Previously, movies of the Middle Ages was one of my favorite genres, I liked to see many productions about the monarchy, the reigns and if they were based on real events, so much the better. I must say that for a while now I started to lose a little interest, but there is nothing better than some free time to watch a good movie, such is the case of The King, the film I am going to talk about today.

Anteriormente, las películas de la edad media era uno de mis géneros favoritos, me gustaban ver muchas producciones sobre la monarquía, los reinados y si eran basadas en hechos reales, mucho mejor. Debo decir que de un tiempo para acá le empecé a perder un poco de interés, pero nada mejor que un tiempo libre para ver una buena película, tal es el caso de The King, el filme de la cual les voy a hablar el día de hoy.

The King is a 2019 Australian film, which was directed by David Michôd, who also had a great participation in the script, along with Joel Edgerton. What is the film about? Well, it tells us the story of Hal, a principle who is not very happy with the way of reigning of his terrible father, for which he decided to abandon the monarchy, to be immersed in alcohol and girls, for which he is very criticized. The young man liked to live with the commoners, simply not to have to do anything with his father, much less fulfill his duties. A story that I found quite interesting and that the role felt I could enjoy it very much, as was the case.

The King (que la traducción en español es El rey) es una película australiana de 2019, que fue dirigida por David Michôd, que también tuvo una gran participación en el guion, junto a Joel Edgerton. ¿De qué trata el filme? Pues nos cuenta la historia de Hal, un principio que no está muy contento con la forma de reinar de su terrible padre, por lo cual decidí abandonar la monarquía, para estar sumergido en el alcohol y las chicas, por la cual es muy criticado. El joven le gustaba vivir con los plebeyos, simplemente para no tener que ver nada con su padre y mucho menos cumplir con sus deberes. Una historia que se me hizo bastante interesante y que el papel sentía que podría disfrutarla mucho, tal como fue el caso.

When his father falls ill, Hal decides to become the new king, in order to change things and that his reign is very different from his father's, so he must deal with many things, such as the constant wars between the monarchs of the time. We know that in those times wars were constant, each king wanted to conquer much more territory, in order to expand their domains and wealth, but this was not the wishes of Henry V, as the Hal was named, after the coronation. Spending time with the commoners, Hal had a mentor, but more than that was his great friend, an inseparable companion, a knight named John Falstaff.

Cuando su padre enferma, Hal decide convertirse en el nuevo rey, con la finalidad de cambiar las cosas y que su reinado sea muy distinto al de su padre, por lo que debe lidiar con muchas cosas, como las constantes guerras entre los monarcas de la época. Sabemos que esos tiempos las guerras eran constante, cada rey quería conquistar muchas más territorio, con la finalidad de ampliar sus dominios y riquezas, pero esto no eran los deseos de Enrique V, como se nombró al Hal, luego de la coronación. Al pasar el tiempo con los plebeyos, Hal tenía un mentor, pero más que eso era su gran amigo, un compañero inseparable, un caballero llamado John Falstaff.

The plot of the film is not bad, although in the end it was not what I expected, since I wanted to know more about the development of the characters, including Hal himself. The film shows us how the integration and deception was common at the time, with the simple reason of wanting to expand the wealth and money, not only of the kings, but of those who make up the court and those who advise the king, as happened to Henry V, who had to see innocent people die, just for the vanity of the people. When Hal is young, it is easier to manipulate, but also history teaches us that from mistakes we learn, the important thing is to continue and see things in a different way, and never give up your beliefs.

La trama de la película no es mala, aunque al final no resultó lo que esperaba, ya que quería conocer más el desarrollo de los personajes, incluso del mismo Hal. La película nos muestra como la integra y en el engaño era algún común en la época, con la sencilla razón de querer expandir las riquezas y el dinero, no solo de los reyes, sino de aquellos que conforman la corte y quienes aconsejan al rey, tal como le sucedió a Enrique V, quien tuvo que ver morir a inocentes, tan solo por la vanidad de las personas. Al Hal ser joven, es más fácil de manipular, pero también la historia nos enseña que de los errores se aprende, lo importante es continuar y ver las cosas de una manera diferente, y una nunca abanar sus creencias.

Hal (Henry V) is played by Timotheé Chamalet, playing a great role and being one of my favorite characters, along with John Falstaff, being Joel Edgerton who brought the role to life. Most of the story centered around these two characters. The cast of the film was quite good, although I must say that I feel that next to the story it is not the film's strongest suit. The photography, sets and costumes are to my liking, being the most attractive of this film and that we can enjoy this story of the Middle Ages, of the 14th Century.

I also neglected to mention Robert Pattinson's participation as Louis, Dauphin Prince of France, another character I liked, although he didn't last long in the plot. The photography, scenery and costumes are to my liking, being the most attractive of this film and that we can enjoy this story of the Middle Ages, the fourteenth century.

