Hi, pardon my ignorance but what is a tracking shot? If it's part of this beautiful scene it certainly works well, And by the way I'm not a troll I'm just really curious.
***** A tracking shot is when the camera moves ("tracks") with the action. Our Ken is walking across the set, and the camera is moving with him, probably on rails. By contrast, a Pan is when the camera stays in a fixed location but swivels left-to-right (or vice versa). And no, you don't sound a bit like a troll - it was a fair question.
lomax343 Thank you, that's very kind and I do see the difference now. Lord, plain old audience like me never realize how hard movie makers work to please us.
3 minutes and 35 seconds...at a minimum...tracking shot/take...involving all the principles and probably a thousand extras, over about 200 yards of outdoor set laid out to portray the aftermath of a major medieval battle. An absolute masterpiece. I never saw a better.
Never was such a fabulous portrayal of the horrible cost of battle ever filmed! The glory given to God is just: but the pain felt by ALL just peoples is universal! Yes, I cry every time!
Hello, Callum Cope. Well, as was pointed out in an episode of the BBC "Sherlock" show, in which Sherlock is trying to save a puzzle to save a captive, and when John berates him for having no feelings, Sherlock WISELY answers, "this hospital is full of dying people! Why don't you cry at their bedsides, DOCTOR!" What is sad about dying in an epic battle is, I think, the same thing that is sad about dying in an earthquake, a plane crash, or a massive fire. A ship goes down and nearly a hundred years later our hearts and souls and imaginations are still captured by it. But no death, in my mind, is sadder than any other, unless I have the confidence tof faith that through Jesus they will live forever in Heaven. Last week, I almost lost my sister. We got her to a hospital just in time: the doctors said she was actually dying when she got there. She has saved MY LIFE at least 5 times that we are aware of, because we both have a similar life-threatening condition. But her death, or mine, is no more or less sad than anyone else's! To give your life for what you believe in, if you believe in the God of Love, is sad for those of us left alone, behind, but glorious eternally. Henry V took great pains to honor the dead on the French side (at least, in this play he did) and to hand-carry a child who should have been considered in a safe position by BOTH sides to the wagon that carried all toward the earth: our souls are equally hman, be we rich or poor, large or small, powerful or slave. To God every soul is worth saving. To die trying to help your pwople, whether history proves you right or wrong, is still to be noble in death. And now, as I think that through, I agree with you even more. What is sad is to die doing what you know to be wrong, what you know to be evil. To die in hatred, anger, or sin - THAT is sad.
I Doubt Any of them Thought it was wrong XD and they were all Highly Religious Men! most people were at the time, They believed the Bible 100% they believed god was on their side that their king's, were mandated by god, they all died Happy, with total assurance they were fighting for their King God and Country, so theyd end up in heven , and the hell that was their lives would finally be over,, i suppose The French Died abit sad stabbed to death while traped in their heavy suits of Armour sunk in the mud. The loosers will always be sad, they was still sure theyd go to heaven regardless. In combat Adrenalin kicks in, you only feel the best feeling in the world like Drugs while you fight for you're life, invigorate! Anger madness kill kill kill , they saw nothing wrong during nor after, the ones who died,,..Died happy, the living returned home heroes and got all the ladies, all the rewards of loot and fame, remembered in history forever, Not a bad way to go, THAT is GLORIOUS! Better than Dying slow in a Hospital... from illness ,,, better to die of war wounds knowing you die for a reason and die well. As in all likeliness When you Die You End in the same state you were before you were born. Nothingness. Just like a thrown away computer or all the bugs, Weir just like complicated machines. Their is No Sol If their was Brain Damage Wouldn't Cause Memory loss or change of personality. A sole would keep you're personality constant. Our personality is complicated program through time and evolution to solve problems and adapt. We are sadly over conscious , unlike other species so contemplate death far to much, and worry about it, 7 days in 1 week 4 weeks in 1 month 12 months in 1 year we only live for so many of them... and boy oh boy isent a day sure short and go by quickly! Anywayyyyyy Dying for a cause is great if it improve whats left of the short and 1 lives ppl have on the Earth.
