Hamlet - Act V Scene II (sadness) - Kenneth Branagh

Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all: since no man has aught of what he leaves, what is't to leave betimes?

@Hauntedscotland My English teacher loves Shakespeare, literally... We did Macbeth last year and it was really fun. I mean, I first thought that Shakespeare would be boring, but thanks to her I really like it. I even went through a few more plays like Othello, Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet and Julius Caesar by myself. I saw 3 Hamlet screen adaptions (including this) and 2 Macbeth adaptions. When I told her I saw this one she went all excited and we talked about it for almost an hour =O

@juhee589 It's embarrassing that a literature teacher would laugh about something related to a masterpiece adaption of shakespeare or any adaption of shakespeare.

What is't to leave betimes: pierces through me every time. Beautiful.

@juhee589 what a pig, to laugh at you - this moron wants you to understand the greatness of shakespeare and then laughs when you understand it - idiotic prick. you understood more than him. but aren't most teachers like this...? most of my school time i spent being amazed and stunned by the spiritual and emotional shallowness of my teachers. my real teachers were never in the classroom. they composed music, they painted, and they wrote "Hamlet". Fullstop.

@NapoleonCalland Haha actually yes. Definatley check out Mordecai Richler and Robertson Davies if you haven't already. In particular their books "the Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz" and "Fifth Business". The latter can be pretty dull at times, but there's still a lot to be appreciated

[NapoleonCalland]

@SpiderXxPirate I would recommend Literature in whatever language. :)

ps. Any other Canadian authors you'd like to recommend? (I'm not being "funny", I'm eager to learn).

pps That includes Canuk authors. 

[SpiderXxPirate]

@NapoleonCalland Margaret Atwood makes me ashamed to be Canadian. Naw -  no one can take away my Canuk Pride . . . So you took English Lit? I'm selecting my courses next month. Would you recommend it? :)

just watched this again. with the combination of Kenneth's acting and Shakespeare's beautiful words....

.... time stops.

Everything stands still while these profound and beautiful words are uttered.
