Seriously though that is part of the problem of substituting a film or a bowdlerized version for the original. Maybe that's why I like Kenneth Brannagh's Henry V so much.
I'm partial to the 1944 Lawrence Olivier version myself. It's pure war propaganda, of course, but it's stirring stuff. Wonderful musical score.