Hal (Enrique V) es interpretado por Timotheé Chamalet, haciendo un gran papel y siendo uno de mis personajes favorito, junto a John Falstaff, siendo Joel Edgerton quien le dio vida al papel. La mayor parte de la historia se centró en estos dos personajes. El reparto de la película fue bastante bueno, aunque debo decir que siento que junto a la historia no es el fuerte del filme. También se me pasó por alto mencionar la participación de Robert Pattinson como Luis, Delfín príncipe de Francia, otro personaje que me gustó, aunque no duro mucho tiempo en la trama. La fotografía, los escenarios y el vestuario sí que son de mi agrado, siendo de lo más atractivo de esta película y que podemos disfrutar de esta historia de la edad media, del Siglo XIV.

The director's work was good, although I missed a little more in the story that was presented, see a little more character development and not a more general story as I saw it. The soundtrack is another aspect that I feel saved the movie, as it has moments of intrigue of what is going to happen, you can really feel the tension of the moment and it is something that I value in this movie. Another point to say is the lack of battle, only twice battles were seen, something that is quite rare for the genre of this film which is adventure and drama, although the latter can be seen a little more.

El trabajo del director estuvo bien, aunque me faltó un poco más en la historia que se presentó, ver un poco más el desarrollo de los personajes y no una historia más general como fue que lo vi. La banda sonora es otro de los aspectos que siento que salvó a la película, ya que tiene momentos de intrigas de lo que va a suceder, se siente realmente la tensión del momento y es algo de lo que valoro de esta película. Otro punto a decir es la falta de batalla, solo en dos oportunidades se vieron batallas, algo que es bastante raro para el género de esta película que es la aventura y el drama, aunque este segundo sí se puede ver un poco más.

In conclusion, I can tell you that The King is a film whose story has great potential, although I think it was wasted. This does not mean that the film is bad, because it is not, you can still have a good time, it was just the sensations it left me with. Another point that disappointed me was the lack of battles, something that was very common in the era in which the story was based. A lot of dialogues and less adventures. The cast was pretty good, although the strong point of the film is the soundtrack and photography, where some sequences and scenes I loved, especially in some of the battles that we can see.

En conclusión, les puedo decir que The King es una película cuya historia tiene un gran potencial, aunque creo que se desaprovechó. Esto no quiere decir que el filme esté mal, porque no es así, igual se puede pasar un rato agradable, tan solo fueron las sensaciones que me dejó. Otro punto que me decepcionó fue la falta de batallas, algo que era muy común en la época a la cual estaba basada la historia. Muchos diálogos y menos aventuras. El reparto estuvo bastante bien, aunque el fuerte de la película es la banda sonora y la fotografía, donde algunas secuencias y escenas me encantaron, sobre todo en unas de las batallas que podemos ver.

Would I recommend the film? Well, despite the negative aspects that I mention, I would recommend it, especially if you like the genre. The score I would give it is a 7, a correct movie.

¿Recomendaría la película? Pues a pesar de los aspectos negativos que les menciono, siendo que si la podría recomendar, sobre todo si les gusta el género. La puntuación que le daría es un 7, una película correcta.

›The King - Kings have no friends because they are always manipulated@cute-cactus799d
In medieval Europe, when the black plague ravages the land, Hal, a prince who has never embraced the royal life, is forced to be crowned as Henry V. In the light of the new developments that emerged while he was living a quiet life among the people, Hal, who had to return to the life he had given up, can be a good or bad example of how power can change a person. I can say that this is all about the perspective that can be provided by considering the conditions of the period.
[source](https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/urwWVsciRiNSmhtMJcck0noWAXr.jpg)
I find the beginning of the story of The King important in terms of the dilemma that a person experiences during the journey from being a prince to a king and the times when he has to go back to what he has given up. As the story of the movie progresses, the change that Hal, the prince, and then Henry V. undergoes leaves people astonished.

In fact, they are the same person, but they are so different from each other in what they do and what they don't do that you wonder what has changed and you realize that the only difference you can find is the change between before and after he became King. I don't know who would be surprised by what human beings can do once they have power, but I'm not surprised because we have the opportunity to observe this every day in many areas.

The story of the movie and the transition scenes of the characters in the story make the movie valuable. The movie can be called a biography, but it fits into many genres in the sense that it focuses on the life of a person and the lives of those around him rather than presenting his life in a monotonous way. This distinguishes it from some boring biographies.

The movie The King not only focuses on the life of a King, but also on the war between the English and the French in medieval Europe. I enjoyed watching the intrigues that led to the war and the scenes of a King being manipulated. In movies about such historical events and wars, I like the intrigues inside the palace the most. I think no matter how successfully the battle scenes are shot, I am more interested in the intrigues inside the palace and the scenes of manipulation.

The harmony of the historical places where the movie takes place with the story is what attracted my attention the most while watching the movie. Thanks to the atmosphere created, it was quite easy to take the audience to the unknown history of the past. Of course, the costumes used in the movie have a lot to do with this, but I would still like to put the atmosphere created in the locations where the filming took place at the forefront.

The strategies that changed the course of the war proved how useful intelligence is, especially when weapons suitable for close combat are used. Intrigue, on the other hand, shows the fact that wherever there are people, it will not be difficult to maintain its existence. Even though the dates change, the consequences do not.

