I dont understand why people think this is bad.
Personally, i think it is quite good and i like how she is showing emphasis in her words.
Though i may not be an actor, i can still see the effort done in this video.
Clear indicator of problems in your head is your use of "I" five times in three sentences, without capitalization once no less. Yes you do not understand.
Damn💀
I was distracted by the rolling balls…
Same 😂
I don't think this is over the top at all. It's a modern interpretation of Shakespeare and it needs to be put in context of the entire play. Portia is trying to save a man's life and the audience has already hears the graphic details of Shylock's request.
She's amazing I do know some one that shares her birthday it's the same day month and year
?
Shakespeare story , we don't have words to express the beauty of the story😊
This is so good, no idea what these comments are on about
The ability to intelligently criticise is more valuable in every respect than worthless compliments. Yes you have no idea.
Excellent!
Which says nothing.
Job well done
I think it is pretty good, though Balthazar could have been a bit less with the swirling around and throwing the money all over the place. If he did all this desperation but focused on groveling to Shylock and throwing the money at his feet it would have been more on point I think.
Whoever is potraying balthazar was over the top
Right😭
That's not Balthazar he was Bassanio
If I saw that monologue with no context, I would have assumed this was a 6th form production.
What an over-the-top performance! 😐
I rather like it. This is acting for the stage not the screen. It needs to be "big".
Very useful
What is this acting
the film quality is top notch but the og film added that 16th century essence to it
Seems to deliberately making it as far from declaiming a famous speech as possible. Goes to far in my view. We should be allowed to savour the lines a little.
I agree. A bit disappointing
I believe that is the RSC house style - to be more naturalistic. She is not delivering a great speech to the court, but trying to touch Shylock's heart and win him.
@@andybarnett2198 I understand, but I don't like it. You don't tell an opera singer to take an aria as recitative just because it is closer to real life speech.
@@JohnSmith-zq9mo There used to be a fashion for opera singers showing off how hard they were working. Now you only hear that in 'power ballads'. Listen to a singer like Bryn Turfel make his singing sound like a conversation.
I just got cancer after watching portia
If you'd ended with a period you'd have been perfect.
This production was so awful in so many ways. I felt sorry for Makram J. Koury as his performance was over-shadowed by the focus-pulling and over-acting of so many of the cast. Was there a competition to see who could most wave their arms about meaninglessly? This was probably the fault of the director who should have not allowed this. I fear this happens too often at the RSC. Why does someone not read "Hamlet's speech to the players" - to everyone who gets a job there?
Yes one would think the director has at least something to do with the direction.

A bit overacting
makuri man ini
i do not understand the gimmick here. whats with the balls rolling around? very distracting and weird
it is supposed to resemble a bell knelling, which is referred to in the text in Portia's song in the casket scene with Bassanio
Terrible portia😳
My nan can act better on one leg
facts
Wtf is this ????too bad i am doing shylock at a function of my school and during the play i totally change into a real shylock .......exactly like in mov trial scene ..the first video in TH-cam
terrible😀
My little brother could act better
That looks so stupid.
Her acting seems forced
ikr
this is the worst performance I have ever seen
The movie did better
Awful. Classic overacting. Learn from the old masters- Olivier & company. Horrible cold, modern settings, and tiresome cross-dressing by women. Enough of the PC rubbish already.
Ha! Oh, 'tireless crossdressing by women' on a Shakespeare play! Oh boy, that gave me a good laugh, bloody hilarious. Truly incredible asininity you can find on the internet, wow.
@@somethingsomeone1633 - Laugh some more at yourself, SS, as you miss the point completely- the diff is that the cross-dressing here is not part of the plot at this point- just randomly tossed in there for what-the-hell reasons nothing to do with actual plot twist or whatever.
@@teresal5174 I'm so confused what you are talking about. Portia and Nerissa pose as men during the courtroom scene in order to save her husband's friend Antonia from death. I would suggest reading the play and if you have notes about tiresome cross-dressing, take it up with Shakespeare's ghost because he wrote it.
@@aliburch6895 - Yeah, you're right. I stand corrected!
@@teresal5174 Good for you!
this comment section is stupid
ya allah plz forgive me stop watching this.
