Hiddleston leaves me in pieces, such is his talent when conveying those most profound emotions. Can watch his Shakespeare time and time again❤️🤗🙏

The way Tom Hiddleston was crying... I cry like that when I feel really sad about some incident or when I see any sad scene... love u Mr. Hiddleston ❤❤❤😭😭

Shakespeare belongs to humanity, not only the Saxon tongue,for he speaks to the human condition in all of us. he makes me dream, laugh and weep even when my native tongue is Spanish.

That is so so so sad I want to cry

I just hate that they cut Hotspur's monologue short :(

Armstrong was great as Henry Percy!

It's an interesting choice to have the scene happen in the throne room instead of Henry's chamber, and to keep the nobles around. The scene is a lot less intimate than it could be, and I think that does a good job of making it more earnest and less ambiguous. Because the camera followed Harry into the throne room, we get to *see* his tears instead of hearing about them from someone else, and the King and the nobles coming to him instead of him being the one to go back into the room puts his character in a vulnerable spot, which is a better testament to the truth of his feelings than when he gets time to compose himself and think about what he'll say. I don't mind that they shortened his defense of himself, because he looks so convincing that having him talk too long would have been counterproductive and look less like it came right from the heart. His contrition being witnessed not just by his dying, sentimental father but by his brothers and the lords also adds to the credibility of his speech. And for why the throne room specifically is better than a random one, the image of Harry not just crying in another room but crying on the throne itself, with the crown on, leaves no doubt to how little of a consolation they are to him and it's great. I don't mind versions where Harry comes across as a little more manipultive or more comforted by his new status, but this completely sincere interpretation is very touching.

I love the acting... but come on, the Prince of Wales and a high noble could afford better armour than that shit they're wearing.

It’s a shame that the talent of a Shakespearean actor is usurped by their appearance in the crap from America. Need to leave the CGI comic book stuff to them and embrace the simple majesty of the Bard ………..

No soldier or warrior ever waxed lyrical over his fallen foe on the battlefield. Flowery language was for courtiers, bards, and poets.

I WOULD BE HUNTED, said MERLIN of the DARK castle'd TIMES

Banished from ENGLAND, I stay in A town in WALES

SHOULD SPEAK AS THOUGH WOULD BE OF ENGLISH BLOOD, not of WALES but is in WALES, let the very day come that the Englishman would find a fight in battle...I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR SLAIN....and wait in the peripheral to my days LONG

Excellent performance by Tom and Jeremy Irons

Both of the opponents are brilliant!

3:00 I love how Hal pays true respect to Hotspur, almost sounding regretful of having to kill such a brave soul. Shakespeare wrote so much compassion into his plays.

I recently found out that I'm related to/descended from the Percy family 🙂

The battle of Shrewsbury actually started on the 21st of July 1403. Chronicles report that the battle took place on a balmy summer evening.

When Tom started to cry he didn't look like a king or a powerful man. But a boy. With a burden. 🥺

Tom was born to act as royalty, also why was i expecting him to say Asgard or Jotunheim?

Hiddlestone is surprisingly good in this!

They always make them look like contempraries. In reality, Hotspur was nearly twice Hal's age.

Just as I was watching this a snake sprang out from under my laptop striking at a gecko which it proceeded to devour head first, from the crown so to speak. Scry that as you might, but it was all very dramatic albeit the snake was not the largest I have ever seen.

Esta serie es la mejor serie ever dese Hollow Crown hasta The white Queen se cuentan los reyes ingleses que estuvieron en esa etapa de la historia

when you call over to your friends house and he after pissing off his foreign dad

If Tom dies, I die 😡

HOTSPUR IS SO HOT

What a bad surprise in the minute of triumphal victory.....

amzng greyt shw

this was the extract i did for alevel literature. iconic

You will note that the background is a snowy winter day but in fact, the battle was fought in July 1403 and the background would be a green summer day, not the grey snowy winter day. The lads who made the series should have checked that!

”Thao mother art gay!” ”Nay thee!”

Why are they fighting?

this is a reddit argument in medival times

Who came here from The King.

Nay.

My poor Percy :(

0:40 I know he says he's the prince of Wales but my brain keeps expecting him to say 'Asgard' or 'Jotunheim' instead xD

N'importe quoi

Isn't Henry Percy the founder of Tottenham?

And of course, Jeremy Irons is my all time fave for the role of King Henry IV, I've seen a lot of versions and he owns it!

At first I was kind of disappointed by this scene because I'm used to what I've seen on stage and screen in numerous other performances but after seeing this a few times, I really appreciate it's understatement and how it's also really powerful in it's own way. Especially how Tom looks like a child who knows (thinks) he has to put on the crown now and is taking the responsibility but thinking, perhaps, how can I do this without him? Must I be king at his expense?

Great scene but it's so sad that they cut that beautiful Hotspur speech when he dies. It means so much.

Well said Hal...

I’m currently doing this production, but I’m 12. Don’t hate on me lmao go look up childrensskakespeare.org. I am hotspur in henry iv part 1 I’ve been doing this since I was 6. I think it’s an amazing place where I can be myself and grow acting skills and tbh we act WAY better than your average musical theater company

Joe Armstrong is amazing :)

Pensé que perdería 😨casi se me sale el corazón y se rompe por él de nuevo 😭

Ça a inspiré une scène dans black mirror aussi

His growl!! ❤
