Just finished The King @netflix. I recommend. Highly enjoyable. Timothee Chalamet delivers a gloomy haunted brutal majesty. The battle is rightfully chaotic mayhem all bloody mud and creaking armour. Excellent pic.twitter.com/yiiqLRbDRV

- Here a history buff reviews the movie. While the movie is not historically accurate, it is still an amazing watch thanks to its plot and cinematography.
So I just finished watching The King on Netflix ... let’s begin with historical accuracy. I’ll say it’s about 1% to 2% a realistic depiction of the events of Henry V’s reign. But I don’t watch movies to learn history - rather to be entertained and I really enjoyed it! pic.twitter.com/rZBI9W89Es
