Cumberbatch's act is worth watching too

I love how there are multitudes of different interpretations of this scene

He’s giving a lot of Russel Brand vibes in this 😂

David Tennants inflections and performance is absolutely amazing! I am understanding why some say Shakespeare’s work was meant to be performed and not read.

What i love most about Hamlet is that when he's being crazy, the actor portraying him can play it however he wants. This was my intro to Shakespeare and i will never not love Tennants amazing performance

David can be watched and listened to endlessly, he is beautiful

I wish I could have seen this!

David Tennant ladies I am so confused I've heard the song Counting Stars but I'm more like counting confusion you have me confused what are Dell what are you saying you are not making any sense not even if you were playing Darkwing Duck would you be making any sense why I do not understand Shakespeare

"I don't well understand that." love that line

1:33 what was that

i almost forgot to watch this today

3:33 I LOVE THIS

Can we approve how Horatio is the only one to give this small bow to Hamlet at the end?

The best version of Hamlet I’ve ever seen

Leaving aside the acting, and it's very, very good, I've always been struck by the absolute genius of the writing here. Shakespeare isn't on that pedestal for nothing...

Dirty Brian and Alec Hardy

Tennant sold this performance for me. His acting capacities portrayed Hamlet as he was written: a man in mourning pretending to be insane. Most actors who portray Hamlet do so with far too much solemnity. Tennant puts the humanity and insanity back into the character!

Ok but the last 4 notes from the recorder made me laugh

Advert for Grammarly at the beginning. How far we've fallen.

3:26 toot

Try reading no fear shakespeare with this and it's pretty interesting.

2:41

Hey

love this :) i always get happy when producers aren’t afraid to showcase how close hamlet and horatio really were. they were absolute best friends and it makes me a little sad when we don’t see that often in other productions of hamlet

Honestly one of my favorite scenes from the entire performance

I think the scene could have been stronger if Rosencrantz & Guildernstern & Polonius were allowed to be strong - instead of just making them stooges for Hamlet's jokes, that he can do & say anything he wants. It becomes tiresome.

Usually when David acts scary, to me his adorableness gets in the way. This was not 1 of those times.

Ooooooh! He plays Three Blind Mice as the hey leave!

Don't blink! If you blink... "not to be"!

Tennant is amazing.

I'd play upon David Tennant's pipe :3

What happened to "Your wisdom should show itself more richer to signify this to the doctor..."?

I've never known a sexier madman

This proves it... Bow ties are cool.

he wanted to make sure there were no angels in the room.

This is crazy good.

1:37 I loved how he slowly blinked. lol

it's like watching the doctor performing in some parts!!XD

@DavidTennantsLover7 : he did some lines, i noticed that and went back to the script of the play and saw the lines that he skipped. Mayb the director felt those lines skipped were not too important to the overall effect of gloom and doom portrayed in Hamlet's soliloquy. Or maybe they skipped it, because it's so freaking long (trying to save time, wouldn't blame them). Still a very emotional speech though

The bit about fortune makes me giggle

Barefoot :-D

Thanks a lot for the video, this is a Great Hamlet, modern and tortured wonderful cast.....David is such a great actor, he gives strong emotions it' s impossible to look away from the intensity of his wonderful eyes!!

Holy crap. The "what a piece of work is man" was already my favorite. Now it's more my favorite.

I have read hamlet over two and a half years ago. I remember the KIng told Hamlet about Cludious killing him, but was Hamlet contempleting suicide an act or was he actually suicidal. Suicidal and vengeful. THe closes modern day character that comes to mind is Martin Riggs from Letahl Weapon.

"mmmm with drink, sir?" He's brilliant.

what film is this...im trying to download it?

isn't that supposed to be güldenstern? o.O xD

I liked Branagh's performance.. infinitely better than Mel Gibson. But, I must agree with all that said many speed through these "rants" that Hamlet is known for. Reminds me of when we had to recite Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Rush through before you forget it all without really considering what it means. I hope any future performances David does with RSC are also produced for film. Shakespeare has always been my favorite. David Tennant just makes it better.

oh gosh, the clicking teeth thing at the end is so Doctor

When Hamlet got angry David Tennant's Scottish accent showed. Great piece though.
