Falstaff's helmet, most notably the visor, is of a slightly older design than the contemporary ones used by most of the other foot knights and infantrymen we see in the movie. A somewhat small detail that most people might not pick up on, but one that proves Falstaff's being an older warrior of another period. It was very cool to see such attention given to the armour and weaponry, not the standard biker gang metal studded leather and swords for everyone historical movies tend to have. This movie really flew under the radar wich is a real same. Great performances all around and this version of Falstaff was just fantastic.
@@splinter360 I've only ever seen him in The Thing 'prequel'. I do remember thinking that (whoever he was) his acting in the final scene in the snow mobile was really good.
“Too often, have i seen men of war, make work for themselves, work that leads to nothing but vain glory and slaughtered men, i am not that man, you are not that man either” wow the weight of that line when you finish the movie and realize Hal did exactly that even if he didnt intend it, even if he was tricked into it... in truth its not the man Hal was, but its the man he became through deception
Falstaff in fiction embodied the real historical Edward Duke of York, who advised Henry when he became king and gave his life defending Henry when both fought in the vanguard at Agincourt.
Actually the kings life was saved by a bodyguard of his a welsh peasant who was a brick shithouse he suffered a mortal wound in saving Henry im ashamed I forget his name but it is written in the history books.
Joel Edgerton should win not one but several Oscar. Magnificent actor. Smartest writer and great director. The more you know about him, the more you get obsessed with him and his work and contribution to the seventh Art.
One of the best of the Bard's many great supporting characters. A man with obvious flaws, but not concerned with pride, but with honor. Consumed with duty.
When Henry threatens John it feels like a puppy barking at a bear or a boy lashing out at his father. Even a king had no authority over a man with such brutal experience.
As good as every other actor was in this movie I couldn’t help but feel attached to this character when it started. The ending left me pretty upset for Sir John Falstaff a man with great wisdom in a time where many men couldn’t be taught in schools as commonly as today. That type of intelligence was only earned through age and experience
nothing breaks a man quicker and harder then experiencing what society deems as good and virtuous and personally finding out it's the exact opposite. He's has seen war and knows how terrible it is yet everyone around him hold him in high regard save for his drinking. He turns to drink because he has no one around him to turn to - a true troubled soul
There was something so brutally tragic about the whole of this story that will always stir up strong feelings in me. What a beautiful tale, so well acted
Great character, definitely different from the story but it was great for the film. Falstaff probably new he was going to his death. He was done with all of this.
There were John Falstaffs at agincourt. At Trafalgar. At the Somme. In the sky's above Kent in a hurricane. Forget John Bull. The true spirit on the UK is men like sir John Falstaf.
Nah at least ancient soldiers mostly only had to worry about what they could see. Modern Warfare with all its hidden bombs, long range attacks, and various other difficult to sense attacks is far more terrifying. In ancient warfare you know chances are you’ll be safe in your tent until the time comes to face off on the field. In modern war you could be bombed at any time, that fear and anxiety will haunt you every waking moment.
@@justskiddingaround-idontkn7519 I would argue when it came the time to fight, ancient warfare's brutality must've done so much to a fragile human mind as you sensibly beat the living shit out of another human with a sword, rock, or even hands. Although this is not a competition of how traumatizing warfare is, it should never be one. Warfare at all costs is something that should be avoided as future generations go on.
@@tiznaeshnishto2584nah its a natural part of human behavior, we feud with eachother and go to war over land, same as prides of lions packs of wolves hyenas and most group animals, if there was no war the world would have ended many years ago from overpopulation lmao
@@daldan66 So what's unnatural about being sniped from 300 meters away? I will say that there appears to be more contiguity between our atavist origins and whatever Falstaff suffered but when clicking a button does your killing, who's to say what stains the soul more?
The French fought the like gentlemen the English fought like animals they had no right to win this war outnumbered on foreign terrain no heavy horse and they literally wiped out the entire French nobility strategic genius.
Well the English didn’t win but they won many battles and took half of France After this. But once Henry the fifth bedford Salisbury and lastly the duke of York got killed,died or got sacked the English slowly lost and eventually every territory except Calais was taken back
Hey, you really need to remix this audio. The music is too loud and it distracts from the most distilled and succinct characterization of the Netflix Falstaff that I have come across. Amazing work, otherwise.

