Burton is the best of the six fine actors I have watched who have played Hamlet, The Dane. His strong Welsh voice was truly mesmerizing. I wish I could have seen him perform this live. We will not see his like again.
Leonard Nimoy has the most wonderful laugh. I sure he enjoyed this interview since he was a photographer also. I bet after the interview his picked Mr. Halsman's brain on photography. I would have. Actually, it would have been Leonard's brain I would have picked. I loved him. RIP Leonard.
“To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep- No more, and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to; ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep- To sleep, perchance to dream-ay, there’s the rub, For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause; there’s the respect That makes calamity of so long life: For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th’ oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely, The pangs of despis’d love, the law’s delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of th’ unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin; who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover’d country, from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the[…]” Excerpt From Hamlet William Shakespeare books.apple.com/us/book/hamlet/id916363037 This material may be protected by copyright.
To think Thanos could sound like this, yeah I don't think it would work that way. The result that Josh Brolin eventually delivered in the movies is phenomenal.
In college our english professor had us read hamlet so it was the only shakespearian play i ever read. Its genious and that Professor held in high regard Richard Burtons version. Yet he presented taming of the shrew by a actors ensamble whose performance was the best even better than the Elizabeth Taylor and Charles Burton. But i agree his hamlet is very good.
YaAll obviously ain’t seen/heard Kenneth Branaghs much later version in a more introspective voice expression than that of Burtons earlier times and his loud ‘ out there’ version but both versions appropriate for their times as Burtons was on stage and Branaghs filmed,so Branagh could take the volume down and the camera and audio could get up close for quiter speech.Capiche?
Too much acting at the expense of heart and understanding. Hamlet is talking to himself, not an audience. I’m surprised “directors” overlook this. We are flies on the wall, not the recipients of this speech.
Comparatively this performance Is much more of an angry seething passion the one before seems a quieter morose hamlet the lack of costume make this one more dark and gritty they are both quite marvelous and you can see the flash in his eyes that is both disquieting and mesmerizing as the fury and the passion of man possessed from the depths of despair and darkness his projections from his tormented soul out into the darkened theater that must have been electrifying I have rewatched it multiple time just to see it again and again and am blown away every time super intense
@@snowysnowyriverMost knighted thespians are usually involved in charity work beyond their theatre life. So don’t knock them solely on their acting ability.
Isn't this just Burton teaching Ophelia how to play Hamlet and himself remembering it again in a drunken stupor? This with all respect to Richard Burton and all his wives.
Moments before he appeared at his last Oscars I remember thinking someone is going to come out and announce that he's died. And then he appeared like magic. The night I read on IMDB that he died of a heart attack I burst into tears. Intuition can be a curse at times. Still, I was lucky to be born in his lifetime and see his magic on and off the screen. Always loved and never forgotten.
