@ConstantineJoseph ... that does not change the fact that the English longbow tactics were completely lethal and that the French were not prepared. Had the French advanced between Henry ordering his men to advance and them hammering the protective anti-cavalry stakes back in, it would have been another Battle of Patay and a horrible loss for the English. Look, if God favours the English, why not give them France without thousands dieing?

Check our dark and epic medieval song

A great country ruined by arsehole politicians.

Beautifully done - quite literally brings a tear to the eye, especially as "non nobi domine", albeit in a different setting was my school's song.
You can't watch this and not realise just what an exceptional talent Branagh is.

Actually the English forces would never defeat the French. Not with the numbers they are facing and the equipment the French had. The French were armed to the teeth. In fact, most of them were in full plate armor. They weren't suffering from dysentry, they are well rested and extremely motivated. They had the entire nobility on horseback.
But God favored the English and the French trampled on themselves to death.
Non nobis was sung in deep humility and thanksgiving to His grace.

@dirtyjew1974 Well then I suppose you can say that about every battle/war/fight. The victory by the English was so unexpected and grand that it is "wonderful." Way to make a nonsensical point. Did you even pay attention to the movie?

It shows respect between French and English especially at 4.22 where you see Henry pause by the dead body of the French Constable. Even Mountjoy mucking in as he resatrained that woman
he was probably thinkin "Dammit Ken, you're amateur, man! Carry me with more gravitas! We're done professionally!"

This shows that you don't need 100 millions to make a grand movie. You just need a good cast and some experts behind the camera. :) This scene is one of the best (and longest) I have ever seen.
