		Henry's grip on his countrymen's hearts was so firm that the conspiracy was reported to Henry by the earl of March himself, who had earlier been released from house arrest and restored to a noble (if not regal) position on Henry's orders.
		And the Chorus's speech with which Shakespeare ends the play, telling of Henry's death and his empire's destruction, yet balancing that with his continuing glory in the memories of his countrymen, is as objective a judgment as could be expected from the most disinterested of historians.

		Henry is an appointed symbol of majesty, and the action of the play is directed with the most elaborate care to show him doing everything that the age expected of the perfect king.
		Moreover, to portray Henry as the dupe of two scheming prelates, or as a crafty politician skillfully concealing his aims with the aid of an unscrupulous archbishop, is not consistent with claiming at the same time that he is the ideal king; indeed it is destructive of the moral epic purpose of the play.
		Henry was haunted I felt, not just by his father and their troubled relationship but also by the ghost of Richard II whom he invokes at the end of his famous "Upon the King" soliloquy.

		Henry V is a 1989 film directed by Kenneth Branagh, and based upon the Shakespeare play.
		The visual and verbal styles of the film are much grittier than the Laurence Olivier film (see: Henry V (1944 movie)), particularly with respect to the Battle of Agincourt scenes, which are strongly reminiscent of the battle scenes in the films of Akira Kurosawa.
		In contrast to the way most movies are filmed, the scenes in Henry V were filmed in the order in which they appear in the movie.

	Elden Street 'Henry V' Goes Back To Basics (washingtonpost.com)
		David Sher, director of the "Henry V" performed by the Elden Street Players, now in mid-run in Herndon, has found a way back to the play's original concept, in which the nature of heroism instead of imperial folly is explored, and soldiers follow their king "once more into the breach" against overwhelming odds.
		The story of "Henry V" concludes the saga of Prince Hal as outlined in parts one and two of "Henry IV." After a boisterous and drunken youth, the English prince ascends to the throne and begins to meet life head-on and in a more serious manner.
		Along the way, Henry reaches deep within himself to find the qualities of leadership that compel soldiers to follow him into horrific battle, exhorting them with one of Shakespeare's most famous speeches, ("We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; for he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.

		Like Bush, Henry V was mocked by his foes as too weak and soft to fight.
		Like Bush from Aug. 2 until Mar. 2, Henry V grew in purpose and in stature from the first moments of his expedition until its bloody climax.
		After Henry's declaration "I thought upon one pair of English legs did march three Frenchmen," the audience rioted, because the line "was interpreted as propaganda in favor of aristocratic England against revolutionary France," according to Lawrence Levine's account in his book Highbrow/Lowbrow: The Emergence of Cultural Hierarchy in America.

		By sheer genius, Branagh was able to present HENRY V in all of its nationalistic glory, just as Shakespeare wrote it, while at the same time adding an anti-war footnote that serves both as counterpoint and commentary on the Bard's message.
		King Henry's threats outside the gates of Harfleur border on horrific, and his "Feast of St. Crispian" speech to his men before the battle of Agincourt is perhaps the most soul-stirring call to arms I have ever heard.
		Henry IV deposed Richard II, so Henry IV could be seen as a usurper of the crown, but if his son succeeds Henry IV, Henry V would be seen as having an aura of legitimacy, as he ascended the throne by legal means.
