[jackwilshiresfakeid]

How can this chinless wonder play Jimmy Porter?

[krofan]

Richard Burton did this better, but Kenneth did it pretty well.

[sstuddert]

Just not as good as Burton's.

[rockandroll63]

A fine actor is Branagh, but Shakespeare is his game. He lacks the passion and anger for this role.

Thanks so much for uploading this ! i read the play and think its brilliant! i'm auditioning for drama schools in the next few months and this is one of my monolougues, i think its perfect audition piece because it perfectly sums up the end of the play :) hopefully i'll do it justice !

[hariseldon1977]

Bellissimo!

[Bez1960]

This is...dreadful

[highschoolmusical952]

[abguard515]

@highschoolmusical952 im using it for an audition!

[highschoolmusical952]

I think Jimmy Porter was just an angry young man.

[socalled47]

Upset with his father's death and also his father's persecution from being in the minority during the spanish civil war. That combined with his natural dislike for the upper classes equals, as you say, a very angry young man.

reeder007, this play is available from Amazon on DVD, I believe. I bought it sometime ago. I have watched it many times. I think Ken's experience is dead on, too. The character is suppose to be somewhat manic at times. They say Osbourne wrote this play in a fury, in a matter of days, quite manic. I think that is why the play moves along fairly fast or hectically at times. Ken's performance here never fails to fascinate me. The other actors are amazing, too. Judy Dench directed it for TV.

[steelyman08]

"They all want to escape from the pain of being alive, and most of all from love."

Isn't that the bloody truth!

[harshlight7]

Wow this is terrible, in light of the players involved. They seem to be rushing through it

[steelyman08]

I seem to remember Malcolm McDowell doing a pretty good job with this part. I think it's wrong to expect each new portrayal to conform perfectly to the original play. We all have the rotten tendency of imagining that each of our subjective readings should somehow become the definitive version for everyone else. There is no such thing as an objective interpretation: that's the stuff and nonsense of fools who dwell in ivory towers.

This is a great scene. Thanks for posting.

[mingmerc]

amen.... nicely said.

[itsevcha]

god, the acting is off character totaly ..

i watched this play once and the actors were just spot on, exactly the same feeling as you got from the book, just amazing

this is just horrible

[reeder007]

Im looking for the full version of this 1989 version of the play...cant find it anywhere...no torrents...no nothing....can any1 tell me where i can see the whole play?

[Sellick2007]

Its possible to order it on VHS, look on amazon :)

[ufupn]

i've just read the play, and was blown away. however, i've looked at burton and branagh's portrayals and i think they've both got jimmy very wrong.

the way i imagine it, jimmy would drawl, and mumble in some regional accent and assert his authority skulking around the room, sneering at everything. ..he would not enunciate like some Shakespearean monarch!

[missbabyice]

I sort of imagined him as having a london accent when I read the play. Jimmy is educated though- he's not a halfwit, so I don't think he'd drawl. He can't have much of a regional accent because he puts one on when he's reading out some article.

Just watched the 1959 film- I think Branagh's performance is better- gets the sarcastic humour and impotent anger spot on.

[ciaoluisa]

im performing look back in anger this tuesday. playing helena is surprisingly hard - as in, trying to balance her being dominated by jimmy porter, although strong in her own right. amazing play. wonderful love triangle

[majtris]

Thank you for posting. I've seen only this last part in english on dutch tv! I loved it! It was short after I had seen HenryV. I always remembered its intensity but I didn't remember the name of the play. They are such great actors!

[dniez1]

Alas, no subtitles on the DVD (english). In the right conner near the bed, the microphone doesn't pick up the sound too well. And Burton i find a bit more convingly angry..... Branagh is too sympathetic.

[artj22850]

Love this film and play, tetiousoldfools. Thanks for putting this up. Makes sense when one sees the entire play...quite an intense play. I own it on DVD, watch it a lot.

[supersbra]

horrible actors...really innatural

[tediousoldfools]

Guardian reader perchance ?

[mom63423]

Do you mean "Gruaniad"?(lol!) English sense of humor...but, will he get it?

[tediousoldfools]

No, probably a "Whoosh" moment. What was that that went right over my head?

I do love the Private Eye.

[mom63423]

That love means everything:"I would my horse had the speed of your tongue..."

[pixigirl999]

I will be doing Alison's monologue (4:25-5:55) for an audition. It's actually quite difficult but I'm going to give it a whirl!!

[altgal6]

Richard Burton was better in the movie. And I heard O'Toole was better onstage.

[burnoutslo]

thank you very much for this one =)

[han1590]

wow - i too have been looking for this everywhere and it had me in tears *sniff* great performance - thank you!

[mom63423]

Terrific performance!

I ought to read the book before watching this DVD because they speak too speedy or "in anger" for my Italian ears, but after that...WOW!

[missbabyice]

plays great :)

[ilovemuchado]

I've been looking for this everywhere! Amazing acting as usual from Kenneth and Emma
