Daniel Radcliffe Shakespeare's sonnet 130

Daniel Radcliffe Shakespeare's sonnet 130

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head;
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks;
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go
(My mistress when she walks treads on the ground).
And yet by heaven I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

--Español!!!--
Los ojos de mi señora no se parecen en nada al sol; el coral es mucho más rojo que el rojo de sus labios; si la nieve es blanca, ¡vaya! entonces tiene los pechos morenos; si los cabellos son hebras, hebras negras le crecen en la cabeza; he visto rosas de Alejandría, rojas y blancas, pero de esas rosas no le veo en las mejillas; y en algunos perfumes hay más deleite que en el aliento que de mi señora emana; adoro oírla hablar, pero bien sé que la música tiene un sonido muchísimo más placentero; admito que nunca vi caminar a una diosa (mi señora cuando anda pisa el suelo). Y, sin embargo, por el cielo tengo a mi amor por tan extraordinaria como cualquiera a la que contradijo con falsa comparación.

Is the voice sped up or is it the normal pace?

[ginnyduff]

@Athecubus normal

[lhc9494]

This is nice, but I like Snape's version more :P

[Cherrysakura5]

Love his voice *sigh*

Americans love British accents. I've noticed. Not so much Australian tho. (And Canada? It's north of us except for Alaska).

[DeemBrittyGirl]

Was I the only one, comparing each line Daniel recited with each line that Alan recited and came to a conclusion that this poem is boring unless Rickman isn't reciting it?

His mistress' eyes are nothing like Gwynneth Paltrow's. 

[petiteange08]

Just a normal voice... but Snape's one is much better

[AnnieRadcliffe07]

Oh my God. He had a gorgeous voice :3

[arcanacoelestia]

Of course, no one but Alan Rickman (with the possible exception of Jeremy Irons) could recite a Shakespeare sonnet with sufficient passion and power. So it's rather unfair to compare Daniel's reading to Alan's; Daniel is a fine young actor with a pleasant speaking voice, and while he could never measure up to Alan's performance, he does an admirable reading of this sonnet. Not bad, not bad at all.

I'm just not feeling any emotion in this. Sure he has a cute voice, but it just feels a bit like he isn't connecting with the meaning of the sonnet as much as he could have.
