To be, or not to be--that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep-- No more--and by a sleep to say we end The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep-- To sleep--perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub, For in that sleep of death what dreams may come....

Dear, oh, dear! I am astonished! Burton was of his time. He broke the rules...Before him? Guilgud and Olivier broke the rules...before them Herbert Beerbhom Tree broke the rules, before that Edmund Kean broke the rules, before that David Garrick broke the rules...etc etc...Burton's 'Angry Young Man' approach was astonishing in it's time...His risk with "beats' and 'Inner Landscape' astonishing. His valiant defence of the English Theatre without comparison (Tynan/Burton).

A schizophrenic hamlet!!! Guys this is the most unkindest cut of all!!!

This is the first time I have seen this. A masterful and different piece, from Mel, Kenneth and of course Olivier. Thank You for this.

Undoubtedly one of the best performances of Hamlet. His method is definitely unique and one that leaves an impression. His voice helped a lot. Mel Gibson has nothing on Burton, although he played the part well in his own right.
There seems to be an overflow of trolls on some of these Richard Burton videos. It's amusing how they would devote such time and attention towards slandering a deceased person, but I suggest letting them drown in their own attention-seeking and untrue claims. Ignore them

@RichardElden lol there you go again. You do realize I can see you're simply copying your previous comments right?
No one cares what you think of this man. If you don't like him, don't watch the videos.
Why would I care that you wish he got cancer? The man died already, so everything you say is irrelevant and meaningless. It's not achieving anything but wasting your time.
You hate him, yet devote so much time and attention? Oh the irony
Do you just go through all of these videos every day? Lmao
