It is interesting to compare DJ's "Now entertain conjecture" speech with David Suchet's study of the speech with John Barton, as they appear in Playing Shakespeare.
@Straussian Love the part with Derek's hair is wet and he is so cuddly there. That makes you want to cuddle him. Always loved him as an actor. And plus, heard he is a really nice person in real life. Got his autograph.
Glad that you agree with me in DJ. He is such a hunk in this film. First time I heard about him. As I love this look on him. Beard, scarf, trenchcoat, boots. Thanks for putting this up here!
@JPPT1974 Thanks for watching! I agree, I don't think he's ever looked better, and his acting is wonderful. He charges every single scene with a different emotion--I don't think he repeats himself. Really masterful.
the greatest shakespearean actor for many a long day. Shakespearespeaks through him

Henry V, probably Branagh's best film.

Great Shakespeare film, great work by Branagh... and how brave and generous of him to let SDJ's even greater virtuosity shine this way...

@tuxguys Read somewhere that he did his lines in only one take. Amazing for someone that is masterful in that. As he really has heart and emotions!

4:02 "Now entertain conjecture of a time--When creeping murmur and the poring dark--
Fills the wide vessel of the universe." Oh, my! 7:11 "...a little touch of Harry in the night." Great post! Derek Jacobi is wonderful.
