment of him hacking away w/his sword. The whole scene plays more like a street fight than a royal battle!
The merits of the acting aside, I've often regretted that this was such a low-budget production, less a costume epic than a bring-your-own costume epic. That fake knitted lame armor never looks very good, especially next to the real thing, and you'd expect the king to have armor at least as elaborate as, say, his uncle. (And does it surprise anyone that Brian Blessed had a spare suit of armor laying around?)
Well the knitted armor you refer to was a historical reality. Gambesons were worn either above or beneath chain mail (though not over plate armor e.g. what Brian Blessed is wearing in the "Armored Ultimatum" scence with Paul Scofield, which would have been more common by this period.)
@marauder247 No it wasn't. I'm not talking about a gambeson. I'm talking about that cheap imitation stage mail made out of knitted silver-toned wool. It might work more or less adequately on stage, but it never looks right on film in close-ups, particularly next to the real thing.
Gotcha. Did you see how difficult it is to fabricate realistic looking chainmail in the behind-the-scenes for Lord of the Rings? I agree that it would be nice to say Henry V with the same cast done with Hamlet's budget.
@marauder247 No, but I know how time-consuming it is to make mail. I worked Ren Faires for many years, and know people who make their own, and others who make it to sell. The real thing is heavy too. I imagine that for LotR they wanted it in aluminum. Not every actor is Brian Blessed.
Agree on Henry V's budget, but it was probably the success of this (and "Much Ado") that got him the Hamlet budget in the first place.
most of the longer plays are edited, be that an RSC version of hamlet, or as in this case a version produced for film. anyway, i think we both agree that this version of henry V has been very well produced indeed. one of my fav movies!
what i said was that the content is completely shakespeare. there is no re-writing at all - no additional text, just editing. that is not what you allure to in your previous comment.
you should think your answer through also. although it is an adaption, the content is completely shakespear. its an edited version, rather than a re-write.
I've watched this scene dozens of times, and yet somehow I never caught how at 3:49 Henry looks at his nobles, letting them know that they should never be so sure of their positions to feel that he won't suspect them. Even in his despair he uses this to reaffirm his station. Excellent acting combined with the best writing, just chilling.
@ryuinz In the original play there are more suggestions in the first conversation that Henry has with them when he comes in. He manages to slip the words 'cut' 'head' and 'execute' into one sentence. The Branagh version cut out most of this passage though.
Obviously, this isn't what you meant in response to mackler, but I thought I should mention that this in fact is not at all how people spoke back then. This is how they would have spoken if they had half an hour before each sentence to construct it into poetry.
@toReasonWhy But they were ordinary words for the time. Mind you, it's as different from the speech actually used by Henry V as modern speech is from this. His language was Chaucer's, not Shakespeare's.
Nor did they use a modern English accent in Shakespeare's time. An American accent is at least as close to late 16th century speech; in some ways closer. But it would never sound "right" to a modern audience.
You're certainly right about your linguistic chronology here. But you're response misses the point of mine. I was not saying the words used weren't typical of Shakespeare's time-- I was not talking about word choice. I was saying that, just as humans don't speak in poetry now, nor did they then, as romantic as any era seems. Even Shakespeare's 'blank verse' goes well beyond what a normal human would ever say in a real conversation.
Although, to remain technically correct, this does extend to word choice, too, not just structure-- these were plays made of poetry, and shakespeare used a vast vocabulary, which, once again, no human has the capacity or time or even urge to employ in their daily conversation.
By your own counsel...If only nowadays people lived to a higher standard, but we can only take care of ourselves to make sure we don't imitate lower standards which have crept into our societies.
i know its already been said, but just when out of the silence comes those eery strings...and then him pulling him up and throwing him against the wall....i could watch that 100 hundred times and the acting wouldnt suffer!
The Duke of York is a bad ass in this movie - he is the young guy with the knife at the throat of Sir Thomas Gray , Later at Agincourt he leads the English battle line but is cut down by many french knights.
@chisacat To my mind the badass is the Duke of Bedford,you should read how he rallied and inspired the English at the battle of Verneuil(17th of august 1424),a battle the English were on the verge of losing and his leadership turned it into one of the most spectacular English victories of the 100 Years War,a battle that really should be as famous as Agincourt.
True, but it might be Shakespeare's fault that people don't emphasize that moment. Bedford is one of the most annoying characters in his works, and Henry VI part 1 is the low point of the 8 historical plays. Maybe if the bard had wrote Bedford better, and Henry V worse, memory would be different. Or if he had written a great play focusing on Edward the Black Prince...
@ajb7876 Bedford was a great leader, I'm glad someone else recognizes his greatness. Its a shame he died in France defending Henry VI's kingdom. Without him, and Talbot of course, the English defense was never the same.
@Nelsonhojax15 Very true, Bedford was indeed a Great leader, but he was also a good man, even his enemied admired him as honourable, loyal and just. Unfortunately he has been largely forgotten, or else demonised in movies about Joan of Arc.
what's all ths shit about Henry V being gay? I highly doubt it. According to history and Shakespeare's immortal play, Henry was "The paragon of all Christian kings." Kenneth Branagh is the greatest actor, director, writer & producer since Sir Laurence Olivier. Great film.
in some aspects, yes. But Olivier's "Richard III" is WAY BETTER than the atrocious remake with McKellen in 1995. I'd like to see Branagh do that. Branagh's movies are spectacular.
I doubt they were going for a Harry is Gay thing here. This is simply an illustration of the breaking of a brotherly bond. You will find few relationships closer than those of men who have shared, or about to share the sting of battle.
Prince Hal (Henry V) and Lord Scroop were childhood friends from the earlier plays Henry IV Parts I and II. It's only fitting he would focus on him in the scene before he sentences him to death.
do you mean homosociality was not unusual? or homosexuality? in which case the sentence doesn't make much sense since the homosexuality is not a practice but an orientation.
@Shaxprlover There isn't a shred of Historical evidence to suggest Henry V was Homesexual. Those who claim that he was usually state the fact that he spent most of his time in Male company as alleged proof, but this is not proof, as 15th century England was a male dominated society and there were no women in parliament, the Royal council or the army (except camp followers).
all he means by this is that such treason by men he thinks of like brothers is an ultimate betrayal and one that cannot and will not be forgiven or forgotten.
