content: As a history teacher,I am always looking for visual aides for my students. This film captures the leadership and honor of Henry V. It accurately demonstrates warfare during the 1300's Hundred Years War. From the costume of Henry with both French and English standards to the longbows to the muddy fields, the Battle of Agincourt is recreated beautifully. Branagh is one of the finest Shakespearian actors of our time and potrays the king with compassion and strength. This is one Hollywood film of a Shakespearian play that does not deviate from how the playwright meant for the story to be told. It is an excellent historical film.
