HOW on this earth, can someone have the audacity to press the dislike button on any video involving Richard Burton.. never mind when he's doing Hamlet. God save humanity.

[MrRobertJameson]

@OfficialLukeDale Because he was a talentless wooden film actor who copied Olivier?

Hamlet and Shakespeare are betrayed here!!! Alas...

@rem2267 thank you. There will always be vile trolls under the bridge. Of course, they have nothing for credentials accept bitter and wicked pronouncements. As if this guy is the arbiter of what constitutes a soulful dramatic reading. Just another hater, with nothing impressive or intelligent to share. It is called "PROJECTION"

@rem2267 O DEAR JEALOUS???? agreat actor..what have you done lately

[PathosDistanz]

@JuanMacready Olivier is the most overrated actor of the 20th century. His Hamlet is melodramatic, like a mannered hairdresser. Nothing beats the Russian version of Hamlet. Now there's fire. Smoktunovsky.

Okay, maybe not the strongest in terms emotion,meaning and emphasis. But my goodness, his voice is so technically strong.