Timothée Chalamet, who plays Hal, was more humane and successful when he was a prince. After he became king, he was weak in the way he staged the change he underwent and reflected it in his dialogues. Perhaps his own internal reflection played a role in this. When he saw the truth and realized that he was being manipulated, the way he reflected the characteristics of his original character reminded me of the saying that good is good everywhere. I liked the scene where he comes to terms with his manipulator and the scene where he advises the girl he is about to marry to tell her every mistake to her face. I think it suited the movie and the story very well.

I recommend watching The King. The movie takes the viewer back to a historical time and creates a fascinating atmosphere. Instead of being interrogative, it shows the effect of personal conclusions that have always been and will continue to be in people's lives on the results.

Thank you for being here and reading. I wish everyone who is going to see it a good time and I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did. Keep having a good weekend and goodbye!

Hello friends, I'm here with another fascinating movie I watched titled The King and I would like to share with you here.

The movie is about Young Henry V encounters deceit, war, and treachery after becoming King of England in the 15th century, in the aftermath of his brother's death.

It begins when the Prince of Wales, Hal, is the emotionally distant eldest son of King Henry IV of England.

He is uninterested in succeeding his father and spends his days drinking, whoring, and jesting with his companion Falstaff in East cheap.

Henry IV summons his son (Hal)and informs him that his younger brother Thomas will inherit the throne.

Thomas is sent to subdue Hot spur's Rebellion, but is upstaged by the arrival of Hal, who challenges Hot spur to single combat.

Although Hal kills Hot spur, ending the battle without further conflict, Thomas complains that he has stolen his glory. Shortly thereafter, Thomas is killed in battle after taking his campaign to Wales.

Henry IV dies in his bed with Hal present, and Hal is anointed King Henry V. Hal opts for peace and conciliation with his father's many adversaries, despite his actions being considered weakness.

At his coronation feast, the Dauphin of France sends Hal a ball as an insulting coronation gift. However, Hal chooses to frame this as a positive reflection of his boyhood.

Meanwhile, His little sister Philippa, now the Queen of Denmark, cautions that nobles in any royal court have their interests in mind and will never fully reveal their true intentions.

Hal interrogates a captured assassin who claims to have been sent by king Charles Vl of France to assassinate him.

The English nobles Cambridge and Grey are approached by French agents, hoping to induce them to the French cause. Their trust in the new young king wavers, and they then approach Hal's Chief Justice with their concerns.

Gascoigne advises Hal that a show of strength is necessary to unite England, so he declares war on France and has Cambridge and Grey beheaded.

He approaches Falstaff and appoints him as his chief military strategist, saying that Falstaff is the only man he truly trusts.

Furthermore, The English army sets sail for France. After completing the Siege of Harfleur, they continue on the campaign but are taunted by the Dauphin.

The English advance parties stumble upon a vast French army gathering to face them. Dorset advises Hal to retreat, but Falstaff proposes a false advance to lure the French to rush forward into the muddy battlefield, where they will be weighed down by their heavy armor and horses.

They will then be attacked by the English longbowmen and surrounded by a large, lightly armored flanking force hidden in the nearby woods.

Falstaff insists on leading the dangerous false advance as it was his plan, prompting Hal to challenge the Dauphin to single combat to decide the battle and minimize bloodshed; however, the Dauphin refuses.

The battle of Agincourt commences. Falstaff's plan works, the bulk of the French army charges to engage Falstaff's force and is soon mired in the mud.

Hal leads the flanking attack, and the outnumbered but far more mobile English army overpowers the immobilized French, though Falstaff is killed.

The Dauphin, still fresh and in heavy armor, reinvokes Hal's challenge but repeatedly slips and falls in the mud until he permits his soldiers to kill him.

Hal orders all French prisoners executed for fear that they might regroup, an order that Falstaff had refused to carry out following the Siege of Harfleur.

Find out what happened on Netflix as Hal orders the execution of all the French prisoners as the movie gets more interesting.

Thanks for reading my content.

Hello movie lover friends, how are you all? Monarchy is the ancient political system of the world, where only members of the king's family have the right to rule a state or country. The world has been ruled by the succession of such monarchies for ages, but now, apart from a handful of countries, no real monarchy is seen anywhere.

In today's world, most of the countries are governed by democratic government system, but if we look closely, we will see that the countries are secretly continuing the monarchy in the name of democracy.

Those of us who love to read history must know about the reigns of various kings in history, their kingdoms and the lives of kings. I have read about many kings, but today I got to see and know about one more king and the real events of his kingdom through today's movie.

If a king engages in life-destroying wars without regard for his vast army and his subjects, the harm to his kingdom is greater than the good. A king with such a selfish mentality is harmful to a kingdom or country as well as to his own family. Which we can see and know through today's interesting movie. Let us introduce you to today's historical movie.

Movie Review:

In the movie we first learn that there is a war between England and France to occupy a place. After that, King Henry IV of England is shown holding a meeting and the king's conflict with the main army is seen. Also, since the king did not have any brave soldiers, he offered his two sons to fight, but the prince did not want to fight because of the distance between the elder son and the king.

