French c*nts

uhhh, fuck your womdershare watermark, thumbs down!

Where is the King?

my God!

Brilliant 👏

Very fine cinema. Ken did a great job at keeping the cast manageable. No special fx.

Kenneth Branagh is the best actor ever and he direct himself and others too

Where did we go so very wrong.

Arousing speech. For Warriors

“Come no more gentle herald” it’s game on,we’re up for it

Former soldiers like me completely understand what he's saying.

And not a snow flake to be seen, my lord. gods. speed.

marines about to get some prayers answered🔥🔥🔥💯🙏to the WARGOD🔥🔥🔥

A young Christian Bale?

Is that Christian Bale 😊he's good in this too😊

Shakespeare a name that will always be in history English

This is probably one of the best movies ever made. I don’t even want to see the knew one bc I know it won’t live up to this movie so why make another one.

Incredible segment of the film. Shakespeare at his best. Kenneth Branaugh, also, at his best doing Shakespeare.

"For we are but warriors for the working day". I was in the Marines when I saw this in 1989, and I was like "Dayyyyyyyymn". I actually teared up.

that's what I call motivation

Considering this speech was written 500 + years ago, long long before anyone began analyzing the inner workings of the mind and its motivations, it is an astonishing examination of human psychology and the art of persuasion. The odds are set up prior to the speech. The French outnumber them 5 to 1. They are all fresh troops. By all rights this battle should be a slaughter that makes the Little Big Horn and the Alamo look like high school pep rallies. But how does Henry start it... " He who fights this day and comes home safe; He who lives to see old age, shall tell, with advantages the deeds he did this day". Suddenly all these men, who are essentially expecting their executions are being given hope of life by their King. What a tremendously rousing thing to say. Then he rolls on, telling them what honor and status they will have at home, how they shall be equal.. EQUAL.. as a brother to he who wears the crown. Shakespeare had astounding insight into human psychology and thought. This may be the best motivational speech ever written.

Epic

Instead of berating his men for cowardice, as a bad king might have done, Henry reaches down into them and pulls up their fighting spirit, stirring them to not only face battle, but to crave it. The power to make men disregard their own deaths is what makes a great king. For Henry, these men will now do anything.

I want to go kick some ass 💪🏾

My chief (Chief Abbot 99) in USN bootcamp recited this to us just before we ran battle stations. Damned good man and perfect timing.

I think Branaghs interpretation and performance is way superior to Olivier's, it just seems so natural ..whereas Olivier's speech is so theatrical and stilted

"we few. we happy few. WONDERSHARE TM."

Give me longbow neigh mace I'm there-for king+country "God speed ye Harry" 🤨

Expected Eric Idle to appear and say, 'St Crispin's Day was yesterday guv.'

HAWKMEN

That Shakespeare fellow could write a pretty good play.

any dry eyes left or spines NOT tingled? TRULY the greatest work of the Bard.

Branagh has no lips.

Who shall I consider "a friend"? - Is a question that man tend to ask in the company of men.

Whenever I lack courage or am deeply disturbed I watch this or similar.

of course, it also helps to have longbows.

Christian Bale at 2.27

I can't believe this was the same guy who played Loveless in Wild Wild West...

*"we are but warriors for the working day"* 💪

There were solid structures remaining of that Potomac government. But there was a clefted dipthee

The fact he got X'ers so pshych up for Shakespear should of awarded him the Oscar, instead of Daniel Day-Lewis.

I suggest to watch the film Renaissance Man in which an American army private from the slums of New York has been taught Shakespeare and is ordered by his drill sergeant to speak something. In rain and mud, without an elegant Oxford or Cambridge upper class voice, Private Benitez in his Brooklyn accent stumbles through this speech and STILL inspires his comrades, and me, as powerfully as a Branagh or an Olivier.

England to France: "I've got something for your ass!"

Best. Version. Ever. But is it Branagh? Or Patrick Doyle’s amazing score?

Branagh ruined this speech for all future actors. His performance here is untouchable, the forever standard. Olivier, Gielgud, Rylance, all pale. All else now is imitation. Here's another one, incidentally, that displays the sure hand of the bard, this one from real life: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJPNm2yEotNpkLc

If you ever wonder what motivated the English to take over the world, look no further.
