    Great video. I would have loved to see & hear him do the *whole* poem. That would have been amazing beyond belief.

    At the end, when Richardson looked at the camera, I was completely expecting him to give us one of his classic "You might very well think that... I couldn't possibly comment." lines.

    Anybody came here from Shade Empire - Anti-life saviour?
    Those guys woke a great interest to this poem for me.
    Note that English is far from my mother-language, and it wasnt a subject of my study at high-school. Not the linguistic, I am an engineer. How do you like that?
    Btw, I've found the original english version more impactful than translated russian one.
    No offence to translator, he did great job, but the expirience is ... far beyond.

    I love Ian Richardson but he didn’t nail it. Satan would have been a little more pissed during this Monologue.

    • @True_Christian
      @True_Christian Год назад +3

      I see what you are saying. But the problem is, if he did it in an angry way for the whole thing, then his performance would come across as hammy and like he's a bad actor, and also Satan would look like a goofy caricature.
      So for those reasons, I think he made the right acting choices to only go over-the-top for a little bit of the monologue. More than that would have been too much and turned it from serious into silly.