Because a problem that can be solved by talking, the prince is not in favor of solving that problem by war. As a result, the king influenced his younger son to fight and to save the younger brother, the elder brother offered a one-to-one battle to win the battle and save the soldiers. The younger brother tried to fight with the soldiers and died in the battle, following the elder brother's decision.

At such a time, King Henry 4 dies of illness and Prince Hal is forced to take over the kingdom as King Henry 5. It is then seen that the chief justice of the kingdom tells the king of eternal enmity with France and asks him to go to war. When the king refused to fight, Chi Justice contrived to provoke the king to war with France and won the war by defeating France in a fierce and interesting battle. Soon after, King Henry V's marriage to the Princess of Funes saw the beginning of new friendly relations between England and France. But when the king learns of Chi Justice's plot, he maintains peace in the kingdom by killing him too.

Comment:

In the history we get to know through the movie, we get to see and know a selfish king as well as a wonderful and intelligent king. I liked the movie, I hope you will like it too. So I will tell you to watch today's interesting movie and comment how you like the movie.

Thank you all so much for reading and knowing about today's historical movie.

›[ES-EN] Película Basada en Obras de Shakespeare: Rey // Film Based on Shakespeare's Writings: The King@joheredia211631d
👑 The King (2019)⚔️

[Versión En Español]

Hola cinéfilos, es un enorme placer escribir nuevamente para todos ustedes. En algunas ocasiones me paso por la sección de películas premiadas en la gran catálogo de Netflix, me agrada visualizar algunas producciones que sean merecedoras de premios y que sean aceptadas por la crítica, aclarando que no siempre estoy de acuerdo con los críticos profesionales en cuanto a sus apreciaciones sobre unos films, sin embargo, en esta sección podemos encontrar algunas joyas clásicas del séptimo arte así como también buenas producciones actuales, he incluido en mi contenido sobre películas esta sección que me parece verdaderamente interesante. En esta oportunidad quiero comentar sobre una película inspirada en obras de William Shakespeare llamada Rey.

Source

Esta es una película del 2019, es un drama ambientado en la vida de Enrique V en el siglo XV, una historia envolvente alrededor de un joven que se convierte en rey de Inglaterra. Propiedad de Netflix siendo participe en su producción y por supuesto en su distribución logra realizar una película de origen australiano con muy buena aceptación sobre todo en esa región.

Sinopsis:

Hal, es un joven príncipe que tiene una vida desviada al palacio y los principales asuntos de la realeza, su vida desenfrenada es interrumpida por la grave enfermedad de su padre, su deber es gobernar a Inglaterra desde muy joven y sin experiencia en la política. Amenazas internas y externan sacuden los pensamientos del nuevo rey y deberá enfrentarlos para lograr la estabilidad de su pueblo.

Source

Análisis de la Película

William Shakespeare

Es sin dudas uno de los nombres propios más reconocidos de nuestra historia, este significativo ilustre de la cultura global realiza obras basadas en la vida de este rey, específicamente Enrique V, ahora bien, si adaptar una obra literaria a la gran pantalla es complicado, llevar al live action una obra de Shakespeare debe hacer temblar a las productoras, normalmente los desenlaces entre los lectores y la obra cinematográfica concluye con críticas negativas, por otro lado, tener la esencia de Shakespeare en una producción cinematográfica a mi parecer es atractivo, causando gran curiosidad alrededor del film.

Source

Debo confesar que no soy un ferviente lector de las obras de Shakespeare ni de este tipo de lecturas, mi enfoque, así como lo demuestro en este post es sobre todo en el séptimo arte, así que desconozco las diferencias entre las obras literarias y el producto de Netflix. Quizás los conocedores de sus obras literarias sobre Enrique V tengan una opinión muy diferente a la mía, sabiendo que Netflix es una maquina de hacer dinero y debe adaptar la complejidad de las obras literarias a una producción apta para el publico en general, teniendo ese aspecto sobre la mesa podemos intuir que la historia puede cambiar tanto en tramas y sobre todo el los diálogos.

A ser una producción basada en obras de Shakespeare, definitivamente capto mi atención, deseaba observar un drama con una buena historia ambientada en el pasado, quizás sea el principal atractivo para muchos usuarios de la plataforma.

Source

Política

A mi parecer este es el aspecto principal de la película, a pesar de que el desarrollo tal como se menciona en la sinopsis es de un joven que, con una vida desenfrenada por los placeres lejanos al palacio, este desea lo mejor para su pueblo, gobernar de una manera distinta a su padre y a otros reyes corruptos que sin duda abundan en la historia. Quizás sea un pensamiento común en los espectadores, pero la verdadera política tiene diferentes rostros donde hacer lo correcto es un camino pedregoso lleno de obstáculos e incluso espinas que lastiman en este caso al rey.

Esta producción nos muestra esa otra cara de la política, donde el rey siente hacer lo correcto y lo más benevolente no solo para su pueblo sino también en beneficio de otras naciones, evitar la guerra es de esos planes que desea pero que no parece posible ante las ambiciones de otros que se sientan en el poder, personas sentadas tan lejos como las que se codean junto al rey.

