The Notable Movie

“The King” (Netflix Film) ― Nov. 1

Details: “The King” is a period drama loosely based on both a series of plays by William Shakespeare (the “Henriad”) and the historical events of the Hundred Years’ War in 1300s and 1400s Europe. The movie follows King Henry V (played by Chalamet) as he rises to the throne of England and has to face a war with the kingdom of France. In the movie, King Henry V must thwart both his supposed advisers and the heir apparent of France (played by Pattinson), who wishes to topple the English crown.

Timothée Chalamet, Lily-Rose Depp and Robert Pattinson star. Joel Edgerton co-wrote the movie and also appears in the cast.

“The King” runs 2 hours, 20 minutes.

Read on: Rachael Bunyan explained the Shakespearian source material in Time:

What are Shakespeare’s Henriad plays about?

William Shakespeare’s famed Henriad plays, loosely based on events that took place during the 15th century, span from Richard II to Henry IV, Parts 1 and II, and Henry V. The plays chronicle the rise of the Lancaster branch of England’s House of Plantagenet in the 15th century, with a focus on politics and diplomacy, war and betrayal.

In the first play, the Lancasters ascend to the throne of England, as Henry Bolingbroke — later King Henry IV — deposes his cousin King Richard II. Prince Hal, played by Chalamet in “The King,” is the central figure of the later plays — which cover his young life of debauchery and camaraderie with his friend Sir John Falstaff (Edgerton) to his eventual rise as King of England and subsequent disregard for his old friends.

“The King” features aspects of the latter two plays, but with some key differences.
