I recently watched The King, a contemporary reimagining drawing from Shakespeare’s Henry IV and Henry V, apparently designed with younger audiences in mind. It's well known that much of Shakespeare's depiction of Henry V is based on accounts passed down through time, but his speeches before the battles at Barfleur ('Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.') and Agincourt (‘We band of brothers’) have become iconic and are considered some of the most powerful battle speeches ever written. However, in The King, Henry’s speech at Agincourt lacked any real emotional impact; it felt like a toned-down, modern, politically correct version that I struggled to accept. The film presents Henry (Hal) as someone who avoids conflict and is hesitant to take charge, also showing him as somewhat frivolous around Catherine of Valois. I thought Timothée Chalamet’s portrayal of Hal felt too contemporary and wasn't believable at all. He appeared unwilling to do any of the things the historical Henry V actually did. The battle sequences were quite realistic, and the visuals were excellent, but… It seems like another attempt to cater to a politically correct millennial audience, simplifying and altering both Shakespeare’s work and historical events into easily consumed pieces for those who are easily offended today.