Source

A mi parecer este drama inmerso en la política es bastante atractivo, haciendo sentir que el camino del a política es siempre complicado a pesar de que las intensiones son las mejores, la paz es tan frágil que siempre existe un camino corto al conflicto. Esto es lo que nos trasmite la película de muy buena manera.

Fotografía y Ambientación

Este es otro de esos aspectos que le favorecen a este film, su fotografía es bastante buena con una paleta de colores con un tono oscuro resaltando la ambientación. Esta producción es muy bien ambientada, vestuarios impecables, armaduras de los guerreros en algunos casos con buenos paisajes alrededor, es un trabajo técnico bueno desde mi punto de vista.

Source

Acción

A pesar de que disfrutamos de algunas escenas de acción, este no es el genero predominante en el film, aunque la acción y las batallas se introducen de buena manera y generan esa sensación de inestabilidad política y sus consecuencias en los campos de batalla. Las batallas no son tan comercialmente fascinantes, pero a mi parecer complementan de buena manera la historia dramática que sustenta la película.

Source

Actuación

Esta película incluye un buen reparto, siendo significativa y sobresaliente la actuación de Timotheé Chamalet, el joven protagonista realiza una muy buena actuación con un enfoque claro en su personaje, las miradas y gestos sobre todo en los momentos de silencio le hacen sobresalir en la pantalla, algo que me parece bastante difícil. Pienso que este joven actor de solo 26 años que para esta producción era obviamente más joven tiene una formidable carrera actoral por delante, consiguiendo papeles importantes y demostrando su calidad. Estoy seguro de que veremos más producciones y actuaciones memorable de parte de Chamalet. Este joven actor le veremos en una adaptación de un clásico del cine llamado Wonka para 2023 interpretando a Willy Wonka de joven, esperemos que sea un trabajo de calidad y entretenido.

Source

¿Personaje que a mi parecer Sobró? (Mi Opinión)

A mi juicio el personaje interpretado por Robert Pattinson llamado el Delfín, es un personaje que quizás se sale por momentos de esa tensión dramática, un personaje irreverente en exageración y que con un tono de burla enfrenta al rey de Inglaterra. Así como lo mencioné anteriormente no tengo conocimiento de las obras de Shakespeare y no pongo en duda su trabajo, sin embargo, creo que en el film este personaje no me parece adecuado, hubiese preferido un antagonista más afianzado en la estrategia que en la burla siendo un contrincante bastante difícil que el Delfín.

Source

Puntuación:

7.9 ⭐️

Opinión Final

Me parece una muy buena película con buena dirección por parte de David Michôd, una película con un sabor distinto a lo que normalmente ofrece Netflix en sus producciones propias al público, siendo un poco menos comercial, pero otorgando una adaptación interesante de una obra de Shakespeare, evidentemente narrada para un público amplio. A mi parecer es una película de drama histórico interesante y que vale la pena verla. A pesar de que sus premios no son tan prestigiosos es una producción que se merece estar en la sección de películas premiadas en Netflix.

Me agradan las películas históricas ambientadas en la edad media, siempre el choque de las espadas y el ambiente de medieval es atractivo desde mi perspectiva. Pienso que esta película no es una grandiosa obra de arte, pero cumple al espectador. Quizás deja en segundo plano la acción y las batallas en gran parte de la trama sobreponiéndose el género dramático, pero aun con este aspecto pienso que puede ser una película para el público en general.

Source

¿La Recomiendo?

Si, es una historia envolvente acompañado por intriga y buenas actuaciones, una historia política medieval que seguro captara la atención ayudada por su buena fotografía, es un drama interesante que nos coloca incluso a reflexionar sobre los altos puestos políticos y las amenazas que ello conlleva. Se debe tener en cuenta que no es una película de acción y aventuras, sin embargo, puede ser una película interesante para un gran segmento del público.

Source

Es un placer escribir para todos ustedes, espero que este post sea de una buena referencia para esta producción. Por supuesto, teniendo en cuenta que todo lo anteriormente escrito es bajo mi propia visión y perspectiva individual. Estoy atento a sus comentarios y opiniones sobre este film.

[English Version]

Hello cinephiles, it is a great pleasure to write again for all of you. Sometimes I go through the section of award-winning films in the great catalog of Netflix, I like to see some productions that are worthy of awards and that are accepted by critics, clarifying that I do not always agree with professional critics regarding their assessments on some films, however, in this section we can find some classic gems of the seventh art as well as good current productions, I have included in my content about movies this section that I find really interesting. This time I want to comment on a film inspired by works of William Shakespeare called King.

Source

This is a 2019 movie, it is a drama set in the life of Henry V in the 15th century, an involving story around a young man who becomes king of England. Owned by Netflix being a participant in its production and of course in its distribution manages to make a film of Australian origin with very good acceptance especially in that region.

Synopsis:

Hal, is a young prince who has a life diverted to the palace and the main affairs of royalty, his unbridled life is interrupted by the serious illness of his father, his duty is to rule England from very young and inexperienced in politics. Internal and external threats shake the thoughts of the new king and he must face them to achieve the stability of his people.

