[Henry V]

[(Anonymous)]

I can sort of understand... but even people who die young should get to have some romantic moments while they're still alive.

[(Anonymous)]

Gilderoy Lockhart and Trelawney.

[(Anonymous)]

Didn't he cheat on her with Bellatrix?

[(Anonymous)]

Still too soon, albeit true.

Maybe go for Much Ado About Nothing?

[(Anonymous)]

It's not as sweet, but you can imagine any ending you want.

Re: Maybe go for Much Ado About Nothing?

[(Anonymous)]

I found MAAB a lot sweeter actually, because it wasn't as sappy.

[amanuensis1]

When I first saw this and we get the epilogue with, "And made his England bleed..." I wept right there in the theatre.

[(Anonymous)]

That one line made me more upset than all of Shakespeare's tragedies put together

[amanuensis1]

Just--to have that dropped on you after all that wonderful story of struggle and miracle...I can still call up those memories of how I felt.

[(Anonymous)]

It's even worse when you know the history and the fact that literally everything Henry did was for NOTHING. Long process to get Catherine's hand in marriage? (Seriously, they were even suggesting it before he was King so that's a long time) All for nothing because they only got two years together. All the work in France? Nothing, France finally gets together and fights them off. Finally uniting England and having a reign of civil stability after tons of rebellions? Nope, huge civil war that ends with his son and grandson being killed and a large amount of England killed.

I think the best representation of it is in this documentary I watched where the guy was like 'A treaty was signed to give Henry the crown of France, Henry and Catherine married and had a son a year later, and everything was happy. Let's stop there.' I think Hollow Crown managed to make that line even worse by saying it AT HENRY'S FUNERAL.

Text: I'm never been able to enjoy how sweet and romantic this scene is because I know how their story ends. (Spoilers: he dies of dysentery, she's a 21 year old widow who marries a household servant and dies in childbirth, her and Henry's son is a terrible king who's overthrown and murdered, etc.)

Yes, but her line is the one that continues on and gives us Henry VII. It's not all bad! (Also, he survived the most awesomely inventive surgery of pre-modern times, so it could have been worse!)

[likeadeuce]

The face arrow thing or something else?

[ceebeegee]

Oh Kate, Kate--nice customs curtsy to great kings.

GOD, Branagh is hot in this scene!

[(Anonymous)]

Henry V made me a Kenneth Branagh fan, mostly because of this scene!

[(Anonymous)]

I really want to eloquently go into my Henry/Catherine feels (of which I have many even though we know so little about their relationship once they were actually married they were very demure and quite private which has led to a lot of debate about their relationship but I can't get off the 'they loved each other, maybe not absolute true love but they loved each other and if he had lived THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY DAMMIT) but I'm just going to sit here and squee about Henry V secret that references the history.

[likeadeuce]

I thought you meant Ken & Emma at first!
