I love that I can come back to this every now and then, and still pick up something new.

[@WTFAnyNameWorks]

[@Thegameshadow1]

Truly outstanding!

[@muttleycrew]

What a magnificent thing this is. Plato speaking for Socrates... as performed by our own great Emperor -Claudius- Derek Jacobi.

Derek Jacobi, the first time I saw him was on I, Claudius. I was shocked about his brilliant performance.Not mentioning the rest of the cast. Now KZbin brings me here. Finally the algorithm is working.

I had seen him before - in the 70es in a somewhat older Chekhov play on TV and then in "Philby Burgess and McClean". I thought: That guy with the eyebrows - WOW! He´s something!. Then I got fascinated with Claudius - and HAD to go to London (Old Vic) 3 times to watch him play Hamlet! Luckily, the production also played at Elsinore Castle in ´82, where I got to watch it twice! :-) Lucky me!

[@MrUndersolo]

[@marcomikkers7310]

no he is autistic and the speach is terrible

[@Virtuallyjonathan]

Why the hell am I suddenly crying?! That was fantastic

[@esausjudeannephew6317]

You cry because the beauty of these words is overpowering

[@ThatTieDyeGuy]

Thank You, Mr. Jacobi!! That was freaking amazing :)>

How wonderful that Sir Derek Jacobi, who delivered the best "To be or not to be" speech (in my opinion), should now utter this wonderful Socrates' speech. Listening carefully, I realized this speech is the reverse of the first one : no despair, no fear, not wondering what is on the other side, but a quiet acceptance of one's date and hope for better things to come.

[@VidkunQL]

Conscience doth make cowards of us all, except Socrates.

[@esausjudeannephew6317]

Beautiful!

[@aldengagnonactor]

wowow what a performance! So subtle and nuanced yet powerful.

[@JuliaGarbe1]

Amazing that such eloquence existed over 2000 years ago

[@CD1789]

EXCELLENT performance!!!!

[@greatwesternproductions2857]

No-one could have done this better

[@smurthy1242]

I'm always moved by Plato's summing up, in his Phaeo, of Socrates, after his death, as "the best, the wisest, and most just" among any he knew. The speech is an indictment of unscrupulous and unlimited state power, and the evils it can bring, by a free-thinking, conscientious, brave and humane individual.

[@jzaaaa4372]

Wowwww powerful acting. That says a lot, that say a damn lot

[@Jan96106]

It is actually fitting he give this speech since is is the counter-point to Hamlet's thoughts on why he should not commit suicide. Jacobi's is my favorite Hamlet out of all the actors who have played Hamlet.

[@LocktownDog]

Brilliant.

[@marcomikkers7310]

wtf is this this is so bad he literally says nothing wich is relevant

[@rosierennie5867]

Oh look everyone. The Dunce of the class has reared their ugly head