Film Analysis

William Shakespeare

It is undoubtedly one of the most recognized names of our history, this significant illustrious of the global culture performs works based on the life of this king, specifically Henry V, now, if adapting a literary work to the big screen is complicated, taking a work of Shakespeare to live action must make producers tremble, usually the outcome between the readers and the film work concludes with negative reviews, on the other hand, having the essence of Shakespeare in a film production in my opinion is attractive, causing great curiosity around the film.

I must confess that I am not a fervent reader of Shakespeare's works or this kind of readings, my focus, as well as I demonstrate in this post is mostly on the seventh art, so I do not know the differences between the literary works and Netflix's product. Perhaps the connoisseurs of his literary works on Henry V have a very different opinion than mine, knowing that Netflix is a money making machine and must adapt the complexity of literary works to a production suitable for the general public, having that aspect on the table we can intuit that the story can change both in plots and especially the dialogues.

Being a production based on Shakespeare's works, it definitely caught my attention, I wanted to watch a drama with a good story set in the past, perhaps this is the main attraction for many users of the platform.

Politics

In my opinion this is the main aspect of the film, although the development as mentioned in the synopsis is of a young man who, with a life unbridled by the pleasures far from the palace, he wants the best for his people, to rule in a different way than his father and other corrupt kings that undoubtedly abound in history. Perhaps it is a common thought in the viewers, but true politics has different faces where doing the right thing is a rocky road full of obstacles and even thorns that hurt the king in this case.

This production shows us that other face of politics, where the king feels to do the right thing and the most benevolent not only for his people but also for the benefit of other nations, avoiding war is one of those plans that he desires but that does not seem possible before the ambitions of others who sit in power, people sitting as far away as those who rub shoulders with the king.

Source

In my opinion, this drama immersed in politics is quite attractive, making us feel that the path of politics is always complicated even though the intentions are the best, peace is so fragile that there is always a short way to conflict. This is what the film conveys in a very good way.

Photography and Setting

This is another of those aspects that favor this film, its photography is quite good with a color palette with a dark tone highlighting the setting. This production is very well set, impeccable costumes, armor of the warriors in some cases with good landscapes around, it is a good technical work from my point of view.

Source

Action

Although we enjoy some action scenes, this is not the predominant genre in the film, although the action and battles are introduced in a good way and generate that sense of political instability and its consequences on the battlefields. The battles are not as commercially fascinating, but in my opinion they complement in a good way the dramatic story that sustains the film.

Source

Acting

This film includes a good cast, with Timotheé Chamalet's performance being significant and outstanding, the young protagonist gives a very good performance with a clear focus on his character, the looks and gestures especially in moments of silence make him stand out on screen, something I find quite difficult. I think this young actor of only 26 years old who for this production was obviously younger has a formidable acting career ahead of him, getting important roles and proving his quality. I am sure we will see more productions and memorable performances from Chamalet. This young actor will be seen in an adaptation of a classic film called Wonka in 2023 playing Willy Wonka as a young man, let's hope it will be a quality and entertaining work.

Source

A character that in my opinion was left over? (My Opinion)

In my opinion the character played by Robert Pattinson called the Dauphin, is a character that perhaps is out of that dramatic tension at times, an irreverent character in exaggeration and with a tone of mockery confronts the king of England. As I mentioned before I have no knowledge of Shakespeare's works and I do not doubt his work, however, I think that in the film this character does not seem appropriate, I would have preferred an antagonist more entrenched in strategy than in mockery being a rather difficult opponent than the Dauphin.

Score:

7.9 ⭐️

Final Opinion

I find it a very good film with good direction by David Michôd, a film with a different flavor to what Netflix usually offers in its own productions to the public, being a little less commercial, but granting an interesting adaptation of a Shakespeare play, evidently narrated for a wide audience. In my opinion it is an interesting historical drama film and worth watching. Even though its awards are not that prestigious it is a production that deserves to be in the award winning movies section on Netflix.

I like historical movies set in the middle ages, always the clash of swords and the atmosphere of medieval is appealing from my perspective. I think this movie is not a great work of art, but it delivers to the viewer. Perhaps it leaves in the background the action and battles in much of the plot overlapping the dramatic genre, but even with this aspect I think it can be a film for the general public.

Source

Do I recommend it?

Yes, it is an involving story accompanied by intrigue and good performances, a medieval political story that is sure to capture the attention helped by its good photography, it is an interesting drama that even places us to reflect on the high political positions and the threats that entails. It should be noted that it is not an action adventure film, however, it can be an interesting film for a large segment of the audience.

Source

It is a pleasure to write for all of you, I hope this post will be of a good reference for this production. Of course, keeping in mind that everything previously written is under my own individual vision and perspective. I am attentive to your comments and opinions about this film.

OPINIÓN

Esta película la tenia guardada desde hace un tiempo, solo por estar Robert Pattinson, desde que vi El Faro quede encantado con su trabajo y busque más películas de él, dejando esta en mi lista para verla en el momento oportuno. El Rey es una película basada en libros de Shakespare, con un guion escrito por David Michôd, tomando algunas de las escenas de los libros en una película con una duración de dos horas.

