    Loved how Andrew Scott and Dominic Cooper developed the scene to end on a heart-breaking question mark.

      I dunno, I just feel like Andrew Garfield’s flamboyance really brought prior to life. I loved every scene he was in bc Andrew Garfield was mesmerizing to watch no matter what else was happening around him or to him or whatever. Andrew Scott is incredible too, but I think his styling for the character just isn’t as effective for me based on the little bit of his performance I’ve seen clips of.

    What a great comparison. Each version brought tears to my eyes, all three played so differently yet so effectively. What a show. I've only seen the HBO version in full and these snippets. So wish I could see it done live, but I live in an area where that's unlikely to happen and haven't got the ducats so see it anywhere else. So these little gems are priceless.

    The first Louis then the last Prior would be amazing. The last Prior (Andrew Scott) was understated and real. I felt how uncomfortable it was to express that he was scared that Louis would leave him.

    The 'reveal' in the stage production with Andrew Garfield took on a lot more weight for me. It was just really intense.

      Same. But Andrew Garfield also did a phenomenal job as Prior.

    To be fair to Louis, introducing himself as "Lou" to his family is not a closet thing, its a Jew thing. They would sooner accept Prior as his boyfriend than call him "Louis". If he said "Im Louis" their smile would drop and they'd get passive aggressive because he's disrespecting his family and culture.

    They all have a different take on the delivery. Dom Cooper is far more tender with Louis and seems more concerned about his reaction. Andrew Garfield seems almost defeated like he is in a deep despair over the situation. And Andrew Scott is a lot more angry and bitter. Each portrayal is excellent in different ways.

    The first one was pretty good but I wish they had the hug. Andrew Garfield absolutely carried like he was so good. The last one was alright it seemed very robotic and rehearsed

      Unfortunately there isn't one - I wish there was! This specific scene was filmed as part of a celebration of 50 years of productions at the National Theatre in London, which presented individual scenes as 'highlights' of the theatre's history. ruclips.net/video/igWOsGGoJdM/видео.html

    I think Garfield overacts. I was spoiled by Stephen Spinella, 1992 (Prior Walter); back 25 years later as Roy Cohn.
