Movie cool stuff

I love this. Partly because Kenneth Brannagh does such a wonderful job of making late-Tudor language speak to a modern audience, but mostly because the words speak to something quite fundamental in the human psyche: you have the chance to be part of something bigger than yourself.

It's probably the means by which revolutions are launched. On the dark side of that equation it's also probably how many young (mostly) men have been led to their deaths in pointless wars. As was the case at Agincourt. Nevertheless, powerful oratory.
