k, i'm just talkin about movies a lot this week.

when i was little, probably about 9 or 10,

daisy decided that it was time kathleen and i started being educated in the finer works of literature.

as we were too young to read them (at this point in time, i doubt i'd ever finished a book) she had us watch the movies.

so, i watched Much Ado About Nothing at age 9, Romeo and Juliet (leo and claire danes) at age 12, and Henry V at about age 10.

today, we're talking about Henry V.

i'm reading it in my Shakespeare class, and it brought back a lot of memories.

i remember being inthralled by the film.

i didn't get what was going on, that's for darn sure, i kept turning around and being like "what does that mean?"

but i loved it.

kenneth branagh is amazing, christian bale brings tears.

however, the most climactic and heart wrenching part is the song sung in the end, while kenneth branagh carries the passed baby christian bale from the battlefield, and all the english carry their dead.

i don't care how many times i hear the song or watch the clip. i get choked up.

here's that clip:

you really should watch the whole movie.

it's amazing.
