Cry God for Harry England 🏴 and St George 🏴how much we need this now as are heritage and culture are being decimated destroyed GRY GOD FOR HARRY ENGLAND 🏴 AND ST GEORGE 🏴
It doesn't matter I'm stuck with a royal family I despise or a tory-liberal government I didn't vote for, or a country whose biggest selling newspaper is the awful Sun, I wouldn't swap being an Englishman for any other nationality. Our humour, wit, irony, history, TV, graft, literature, and the bloody weather is what makes us. And no other country in the world could have given us Shakespeare or The Beatles!
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips straining upon the start. The games afoot, follow your spirit and upon this charge cry God for Harry, England and St. George.
Rhinobaby I totally agree. Thank you for using an eloquent argument that is constructive and shows there are still people in the world who appreciate the bard. I love this speech and the methods it can be used to interpret HOW it is spoken. I have always thought of this as a rousing speech
I love the constant side-by-side comparison of the Branagh and Olivier versions- it's wholly demonstrative of the spectrum of potential in Shakespeare's writing. It works in effete, measured, archaic patter, but it also works in dirty, accessible, vociferation. Surely the unwashed masses and the pretentious idiots can come together and agree that an actor is only ever as good as his script!
Beautiful, it's a shame it has to be affiliated with the BNP, or any party for that matter. It's a work of art, not a political machination that Olivier/Brannagh have acted out.
