was hamlet a lunatic?

Is that Andrew Scott?

Pure genius delivery!

This is the ONLY portrayal in which I can actually understand WHAT Hamlet is saying. Andrew Scott COMMUNICATES the language; he doesn't just try to recite it beautifully.

"why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners?" is INSANE

By far the whitest thing I've seen

Dude talks like Super Eyepatch Wolf.

does anyone know where I can watch this play? I can't find it anywhere. please.

i think Im wierd to find this whole act extremely funny. such twisted humour, Thats what most guys in college would tell you about themselves, if you ever liked them at all- we're all good for nothing, what's wrong with you, arrant knaves. :')

HE CHUCKLES

1.10- this is so iconic, i wish I could slap this scene on the faces of most people on earth whenever o see some idiocy. Or maybe just hope they read hamlet some day. Fools. People beyond their capacity, capability or eligibility trying to put up an act....... Bores me to death. Bores me to death.

Damn, i loved him so much in college i watched his hamlet before its indian adaptation. I think yhe indian actor might have taken inspiration from Andrew.

Uh oh. Someone is having a case of the Mundays!

Too effing slow.

This scene explains Hamlet’s hesitation so perfectly, and Scott makes it so understandable. His portrayal of Hamlet is perfection.

Very well done. Makes the language understandable.

i love this monologue so much

I love this acting, truly top notch for the modern idea of what Shakespeare is, and the seriousness on Ophelia's part is spot on to character, although there is no equivalently love-brutal scene in the source, but even with this I gotta give it to Gibson for being the only Hamlet I've seen so far who (still incompletely) engages with the brutal irony of every word in H/amlet/h's speech. Shakespeare was writing from the Ur-Hamlet and/or from Fratricide Punished, all of whom were writing from the Gesta Danorum, and Saxo's Amleth is simultaneously hilarious, brutal and deadly serious all at once. The hilarious part of that undercurrent is missing from almost all of them. Which, to be fair, is not surprising--it is incredibly hard to be both deadly serious and funny (and therefore for your words to hurt even more) at the same time.

That’s a powerful performance.

Anyone knows where i could find the whole play?

Tis All About The Pauses Apparently

Best version ever

Best version ever

Love this

Andrew Scott is the best hamlet ever

He is an assassin

I might be biased because I saw him in the Sherlock Holmes series, but his eyes convey hamlet’s broken character very well

Honestly, this is incredible. Absolutely amazing.

This is an absolutely astounding reading. Love it!

This is the way Shakespeare should be done. Without maneurism, humanely, relatable. Amazing performers.

there is no anger, in hes voice, no emotion,and you can see hes reading from a script.

😂😂😂 sorry. "Get thee to a nunnery" is insane😂😂😂

Get thee to a nunnery! ❤️❤️❤️

Wat moet die Mies hierbij ?!

Meh. I like Andrew Scott but this is ... not great

I wonder will the new audience of Andrew Scott fans smitten by his performance in Ripley eventually find there way here.

Idk what's going on I'm hella confused 😐

The interaction between these two is fantastic. Her face speaks more lines than all Shakespeare has ever written. Incredible...makes the whole scene become so alive and real.

That woman belongs in Hollywood. She's so into the roll it genuinely didn't seem like acting at all. He's like a child compared to her. Bravo.

they both speak so strangely. like in another age or something lol

if Ant and Dec had a child together it would look like him.

To be fair it's only two minutes of AS' Hamlet; but they're spot on and very grand indeed X

The play is the thing

“Look at little Hamlet Junior! Gonna cry?”

when he does it, he actually expresses the humanity of the character.

The first 30 seconds... devastating. The way Ophelia nods both times, but in the end shrugs (what else was there to do?) and says in the most heartbreaking, acquiescing way "I was the more deceived"

Unsafe flower onion

Goosebumps....Literally

Фууууууу хватит грудь гладить. Ты плохо прочитал лоооооох.
