I finally understand what people mean about Shakespeare's beautiful language..."Thus, my most royal liege, accusing it, I put it on my head to try with it, as with an enemy that had before my face murdered my father." That was simply one of the most beautifully heartbreaking lines I've ever seen performed. Tom's emotions and flawless acting perfect the beauty of Shakespeare's words, as they were meant to be performed.
that face... those eyes......then the guy rips him off the Throne I coulden't help it, when he grabbed Hal's shirt like that I flinched I was sure he was gonna hit him, Dang Tom your mentally really strong!!
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?
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.
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.
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.
when tom cries it breaks my heart, omfg why does he have to be so precious.
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!

That was so powerful. :( this is a beautiful performance by Tom in these 3 films.
Best scene in this episode. The emotion is just breathtaking!
Two of my favorite English actors together in one of the most beautiful scenes of Shakespeare.. My heart hurts from how good this is.
When Tom started to cry he didn't look like a king or a powerful man. But a boy. With a burden. 🥺

I thought he was in for a proper hiding from his dad. I would have died at that!

I wish people still talk like that today
The reason they sound so impressive is that they are speaking the words of William Shakespeare.
Excellent performance by Tom and Jeremy Irons
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

That is so so so sad I want to cry
when you call over to your friends house and he after pissing off his foreign dad
Now that I think about it, I don't think I've seen Tom cry like that. It's weird.... I don't like it. Don't cry Tom! :(
Its called acting...

Poor tom! He looks like a kid being told off by daddy. I actually screamed some very mean words at the guy attacking him.
May I remind you that the guy yelling at Tom is the voice actor for Scar in The Lion King
