The King - Kings have no friends because they are always manipulated

In medieval Europe, when the black plague ravages the land, Hal, a prince who has never embraced the royal life, is forced to be crowned as Henry V. In the light of the new developments that emerged while he was living a quiet life among the people, Hal, who had to return to the life he had given up, can be a good or bad example of how power can change a person. I can say that this is all about the perspective that can be provided by considering the conditions of the period.

I find the beginning of the story of The King important in terms of the dilemma that a person experiences during the journey from being a prince to a king and the times when he has to go back to what he has given up. As the story of the movie progresses, the change that Hal, the prince, and then Henry V. undergoes leaves people astonished.

In fact, they are the same person, but they are so different from each other in what they do and what they don't do that you wonder what has changed and you realize that the only difference you can find is the change between before and after he became King. I don't know who would be surprised by what human beings can do once they have power, but I'm not surprised because we have the opportunity to observe this every day in many areas.

The story of the movie and the transition scenes of the characters in the story make the movie valuable. The movie can be called a biography, but it fits into many genres in the sense that it focuses on the life of a person and the lives of those around him rather than presenting his life in a monotonous way. This distinguishes it from some boring biographies.

The movie The King not only focuses on the life of a King, but also on the war between the English and the French in medieval Europe. I enjoyed watching the intrigues that led to the war and the scenes of a King being manipulated. In movies about such historical events and wars, I like the intrigues inside the palace the most. I think no matter how successfully the battle scenes are shot, I am more interested in the intrigues inside the palace and the scenes of manipulation.

The harmony of the historical places where the movie takes place with the story is what attracted my attention the most while watching the movie. Thanks to the atmosphere created, it was quite easy to take the audience to the unknown history of the past. Of course, the costumes used in the movie have a lot to do with this, but I would still like to put the atmosphere created in the locations where the filming took place at the forefront.

The strategies that changed the course of the war proved how useful intelligence is, especially when weapons suitable for close combat are used. Intrigue, on the other hand, shows the fact that wherever there are people, it will not be difficult to maintain its existence. Even though the dates change, the consequences do not.

Timothée Chalamet, who plays Hal, was more humane and successful when he was a prince. After he became king, he was weak in the way he staged the change he underwent and reflected it in his dialogues. Perhaps his own internal reflection played a role in this. When he saw the truth and realized that he was being manipulated, the way he reflected the characteristics of his original character reminded me of the saying that good is good everywhere. I liked the scene where he comes to terms with his manipulator and the scene where he advises the girl he is about to marry to tell her every mistake to her face. I think it suited the movie and the story very well.

The King Fragman

I recommend watching The King. The movie takes the viewer back to a historical time and creates a fascinating atmosphere. Instead of being interrogative, it shows the effect of personal conclusions that have always been and will continue to be in people's lives on the results.

Thank you for being here and reading. I wish everyone who is going to see it a good time and I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did. Keep having a good weekend and goodbye!