To Callum Cope: You are quite right about the mindset of people at that time (those in Europe, at least), who DID firmly believe that God would fight for them. But being mistaken about God's plans and designs doesn't disprove the existence of a loving God who is also a just God. That is why He came to save us: Justice, like all other laws in the universe", is a constant, and when our first parents chose self-will over the will of their Creator, they acted unjustly. If God be God, then we will never fully comprehend Him or His Plans, and to claim that we do (or can, or will) is extreme hubris. But He came to us, He identified Himself to us, so that we might love Him and return to Him. You write as if you have been in combat, and I pray you returned uninjured physically if that be the case. No human being's life is worthless, or only temporary. Anyone who treats a person "like a thrown away computer or all the bugs" must live a solitary and sad life. But we have more than just big, evolved, hyperactive brains (which is what I think you were alluding to in your comments): and we are not programmed or programmable. God Himself NEVER forces Himself on anyone's soul: our choices must be free or they are not choices, not truly love. I'm not sure I can agree with your final statement, though. Dying for a cause can't "improve whats left of the short and 1 lives ppl have on the Earth", since, by dying, there is no life left. And dying "for a cause" doesn't improve anything if you are dying for the cause of genocide, racism, hatred, religious intolerance... a whole slew of "causes" that leaves your memory here on Earth tasting of blood. But to die to protect what you love can be a good thing: but it still depends on what it is you love so much to die for it. God loved us so much that He gave His only-begotten Son. And He rose from the dead, and opened the Gates of Heaven for all who have faith in Him, love Him, and keep His Commandments (that last part is often omitted, but it was Jesus' own words). I pray you will find His love. And His peace.
I've seen this countless times since I first saw it in the theater as a teenager. And tears every time. I'm a teacher now, and even when I show it to students, I have to stand in the back of the room so they don't see me weep.
The portrial of disgust and horror on Mr Branaghs face is something to behold, don't think I've seen a cinema moment like it, and doubt I will again, bravo !
What I love about this is that it more closely portrays what battle was really like back then. It wasn't 'noble' or 'heroic' it was bloody messy, gory, muddy and just plain awful. Just as senseless as it is today but the grit and the pain were more palpable than now where you can kill thousands with a missile fired from hundreds of miles away.
The blood and the mud. And the shameless ones to control the dead ones wishes and dreams. And the wakes for one's too. Brexit is sort of a mystery to me. Once proud nation, which for me was and still is the at the forefront of civilisation steping back and letting Germans rule Europe. So the English could rule djihadi Joe from Jersey and be happy about it? How? Why? Winston would never allow such things to happen.
anne Donovan and stil, after it, humanity, compassion and a sense to leave that hate behind in the hands of God. Not always present but wasn’t rare either
At 6:10, the herald Mountjoy restrains a group of grieving and angry French women from ganging up on King Henry as he carries the body of a fallen squire. This is one of those details that make this such a poignant scene of the aftermath of battle.
The band of brothers speech is perhaps the best known in this play: but I thought this was done superbly. I loved the scene when he tries to court Catherine.
Shakespeare was definitely NOT medieval - he belonged to the Tudor/Jacobian age when Early Modern English was spoken . If the play was using the English of the time of Agincourt, most people today would not be able to understand a word of it. There are many inaccuracies, not least the music used for the "Non Nobis" which was written specially for Shakespeare's production and is nothing like the Plainsong actually used in the medieval era, which has no harmonies and usually no musical accompaniment..
If all battles were like this, I firmly believe that war would soon end or be lessened. To see that your enemy is no more than just men, to look your enemy in the eye, to hear their cries, to be able to give mercy would make war so much bitter and sorrowful. War is too easy.
