      British theme

      The mode of the play in the play is very cute. Before telling about the war that took place in 1415, the grand scene of the Globe Theatre in 1600 was perfectly reproduced. The loud cheers of gentlemen dressed in costumes at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries seemed to tell me the silent audience waiting in front of the screen, what kind of dramatic Henry V is about to be presented here, and "him" is on him. How to bear the ever-expanding patriotism in that vigorous and crisis-conscious...

      Wiki entry

      The stage of the Elizabeth Theater does not use stage scenery. Shakespeare was aware of the difficulty of expressing large-scale wars and scene switching on an extended stage, so he used the speaker to explain the story to the audience and encourage them to use their own imagination. At the opening, the speaker called "the radiant muse" and King Henry "has the spirit of a god of war." And said, "Such a "cockfighting ring" can accommodate thousands of miles of France? Or is there so many...

      "Realism, Rhetoric and Historical Paintings in "Henry V" + Asymptote of Reality, British "Quality Film" PS: Remembering and Analyzing Pastoral Symphony Comparison

      In movies, although no movie needs to copy the world of perception, people often compare it with the physical space we perceive-this is unavoidable in any movie. As André Bazin often points out: From the moment film is born, it has a basic (ontological) connection with space reality, and thus depends on it for survival. He likened this relationship to an asymptote: On the one hand, movies and reality are infinitely close and indistinguishable, but on the other hand, there are still...

      It's a pure stage play at all. It is similar to Chinese Peking Opera. The narration of the film should be completely excerpted from the book. It is a bit of a headache to watch. After all, it is incompatible with the current movie style, but Lawrence Oliver is also a real artist....

      Lawrence's patriotic work to counteract the World War II military service started in the theater, went out for a circle, and ended in the theater. Taking advantage of the respective advantages of the theater and the greenhouse, the montage is natural and moving. Comparing Kenneth Hennessy V, you can clearly feel the difference in the director's choice of lines and paragraphs under different...

      Can't help but smile. The stage play is nested in the movie, and the alienation effect is remarkable, so I can't help laughing. The language of Shakespeare's play is put into stage performance, and it still sounds like poetry and music...

    Background creation

    After the film was released, it was shown in London alone for eleven months. The film basically retains the stage performance of the original drama, and restores the scene of the theater performance in the William Shakespeare era. The film has won four nominations including the 1947 Oscar for Best Picture. Oliver said: "It takes some new skills to shoot Shakespeare, or at least to give up some old skills. You don't need to shoot tricky...

    Movie quotes

    • King Henry V of England: Fair Katharine, and most fair, will you vouchsafe to teach a soldier terms such as will enter at a lady's ear and plead his love-suit to her gentle heart?

      Princess Katherine: Your majesty shall mock at me; I cannot speak your England.

      King Henry V of England: O fair Katharine, if you will love me soundly with your French heart, I will be glad to hear you confess it brokenly with your English tongue. Do you - like me, Kate?

      Princess Katherine: Pardonnez-moi, I cannot tell vat is 'like me.'

      King Henry V of England: An angel is like you, Kate, and you are like an angel.

    • King Henry V of England: A speaker is but a prater; a rhyme is but a ballad. A straight back will stoop; a black beard will turn white; a fair face will wither; a full eye will wax hollow; but, a good heart, Kate, is the sun and the moon. If thou would have such a one, take me; and take me, take a soldier; take a soldier, take a king.

    • Princess Katherine: Is it possible dat I sould love de enemy of France?

      King Henry V of England: No, Kate; but, in loving me, you would love the friend of France; for I love France so well that I will not part with a village of it. And Kate, when France is mine and I am yours, then yours is France and you are mine.
