thanks for uploading this, its so powerful. Nicholas Farrell made Horatio my favourite character in the play. He shows so much emotion without over playing it in the slightist
@@WolfGratz He also voiced the title character in the "Shakespeare: The Animated Tales" version of Hamlet four years before this version, and 21 years later he would play King Claudius in a stage production of Hamlet with Tom Hiddleston playing the title character.
Ditto. SO right for the character, who's not passion's slave. He feels the emotions, but doesn't let himself be ruled by them, except at Hamlet's death, where it becomes too much. In my opinion, Nicholas is the definitive Horatio.
1:48 Beautiful scene. But I just back watching an episode of “Frasier” where Sir Derek Jacobi (who played Claudius in this movie and actually played Hamlet in an 1980 tv production) plays an actor who recites this line badly.
Yes, I can only agree with that...I remember when Henry V came out, some magazine did a portrait of him titled "The man who would be Olivier" (a character he later played and got an Oscar nomination for) and I think he has more than achieved that. He's more than Olivier's equal...Plus, while Olivier is always so dead serious about his roles, Branagh has never forgotten how to be playful. Plus, he's a genius director - his casting choices are always spot-on, as outlandish as first sight as they may be. I once heard that a genius director is someone who picks the right actors from the start so that he needs to give them as little directions as possible, and that's exactly Branagh's philosophy. He once cast Keanu Reeves as the villain in one of his movies, and everyone who succeeds in making Reeves like a good actor has my highest respects!
@christianealshut1123 supremely well put. He, only once did he not with Dead Again, does what he wants to do and with such fervor and genius that those who know take notice and reward him for it. I think he will still win an Oscar before his light fades out.

A vastly underestimated actor.

So strange to see this movie years after Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets…
Thanks trying to memorize my lines for my midterm

"Wretched Queen... adieu!"
Horatio was a real on to the end some say Horatio was the perfect woman
Brannagh is an awesome actor as it is, but heexcels when it comes to Shakespeare!

Hamlets actor played Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets
Love how no one attempts to find medicine for him
According to Laertes in Act IV there is no antidote for this poison
@@timothyvanscoy6953 Yeah, didn't he say something about the poison would be quick?
@@sha11235 but I remember its like half an hour or something lol
Melhor Hamlet de todos!!!
I love how they act like the swat team 😂😂
wow
Good adaptation. But not gay enough.
Yeh, definitely needs more gay.
i agree
Hamlet and Horatio aren’t gay, they made fun of Orsic a gay guard, and Hamlet loved Ophelia
@@Jollyjose251 homie Hamlet and Horatio canonically fuck they were gay
Cas What about Ophelia and Orsic
F
two gays having a silly ol time.
Lmao
The end of Eva did this ending better tbh