Una película basada en un libro de Shakespare, ambientado en la época medieval, con la interpretación de Robert y Timothée, eran varias de las señales que me llegaba a decir que podía ser buena esta película, una obra de poesía con peleas bien coreografiadas, pero todo fue una desilusión. En la primera parte de la película vemos al príncipe Hal rencoroso, inexperto, sin saber muy bien que hacer, queriendo solo la paz de su pueblo, con otras naciones, pero los otros mandos solo desean pelear.

En la segunda, vemos como Hal es impulsado por el odio, por el orgullo, haciendo las cosas sin pensarlo ni considerarlo, dando al final la vista de un rey que no sabe que hacer, esto no es tan malo a primera vista, es un punto de vista diferente de lo que ya hemos visto, aquí vemos a un rey descuidado y pretencioso, un inicio de un rey joven. Pero la simpleza de como puede ser mostrado hace que no tenga sabor alguno la película, es como si estuviésemos viendo otro capitulo de Game Of Thrones.

Las escenas de combates son tontas, simplemente se tiran al suelo e intentan apuñalar al otro, fuese sido suficiente esas escenas si no hubiese una guerra donde eran peleas en el suelo de quien podía apuñar al otro, además de no tener un distintivo diferente entre bandos, la armadura era igual, no tenían banderas para diferenciarse, así que podían estar apuñalando a un compañero sin saberlo, fue una escena poco planeada o planeada muy simple para enfocarse en el supuesto desarrollo del rey joven.

Siempre he tenido la creencia de que el cine, el arte o la música deben ser entendidos por una gran mayoría, no solo entregados aquellos que la analicen y le busquen una razón de ser, de ser así, seria consumida por pocos, esta película tal vez busca ser analizada y entendida, pero parece ser hecha con poco esfuerzo, así que no se puede saber si ese era el motivo del director o simplemente hizo un mal trabajo ¿Ustedes que opinan?
OPINION

I had saved this movie for a while, just because Robert Pattinson was there, since I saw The Lighthouse I was delighted with his work and I looked for more films about him, leaving this on my list to see it at the right time. The King is a film based on Shakespare books, with a script written by David Michôd, taking some of the scenes from the books into a two-hour film.

A film based on a Shakesparent book, set in medieval times, with the interpretation of Robert and Timothée, were several of the signs that told me that this film could be a work of poetry with well-choreographed fights, but it was all a disappointment. In the first part of the film we see the spiteful prince Hal, inexperienced, without knowing very well what to do, wanting only the peace of his people, with other nations, but the other commanders only want to fight.

In the second, we see how Hal is driven by hatred, by pride, doing things without thinking or considering it, giving at the end the sight of a king who does not know what to do, this is not so bad at first glance, it is a Different point of view from what we have already seen, here we see a careless and pretentious king, a beginning of a young king. But the simplicity of how it can be shown makes the movie tasteless, it is as if we were watching another episode of Game Of Thrones.

The fighting scenes are silly, they just fall to the ground and try to stab the other, those scenes were had been enough if they didn't have a war where they were fights in the ground of who could stab the other, in addition to not having a different distinctive between sides, the armor was the same, they had no flags to differentiate themselves, so they could be stabbing a comrade without knowing it, it was an unplanned scene or very simple planned to focus on the supposed development of the young king.

I have always had the belief that cinema, art or music should be understood by a great majority, not only those who analyze it and look for a reason for being, if so, it would be consumed by few, this film would Sometimes it seeks to be analyzed and understood, but it seems to be done with little effort, so it is not possible to know if that was the director's motive or he simply did a bad job. What do you think?

›Reseña fílmica: The King (2019)@vickaboleyn2249d
Ojo: Puede contener spoilers.

Fuente de la imagen: FilmAffinity

Era 1413 cuando Hal, príncipe de Gales (interpretado por Timothée Chamalet), asciende al poder como Henry V; en su herencia encuentra a una Inglaterra sumida en una serie de rebeliones civiles, mismas que decide solucionar por el bien de la nación. Si bien parecía que su reinado iba a estar marcado por su pacifismo, no se imaginó que una simple pelota de tenis y un intento de asesinato fallido lo llevarían a las tierras francesas a librar una de las guerras sucesorias más importantes de la historia.

Basado en la Henríada, o Trilogía de los Enriques escritos por William Shakespeare (Henry IV, partes I y II, y Henry V ) y en la vida del rey Henry V, David Michôd nos trae su propia visión sobre la conquista de las regiones francesas de Aquitania, Aguyena, Gascuña y Aquitania, tierras a las que, por línea paterna, le correspondían al monarca inglés.

Si bien no he tenido la oportunidad de leer esta trilogía en concreto (pero está en la lista de lecturas pendientes), me pareció muy interesante que nos presentara aquí a un Henry en toda su humanidad; es decir, a un príncipe Hal decidido a no cometer los errores de su padre y optar por la paz y la conciliación con sus enemigos. A un príncipe Hal muy cercano al pueblo (lo demuestra su amistad con sir John Falstaff, interpretado por Joel Edgerton) y preocupado por sus necesidades. A un Hal que, a sabiendas de cómo era la atmósfera de la corte, se deja influenciar por otros aunque trata de no dejarse llevar por sus emociones, tal y como podemos ver en su primer encuentro con el Delfín Louis de Francia (interpretado por Robert Pattinson).

