when ophelia sings IT FREAKS ME OUT!!

[MsWholigan]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Laertes is good!

[lilactress07]

Hmm...I forgot Shakespeare wrote in the fact Laertes had a gun! Unless I'm not reading the original script...

[kimmorin141]

I love how Laertes points the gun at the attendant and he flips out and falls xD it made me happy :P

oh, there are the weeds XD

I've read this play cover to cover about three times (and my favorite scenes more) and I have seen another rendition of it. all throughout this, I hated Ophelia. I thought she was whiny and over dramatic (and kind of deserved going mad), but after seeing this, I actually have found a bit of respect for Ophelia.

WTF happened to her?

[ProfessorPher]

I mentioned it on the other video, but this is the best portrayal of Ophelia I have ever seen. The way they played whole rue exchange sends shivers down my spine. If you're not familiar with the actual uses of rue in Shakespeare's time, I recommend reading up on it.

It makes the "Wear yours with a difference" line that much more devastating.

wow I didn't like Polonius, but Ophelia makes me feel bad...

[Sk8inglioness]

I apologize for the superficial comment I'm about to type but I just have to say I love this Ophelia's acting but her face (even when she's sane) just doesn't really do it for me.

If they could combine this Ophelia's acting + Kate Winslet's face + Helena Bonham Carter's hair = EPIC OPHELIA.