Yeah his helmet was from the crusades
Impressive observation that.
Does anyone have a source for it? I want one for hmb
FOR THE KING AND ST. GEORGE!
Swords were much to broad for this time period
“Never have I felt so vile than standing victorious on a battlefield "
John Falstaff, the man who says nothing useful in peace, and nothing useless in war.
nice
Yours??
Or someone else’s quote?
@@cuchulain1647 Mine.
This.
Is that an insult or a compliment. Because hundreds of Englishmen beg to differ if it was such a defamation.
Seriously how does Joel Edgerton nail that Lancastrian accent?? I'm Lancastrian and I can tell you every word he says is perfect! What an actor!!
Yeah he's amazing man. Seen him in Black Mass & Warrior? Great in those too.
True that
@@splinter360 I've only ever seen him in The Thing 'prequel'. I do remember thinking that (whoever he was) his acting in the final scene in the snow mobile was really good.
As a Yorkshireman you are fucking bang on.Nothing more striking than the Lancashire accent.
He's a good actor.
‘A King has no friends. Only follower or foe’
Falstaff’s death was a huge loss for Henry because John was truly the only friend he actually ever had
Long live the homie falstaff. He’s the best friend everyone needs.
He had to die for Hal to become The King. He knew what he did , with purpose, til the end.
He was underrated and made this movie for me.
👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

His name was also taken from an commander later in the hundred years war

@@captainloaf4767His name was Dafydd Gam.
@@jpohl1968 really? Didn't a Welshman also save Edwards life at Towton and was given an honorary title afterwards.
How do we win an unwinnable battle?
Falstaff: You fight without horses and without armor.
Council: WOT?
loool I'm trying to find that scene. Love it
@@splinter360 If someone doesn't upload that scene soon, I guess I'll have to.
@@Adino1 Haha let me know when you do.
Lol that’s scene is so funny I loved it 😆👍
Falstaff made this movie
I fucking love this movie. Acting Script Actors Soundtrack Everything about it. What a good fucking movie
Fucking amen.
Joel Egerton and Sean Harris are fast becoming my favourite ‘medieval actors’, seriously their roles in this and the green knight were phenomenal
Galatians 5:26
“Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.”
Absolutely beautiful editing my friend.
I come back to this video sometimes to rewatch 👍
This was probably the biggest twist in the story. I did NOT expect Falstaff to follow through
“I was built for this.”
I die here.
Or I die over a bottle in Eastcheap.
Joel hit it out of the park with this performance, brilliant.
Joel Edgerton should win not one but several Oscar. Magnificent actor. Smartest writer and great director. The more you know about him, the more you get obsessed with him and his work and contribution to the seventh Art.
Joel Edgerton had the best accent and performance in this movie. He shined in every scene he had.
One of the best of the Bard's many great supporting characters. A man with obvious flaws, but not concerned with pride, but with honor. Consumed with duty.
Interesting character, but this is not Shakespeare's Falstaff (who famously has a speech against the notion of honour, and did not believe in duty.)
The Leftovers has one of the greatest themes in TV history and its being used right here.
He was he backbone of this movie 🙌🏼
When Henry threatens John it feels like a puppy barking at a bear or a boy lashing out at his father. Even a king had no authority over a man with such brutal experience.
The only man that can say no to a King
Apart from the hound
A man who may be a drunk.. But indeed a man with conviction.
Beautiful video. Thank you.

Hal: are you ready for what awaits us?
Falstaff: one is never ready for what awaits us? ☝️😎
Joel Edgerton just kills in everything. Give the man a script worth his talents, and get the hell out of the way.

Loved this John over the one in the iron crown.
This film was SO good.
What a movie . Amazing
Joel is one of my all time favourite actors
In a galaxy far far away Falstaff continues his quest
Joe Edgerton is one of the finest actors working today.
Have to agree having seen this film.Seen him in a few things now and he seems like a fine wine.
Great character, definitely different from the story but it was great for the film. Falstaff probably new he was going to his death. He was done with all of this.
Reminds me of my uncles all in one person
My kind Sirs.
What did Sir John say at 2:29?
Best movie of all time. Literally Poetry in Action
A true armor bearer and man of Valor. FALSTAFF.
There were John Falstaffs at agincourt. At Trafalgar. At the Somme. In the sky's above Kent in a hurricane. Forget John Bull. The true spirit on the UK is men like sir John Falstaf.
He was a brave man.
Bro … you did not use the leftovers score …. This is PERFECTION!! Well done!!! 🧢 off
We know soldiers have ptsd from Iraq and Afghanistan. Imagine the demons the soldiers from these ancient battles had.
Nah at least ancient soldiers mostly only had to worry about what they could see.

My O. My, all that armour and not enough metal for spears
thx for be on my side
Looks good
For the King! And St.George!!
Good film.

Yup, sometimes fictional characters are much better than historical ones.
For the king and st george
It’s hard to make out what he says, then it isn’t.
