You can't even tell he's acting. It's like he walked onstage and is just LIVING the lines without thinking twice or reciting or anything. It's so ... natural. This needs to be released in the US like NOW!
I was brought to tears at his"what a piece of work is a man" speech. And it has been very long since I was last brought to tears by something I watched.
Thank you thank you for this clip! It's not airing here in the States until the END OF APRIL. Argh. Such a long wait, but it looks as if the wait will be absolutely worth it.
@Tangerine08 Entirely agreed. I've never heard (previous to this) an actor take his time through that particular speech, nor heard "bounded in a nutshell" said as more than one, long word, hurried through. Well spotted.
I liked Branagh's performance.. infinitely better than Mel Gibson. But, I must agree with all that said many speed through these "rants" that Hamlet is known for. Reminds me of when we had to recite Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Rush through before you forget it all without really considering what it means. I hope any future performances David does with RSC are also produced for film. Shakespeare has always been my favorite. David Tennant just makes it better.

The way they take their lines slowly, at a more conversational pace, really helps me understand the play better.

Holy crap. The "what a piece of work is man" was already my favorite. Now it's more my favorite.

When he first says hello to Gildenstern and Rosencrantz, it's just like when Kenneth Branagh does it in his Hamlet. Great minds think alike!

"- Were you sent for or no?" *stares in Rosencrantz's face with eyebrows raised*
Excellent moment. :D
Yes, that's my point: people always TRY to act completely natural onstage, but many don't succeed.
Oh wow...they are so natural.
The bit about fortune makes me giggle
I need to see this! dreamlikec, you said it was being released in April in the states...where? BBC America?

@GaryAnyanka isn't that what actors are supposed to do?
Tennant is amazing.

@lisilein2 Indeed.
Watch with the Transcribed Audio.
I wonder if they show it on his birthday...
PBS.
I know that Romeo + Juilet was good but does everyyyyy Shakespeare production have to be a modern retelling nowadays?
