Henry V
What is the scene in the very beginning of the movie? It is the backstage of a theatre. It is modern day, you can tell by the building, lights, and the match. The man speaks in very old language for such surroundings. The scene we are next brought to is obviously much farther back in time. It is lit by candles. The clothing worn by the men is cloth with accents of metals. They look like very good clothes - I also believe these people are all upper class/royal in some way. The priests bless the king. The language is very difficult to understand. Kenneth Branaugh lo
The throne Henry V sits on is wooden and simple. There are arrows flying through the air - how can they be sure weather they're hitting friend or foe? The last scene shows Henry's likeness t his father. There is quite a long scene in French, and I don't understand a word. The hanging of the man by Henry brought back of a flashback of a promise he made not to hang thieves. When we see Henry again, he is wearing a bright blue and red shirt. Everyone who was royalty in the last scene was dressed formally, and was wearing gold. When the French troops arrive at the hillside, they are all decked out with shields, armor, and horses. The warrior wears chain mail, another wears metal armor. The French maid wears a very interesting sort of hat that comes down over her ears. The women wear such ragged clothing, it's hardly anything. The doors in Henry's hall were enormous. When it began to rain when they were outside hanging the man, they all pulled capes out from behind them and covered their bodies.
