Hamlet

[jessprager]

I wish someone would put the whole movie on!

[darkeyeshadowtheo]

Gawd dont listen to all the jerks, live and let live for christ's sake! I like the song and this is a good slideshow :)

[decospeco123]

omg this is absolute crap. Why make an AMV out of a 1980s Hamlet version..... weird

[rosapurpurea]

Again, same answer I had for jb21uk...folks, get a life...

[jb21uk]

I apologise for being rude, but this is horrible.

[rosapurpurea]

Thanks anyway, still I don't get why someone feels the urge to post a comment for something he/she dislikes...just a thought, nothing personal :)

[latebloomr]

does anybody know the title of this song and the singer? its a great song

[AdamGonet]

The song is addicted by Kelly Clarkson

[placebo4yo]

i actually believe hamlet leans towards the state os insanity. as i study mental illnesses i found one specific illness that describes hamlet perfectly which is obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. and some other manic depressions which hamlet became susceptible due to the death of his father. he just portrays so many symptoms which is weired to say 'hes not mad'.

[webkinzrocks2104]

Why....on eart.h....did you put this dreadful music behind this...?? its GOD AWFUL... I think I'm gonna be sick....Omg...I can't make..it...(BLEEEEEEAH..vomits profusely on your video)....

[rosapurpurea]

Got the point...now, could we move on?

[MeBeMat]

Hold on one Yorrick's skull picking minute here. Isn't Jacobi (ie Hamlet) two years OLDER than his uncle/step-father Claudius played by Stewart?

[rosapurpurea]

Yes, he actually is... :)

[MeBeMat]

Well I'll be a danish prince's uncle!

[rosapurpurea]

I'd rather be a danish prince's girlfriend... :D

[MeBeMat]

Lol, I have no response to that

[dustyboots27]

Hey Uncleanland? At least they like shakespeare--would you rather they got drunk and mugged people? You know, I hate people disrepecting theater by bringing camera phones in, and such, but this isn't that bad, surely?

There's serious issues you can whinge about out there: poverty, global warming, genocide, war, cancer, AIDS, child abuse...why waste your life getting upset by a video?

[unclealand]

If you really love "Hamlet" so much, what's with the mediocre ballad?

[rosapurpurea]

I thought lyrics and music blended splendidly with the story and the atmosphere, I'm not that snob to think that Shakespeare shouldn't mingle with pop...of course Mahler or Stravinskij are more "in character", but ehi, opinions... :)))

[unclealand]

If you want to reduce artists' hard work down to just cut-and-paste video, pick on something else, will ya? The language of Shakespeare and that fine acting by Jakobi et al deserves more than your cut-out paper doll "tribute."

[rosapurpurea]

Is Jacobi, by the way...I see you're a great fan... ;)

[unclealand]

I like him enough not to trivialize his work like you do. You really regard cut-and-paste paperdoll stuff as creative, don't you?

Sad. Back to the malls with ya.

[rosapurpurea]

No, I don't actually. But at least I don't need to wander around the net playing the clown just for some attention...You won't get it more from me, don't worry mate...

[vsnan1984]

well said rosa! unclealand had a point there, but his arrogance was going overboard. I despise these people who try to establish authority by making somebody else feel small. He tried though, but in vain :)

[rosapurpurea]

Thanks...I like dialectic... :))

Anyway ok, I got the message, you don't like Kelly Clarkson, ehi, it was just my second video, be merciful! ;p

[naly202]

dear rosa. don't worry about suckers like this one. i did like your tribute. you caught such great screencaps of him. the remarcable fact about your vid is that there are so many expressions that you can hardly notice while watching the movie/theatre. a great vid. loved it. 5 stars.

[lejistar]

Yes, rosapurpurea, this 50-year-old sometime professional actor agrees. I saw it when it first came out. I met John Houseman, and we discussed the whole BBC series of the time: some plays much better than others. Jakobi is one of the all-time greats. Have you seen the "I, Claudius" series?

[rosapurpurea]

Of course I did, I own the series on DVD too. It's a masterpiece!

[Witchqueen]

Looks great indeed!

And Kenneth Branagh said this Jacobi´s performance was his inspiration.

Anyway, both version of Hamlet are great.

[rosapurpurea]

Thank you!

Yes, they're both wonderful versions, so different though, one is basically theatrical (BBC one), with all is faults and credits, and the other has all the power, greatness, means that only screen and a cinema production can give.

[gewi93]

lalla ward as ophelia

[rosapurpurea]

Yes...

[rosapurpurea]

SKVNGE again, yes...Branagh's a wonderful director, has vision and touch with actors, but Jacobi IMO mesmerizes with his voice, gesture and eyes...unfortunately we haven't a time machine :)

[Intervain]

though production-wise I prefer Branagh's movie, Derek's by far the best Hamlet ever! His performance's fantastic !

[rosapurpurea]

Totally with you on that! Imagin a Branagh-style production with Sir Derek as Hamlet, Kate Winslet as Ophelia...wow!

[SKVNGE]

I completely agree. I have to give full credit to Branagh, because not only Hamlet, but also the entire movie was his brainchild...but Jacobi blows everyone away in terms of performances.

[LuckyBear84]

If only he were younger and heterosexual, I'd be "addicted" to him. *sigh*

[rosapurpurea]

Yeah...I know the feeling LuckyBear84... :))

[nsrncansever]

Hamlet'i okumadan ve anlamadan akıl ve delilik, cesaret ve korku, irade ve kader üzerine kimse tek laf etmemeli.. bu eser insanoğlunun başyapıtlarından biridir ve hani harikalar var diyolar ya, 1. 2. 3. 4. falan... ben olsam ilk sıraya Hamlet'i koyardım.

[rosapurpurea]

I'm so sorry, I can't understand a word... :(

[amiitk]

thanks can tell i can get full video

[rosapurpurea]

You should be able to find the DVD version on ebay, that's where I got my copy ;)

[scahmo]

süper lan a.q manyak flim

[rosapurpurea]

Whatever it means...thank you :)

[twolionss]

what is this song?

[rosapurpurea]

That's "Addicted" by Kelly Clarkson...It seemed quite appropriate, to me at least... :)

[twolionss]

right on sister...:)

[rosapurpurea]

Thanks  :))

[soulstice99]

it'd be better without the music

[rosapurpurea]

Well, it might look a bit strange without music... :)

[rosapurpurea]

Oh gosh...I(don't ask how because I don't know) deleted the first comment on this video...just wanted to say sorry to the person who wrote it, and thank him/her anyway...really sooo sorry... :( (If you should pass by another time, please, write it again!)

[hookedonclassics]

Such a theatrical legend.He's lovely.

Shame we all have to grow older but he's better than ever and a joy to watch in anything. Long may he continue.

[jackandrew]

good one
