This picture really makes an effort to make this play interesting for you.
Its gimmicky presentation does not eclipse the substance of the movie and provides a wonderfully immersive experience, first invoking the atmosphere of the Globe Theatre back in the day with vivid detail before gradually phasing into a a powerful picture of war with the rose tinted glasses of patriotism.
I don't know if that's what the play was meant to be about but as someone cynical about war and patriotism, even I found something engaging in this portrait of a King who went above and beyond for his land and his people, with wit and charisma.
Production is lavish too.