Teniendo en cuenta la serie de conflictos que sucedieron en esa época, el optar por la paz era interpretado por algunas cortes europeas como un signo de debilidad; y así lo consideraron algunos de los nobles ingleses, quienes tenían sus ojos puestos en las tierras francesas, a través de las cuales pretendían expandir el dominio inglés por toda Europa. Este último detalle lo podemos ver en las escenas finales, cuando el Jefe de Justicia William Gascoigne (interpretado por Sean Harris) le confirma lo que Henry había descubierto tras su hostil charla con su esposa Catherine (interpretada por Lily Rose Depp): Que todo había sido un engaño premeditado para llevar a cabo la campaña militar y apoderarse de las regiones francesas. En pocas palabras, una buena parte de los nobles consideró a Henry un hombre débil y fácil de manipular para sus propios fines.

Las actuaciones del elenco estuvo de lujo; cada uno de ellos le imprimió su propia personalidad a sus respectivos personajes. Destacable es el contraste visible entre la solemnidad del rey inglés y la irritabilidad del príncipe francés, prácticamente un duelo de personalidades.

Una película recomendable para pasar esta cuarentena en casa, la cual invita incluso a la lectura de la trilogía que inmortalizó a este rey inglés.

›The King (film): Almost a great movie@gooddream2428d
While this film contains some factual information about events that took place during the Hundred Years' War, most of the film is fiction or based on various plays including some Shakespearean stuff - don't let that word scare you off, none of the dialogue is delivered in sonnets or anything.

Although it wasn't the specific intention originally to make it a Netflix exclusive, that is what it has become after a short run in just a few cinemas. Basically, the film has good and bad aspects to it and I'm kinda on the fence about whether or not to recommend this one.

As always i try to avoid spoilers but if you truly want to go into a film blind, it might be better to skip this or all reviews for that matter

source

The plot all centers around the rise of Henry V's rise to the throne and what happens thereafter. I do not know which parts of this are true and which parts of it are fiction so I'll just steer clear of that and say that at least from a cinematography point of view the early stuff, which is mostly about squabbling among royals, is done extremely well. The acting is sound, the lighting / costumes / sets are magnificent, and the music is perfect to build tension. However, it does start, even at an early part of in the film to seem as though most of the major players in this film, are very small and not believable as warriors.

source

I have no idea how big the actual King Henry was and I don't think anyone else does either, but 23 year old Timothée Chalamet is so "skinny-jeans skinny," that I just don't find it very believable any time he is involved in a fight. Whatever! I suppose it isn't important.

I think the underlying message of this film is the fact that "Henry" was very opposed to war, especially the ongoing battles with France that have existed all his life (which leads to a great deal of turmoil with his war-mongering father) but upon rising to the throne through the only possible avenue of succession, he quickly becomes at odds of actively pursuing the very battles that he loathed previously. I suppose it could be a "coming of age" combined with "power corrupts everyone eventually" type message.
[source](https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article20388854.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/0_The-King-review-pix-and-Main.jpg)
If figuring out deep, underlying moral lessons in creative dialogue-driven scenes isn't your thing then you'll be pleased to learn that there are some large battles that take place (several of them.) One of these battles is a Hundred Years' War battle that I actually have heard of: The Battle of Agincourt.

Even though they did put a lot of production value into these war scenes, I can't help but feel a little like they sometimes appear to be budget versions of Game of Thrones battles. In most of the skirmishes, they seem as though they maybe didn't have as much money as they would have liked to have had.

This is particularly noticeable when we start looking at the number of people actually on the battlefields. It's still entertaining, don't get me wrong, but at times they just seem kind of cheap.

Perhaps this is because Game of Thrones is still on everyone's mind and you can't tell me that this wasn't at least part of the equation when deciding whether or not to make The King at all. There is also the fact that Brad Pitt is a producer and Johnny Depp's daughter is involved.

source

One of the best performances came in the form of Robert Pattinson who plays the role of a French Royal named The Dauphin. His arrogance and insolence is done so well that I almost forgave Robert for "Twilight."
_{from the official [Netflix](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWOA1ZGywLbqmigxE4Qlvuw) channel}
Overall, i believe this film is decent but not great. It does get terribly boring at times and even though he is a fine actor, Timothée Chalamet's constant brooding acting style (seems like he is about to either cry or break something at all times) starts to seem a bit tiresome after an hour or so.

I also have a hard time believing that such tiny people would be capable of being any sort of intimidating physical force. I tend to believe that these whisper-thin baby-faces would be handled the same way that Paris was handled in Troy if we were being truly realistic.

If you are in to historical dramas, and generally I am, this might be for you. However, I believe you will end up in a similar situation that I did when I was frequently looking at my phone to get through the sometimes drawn-out dialogue bits, particularly at the beginning. Actually, i think that is really the only way I can recommend this film without encouraging the use of a remote control to skip some of it.

Overall rating!