My favorite movie, ever. Branagh *is* Harry Monmouth. But please, it’s not “sed nomine” (sayd nomeenay) but “sed nomini” (sayd nomeenee). Tibi gratias.
Top 50?! This is and always will be my favorite soundtrack/favorite movie of all time! Grew up watching this over and over. It’s like a warm blanket by now.
Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tua gloriam. (Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Thy name give the Glory.) The "lyrics" are from a Hymn in Latin, derived from Psalm 113:9.
Historically for all the bravado and chivalry the English killed all the thousands of French that surrendered. Mind you the French did the same in similar circumstances. There really was NO chivalry at all.
total bullshit ransom was the highest way for paying for an army expedition and filling their pockets. 10000 French surrendering to an outnumbered opponent sure man. How many do you think they killed before they surrendered?
rolandscaffloc If it was, I'm sure IMDb would mention it, though I grant you it does look a bit like him. The kid being carried by the King is Christian Bale, though.
@@thomaswaters7533 he named four, then said "five and twenty" others. That makes a total of 29. The actual figures for Agincourt were 112-600 killed on the English side, and 1,500-11,000 killed and 700-2,200 captured on the French side. The figures for the sizes of the forces were 6,000 to 9,000 English, facing 12,000 to 36,000 French.
As Wellington may have said . " The only thing more melancholy than a battlefield lost is a battlefield won ". The cast in this film are outstanding ......
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how we do a tracking shot.

Kenneth branagh actually had to run to keep up with the end of the tracking shot. That's why he looked so tired coming back into the shot.
3 minutes and 35 seconds...at a minimum...tracking shot/take...involving all the principles and probably a thousand extras, over about 200 yards of outdoor set laid out to portray the aftermath of a major medieval battle. An absolute masterpiece. I never saw a better.
it just doesn't get any better than this superb production. It's magnificent and Branagh is the perfect Henry.
Before Branagh's Henry V I didn't like Shakespeare. After it I loved Shakespeare 😊

The portrial of disgust and horror on Mr Branaghs face is something to behold, don't think I've seen a cinema moment like it, and doubt I will again, bravo !
What a beautifully executed movie. Perhaps the best version of a Shakespeare play ever shot for the big screen.
This and Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet.
A list of the very best of English actors of the time.
Branagh is superb. He gives a flawless performance here.
What I love about this is that it more closely portrays what battle was really like back then. It wasn't 'noble' or 'heroic' it was bloody messy, gory, muddy and just plain awful.

Are you sure - I thought she was English and coming for the boy.
The boy that Henry was carrying was none other than a 14 year-old Christian Bale. I thought that was kind of interesting.
The band of brothers speech is perhaps the best known in this play: but I thought this was done superbly. I loved the scene when he tries to court Catherine.
this is the best film about the middle ages because of the overtone of William Shakespeare in the language of this epic picture just brilliant
Shakespeare was definitely NOT medieval - he belonged to the Tudor/Jacobian age when Early Modern English was spoken . If the play was using the English of the time of Agincourt, most people today would not be able to understand a word of it. There are many inaccuracies, not least the music used for the "Non Nobis" which was written specially for Shakespeare's production and is nothing like the Plainsong actually used in the medieval era, which has no harmonies and usually no musical accompaniment..
That has to be one of the movies most moving and memorable scenes. It never fails to make me weep.
The long one shot while Henry walks across the battleground is a marvelous piece of cinematography
Un grand moment de cinéma et une séquence culte absolue. La musique de Patrick Doyle est magnifique.
wonderful end to the battle. Shows that war is always horrible, whether with bow an arrow or gun. War is hell.
If all battles were like this, I firmly believe that war would soon end or be lessened. To see that your enemy is no more than just men, to look your enemy in the eye, to hear their cries, to be able to give mercy would make war so much bitter and sorrowful. War is too easy.
It is well that war is so terrible, else we should grow too fond of it.

The problem was the English didn't have the manpower to control that many captives who weren't likely to be ransomed anyway.
