    Wow! Such a fantastic blend of modern and Elizabethan! The delivery is very modern in rhythm and form. And this makes the words very understandable. But wow... these are Shakepeare's words, written hundreds of years ago, word-for-word from his play. What an actor can do with words... amazing! :)

    I've seen his Macbeth, his Prospero and now I'm practically giddy with excitement to see his Hamlet! Slinger's depth and diversity never ceases to captivate.

    What a fantastic production. Still can't stop thinking about it. Slinger pulls you in, then makes you shudder away. Breath taking. In awe.

    I don't want to offend anyone.. but Alan Rickman was my favourite Hamlet... he could perform it being aged for the character, and you'd believe he was 30, and he was really the Prince of Denmark... His presence on stage, his voice... even his personality was poetic... No one like him...

    I'm confused. Why is this older man doing Hamlet's lines?

      Yes, a bit old to be a student at Wittenberg.

      Stratford in Canada was going to be a black woman this year. I think Shakespeare will survive--even thrive--having someone other than young blonde men playing Hamlet.

    • @vv-kq4qo
      @vv-kq4qo 6 лет назад +1

      Jazz, the actor's voice is nice, however, his performance feels very strained and pretentious. His expressions are incredibly exaggerated.

  • @michaelnixon525
    @michaelnixon525 4 года назад +5

    Too old. Hamlet is a very young man , who can't cope because he is a very young man. That's the whole point of the play.

    • @ryh5169

      Hamlet is 30 and alopecia is a problem among royals. The actor seems fine to me.

    • @Nick-ul2bp
      @Nick-ul2bp 2 года назад +1

      Yeah. Hamlet is 30, it's part of why it's so insulting for Claudius to say his grief is unmanly. It's doubly insulting because he's nowhere near a child's age. Yes, I know this is two years later.

  • @stevenyourke7901
    @stevenyourke7901 2 года назад

    Hamlet was not a balding middle aged bespectacled dork!! And he should be screaming and tearing his hair out in this soliloquy, not speaking softly to the camera. No, sorry, this is all wrong! If there is any soliloquy where Hamlet has to go full postal, it’s this one! Here, he has to finally let out all the pent up rage and disgust that’s festering inside him.

      Quite sure of yourself, aren't you? When exactly did the author tell you that this interpretation was wrong?

  • @BetterThanSinatra

    Overacting never plays well with Shakespeare.

  • @drymant
    @drymant 10 месяцев назад +1

    Good Lord, the play is already four hours long. This does not put the production in a positive light. I'd be asleep before Horatio makes his entrance.
