Remember, he's not actually speaking the lines. Those are pre-recorded.

How does he do it. Such an expressive and perfect performance

This dude is AMAZING 👏🏼 ❤

the most BRILLIANT rendition I´ve ever seen! BRAVO!!! it´s another level of acting whatsoever! The first time I´ve ever cried to Shakespeare!

Brilliant!

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 heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream-ay, there's the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause-there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of th'unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action.

His interpretation made it so relatable. I might be telling on myself, but who hasn’t wrestled with the thought. Instead of sounding like a dramatic internal dialogue I related with the struggle. Great performance.

"The undiscovered country from whose born no traveller returns" says Hamlet having recently spoken to his dead father

This is a hell of a thing. Slowing the tempo to emphasize each word. Brilliant sir!

Never seen this, bloody hell, he's good!

He’s such an Amazon talent. Everything he does rings absolutely true.

Far too many distracting hand movements. It takes the focus away from the words and spoils it.

I studied this deeply in college and only here 20 years later do I finally understand what it means.

Honestly, it’s as if he’s just thinking of these lines as he goes along. I adore Hamlet, and honestly this might be my favourite reading

你的question到底是什麼？我AI沒明白😄, TO BE就像一個突然出現的水泡，沒有推理路徑，NOT TO BE同樣沒有根據和邏輯，讓我不知道怎麼辦😅

王子應該是這樣子的，神經質，陰鬱，充滿矛盾和痛苦，不敢恨不敢愛，對母后有敬畏有怨恨，又怕投鼠忌器，總的來說，就是英國人的墨跡，在長日將盡裡面體現的淋漓盡致，就是繞了一大圈，什麼都沒幹🤣

Its already been said many times in these comments but this little snippet of Andrew's performance completely opened the world of Shakespeare for me. He isnt performing like a Stoic Philosopher, he's actually considering life and death. I knew that before about Hamlet, but its like this clip made me (and apparently many people) go, 'Ahh! Now I get it! Now I really see what he's saying!' It just needed to be acted well!

Andrew is a helluva actor....

Absolutely love you Andrew Scott. Director needs to be fired though 😂

Yala konitari natsamrat dakhva re

The coming realization that he experience in real time of his mortality makes his approach timeless that other recitals feel disingenuous and empowering. His delivery feels authentic as he wrestles with the notion that his predicament lays before him a crossroad of conscience: action or inaction. He has to choose, but his mind has beat him there. To sleep or to die; is it a life worth living, he ponders aloud.

Super

He is such an amazing actor. He is so genuine and believable in everything he does. He just draws you into every performance. What an honor to watch him perform!

Andrew Scott never fails me since I’ve seen him first time in Sherlock Holmes Series …

Not even close to Shakespeare’s intent. Simple showing off.

My favorite take on it

That’s so beautiful

Wonderful ❤ The first time I've heard this in a way that makes you feel like the actor is actually contemplating the question "to be or not to be" I've always known he was a good actor but damn...

Brilliantly done.

WITH THIS MORON IN THE ROLE "THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET" WILL LAST LONGER THAN WAGNER'S Das Rheingold

😂😅

This is really good. Shakespeare is for all time and this captures that liquidity. It is acted in a modern way, but with the same words, which gives a a fluidity, never seen before. It really works.

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 heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream-ay, there's the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause-there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of th'unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action.

He is absolutely phenomenal. He takes you inside the twisted mind of the character. It's the first time I have actually understood Hamlet.

For some reason I hoped this would be a comedic standup. Need a laugh I guess

It's like it was written to be uttered by an Irish actor... There's something completely grounded about Andrew's delivery of such a famous soliloquy, I love this man so much.

I cryed

awful - just awful

This performance is what finally made me get Shakespeare. He used modern emotions and performance with the original dialogue. It just makes sense now

I feel like hes almost doing too much, I much prefer Adrian lesterw interpretation. Key word - interpretation. Each for their own. In spite of this, i enjoyed seeing a alternative take, it gives one insight into, the many ways such txt can be delivered. Well done ❤

Is this the question of a lifetime?

Hamlet 3.1.64-96 HAMLET 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, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause. There’s the respect That makes calamity of so long life. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th’ oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of th’ unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovered country from whose bourn No traveler returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pitch and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action.-Soft you now, The fair Ophelia.-Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remembered.

I had the privilege of seeing the full play in person. It was fantastic!

I really like Andrew Scott. He's a very emotional actor. He's intense. I love it.

An original performance from reality!

No thanks.

The one rendition of this soliloquy that made me properly understand the meaning of this soliloquy!

Boo.
