Review
For years, aficionados of Ernest Hemingway’s writing have been eagerly anticipating a film adaptation that would do justice to the esteemed author’s signature style. Enter The King, a historical drama that tells the story of King Henry V and his journey into becoming a legendary ruler. The film, directed by David Michôd, is an epic masterpiece that captivates its viewers from start to finish.
The King stars Academy award nominee Timothée Chalamet as King Henry V, and Joel Edgerton as Falstaff, his closest friend. The two actors bring their A game to the table with their masterful performances both in terms of dialogue delivery and physical acting.
The storyline follows a young Prince Hal as he reluctantly takes on the role of king after his father’s death. As he navigates through political alliances and battles against neighboring kingdoms, Prince Hal transforms into one of England’s greatest monarchs. However, with this transformation comes difficult choices that put his morality to the test.
Despite being based on King Henry V’s real-life events in the 15th century, the film showcases themes relating to our modern times such as power struggles and moral dilemmas. The dialogue is crisp and gripping with Hemingway-esque brevity while staying true to 15th-century language patterns.
The cinematography is another standout aspect of The King. Cinematographer Adam Arkapaw has shot some breathtaking sequences set in dimly lit taverns or battlefields where every detail is captured perfectly – down to every drop of blood spilled during sword fights.
The costume designs are also worth mentioning; from regal robes to battle-ready armor – there were no shortcuts taken in making sure that each character’s costume fit their personality and background perfectly. This ensures that audiences can truly experience medieval England in all its glory right from their living room couches.
The soundtrack for this movie has been composed by Nicholas Britell who has created an engaging and stirring score appropriate for every scene’s mood. From the solemn, eerie choir piece in preparation for battle to the beautifully composed music accompanying a love scene, each musical piece complements its respective scene.
While The King initially debuted on Netflix, it still received critical acclaim as one of the best films of 2019 with critics praising its acting and direction. The movie garnered an aggregate score of 70% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is no small feat for any period drama.
Among accolades, The King received two nominations at the 92nd Academy Awards in the Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling categories.
In conclusion, The King is a movie that Hemingway himself would have loved to watch. It has all his favorite elements: strong characters, action-packed scenes full of suspense and an underlying message that leaves audiences pondering long after it’s over. Overall, David Michôd carefully crafts a tale that highlights human nature’s many facets while simultaneously showcasing medieval England’s perfect portrait.
