I hated studying Shakespeare in school where they made us "read" it. Those poor foolish teachers did not realize that Shakespeare didn't write books to be read. He wrote plays to be acted. Thus, I didn't appreciate his works until I saw them upon the stage and, dear God, I became a fan. And this, "the Eve of Saint Crispin's Day", is the best of all. Did you ever have a leader who could inspire you like this portrayal of Henry V?

I had a great teacher who started each of the plays with "parallel" (rip-offs) to get our feet wet. Hollywood has been ripping off the Bard for as long as there has been a Hollywood. It's funny when you lot at the Lion King and realize it's Hamlet, or Bug's Life (Magnificent Seven, and Seven Samurai before that). English Lit becomes fun when you trace its origins... Filmography and plays even more so.
