Tom definitely should conduct a class on Shakespeare and other playwrights. He explains the nuances so clearly- much better than any English Lit teacher I've had!
i love the way he shares something about Shakespeares and at the same time creating connection to Pinter story. wow, i should've been read a lot about shakespearean stuffs back when i was studying. so i could relate my interests in this matter. 😁
I'm presently watching The Hollow Crown, a 3 dvd set in which he plays, in Henry lV part one, the young Prince Hal (Harry) eldest son of King Henry lV and in part two He plays Henry V. Excellent cast. Made me love Shakespeare again.
Shakespeare is touching, serious, funny, full of emotions, thrilling.And also not that easy to understand sometimes. (Before i have even watched Kenneth Branagh as Hamlet or Al Pacinos The Merchant of Venice in the Movies. )
It is really interesting what he said, about the rhythms in the texts of the plays and how this creates a stamp of the authors. That reminded me a bit about of sounds of words and onomatopoeias. (Little language nerd over here🤓)
I think his understanding of rhythm and pace is why Hiddleston is one of the VERY FEW actors who has accurately duplicated a Southern US accent in the movie I Saw The Light. I’m from Mississippi and I can assure you there are even accent coaches who fail miserably at trying to “sound” Southern!
I just had to read The Great Gatsby for school (I live in the Netherlands so it’s a hard book for us to read) and I couldn’t really understand why the book is so great, mainly because my level of English is just not on the level of that book. Maybe this has something to with it.
Tom on Pinter! So interesting. Pinter silences are pregnant. They make each audience member an actor in the play. Sometimes they also make me feel illiterate.
2:20 the silence is something that cannot be spoken about! thru! when someone replies to me with an idiotic comment, i just stare and keep silence....... it uncontrollably distabilize my opponent
Pinter's remarks from Working With Pinter: These damn silences and pauses are all to do with what's going on … and if they don't make any sense, then I always say cut them. I think they've been taken much too far these silences and pauses in my plays. I've really been extremely depressed when I've seen productions in which a silence happens because it says silence or a pause happens because it says pause. And it's totally artificial and meaningless. When I myself act in my own plays, which I have occasionally, I've cut half of them, actually.
Tom and his Shakespeare
The interviewer asked very good questions. He pulled out Tom’s intelligence in the interview flawlessly.
He's just class. Like how to could he remember all that at the top of his head XD
Tom is such a bright, articulate young man. He's sweet, decent and absolutely gorgeous from head to toe. Best of all he's true to himself.
I would love to sit this with him and talk Shakespeare over a cup of coffee.
I would love to know what Tom's IQ is...Im sure he's a Genius!
"A silence is a period of time after which both characters are irreversibly changed."
So true.
Tom definitely should conduct a class on Shakespeare and other playwrights. He explains the nuances so clearly- much better than any English Lit teacher I've had!
He's brillant! There's poetry in what he's saying! I find it just... insane ~ I love this man and his cute little british accent x3
Silence is worth a thousand words!!
His voice always got me omg 😭😭😭
I love that this interview gives actual chances for Tom to share his passion and knowledge

I love how he shares his knowledge of with us. Make a great Teacher. 😊❤️
best combination possible - listening to one of your favourite actors AND learning about something I didn't know YAY
Tom is such a great actor

Wow. He would make an excellent teacher.
Shakespeare is touching, serious, funny, full of emotions, thrilling.And also not that easy to understand sometimes. (Before i have even watched Kenneth Branagh as Hamlet or Al Pacinos The Merchant of Venice in the Movies. )
his voice is music to my ears 💖😍
I wanna cry his mind is so beautiful
wow. that's interesting. i wish my literature teachers told me things like this when i was a student.
It is really interesting what he said, about the rhythms in the texts of the plays and how this creates a stamp of the authors.

he is so smart 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Is there the video of the full interview in this manner anywhere? I just saw one with a static picture.
Omg his voice!
Such a committed student of literature👌
I think his understanding of rhythm and pace is why Hiddleston is one of the VERY FEW actors who has accurately duplicated a Southern US accent in the movie I Saw The Light. I’m from Mississippi and I can assure you there are even accent coaches who fail miserably at trying to “sound” Southern!
in love with him
Where is he? Missing him 🥺🥺

With French one of the things (imo) is that the sense/meaning is often between the words
I want him to teach me literature
