Honestly, if I was an English soldier at Agincourt who hear this speech I would have marched across to the French and said "sorry to have troubled you" What a miserable performance of the most stirring martial speech in the history of the English language

Tout simplement magnifique

Oh Churchill was rotten! His head was unevenly fried and left out in a warm swamp! You saw the part that was perfectly fried for your taste... but the Indians were served the racist rotten side of it!

A great actor has given a great act 😴

Rylance is brilliant...if you were lucky enough to see him as Johnny "Rooster" Byron in "Jerusalem", you will never forget his electrifying performance ..an actor for the ages...

Peter O Toole was indeed an amazing talent who lived life to the fullest he progressed his craft in the brilliant theaters of England with no competition to this day for the theatrical splendor of London and Staffordshire to name a few , Shakespeare what a marvel to perform “ Beckett “ my favorite by the great Richard Burton , O”Toole was every bit the talent , part if not most of the mystery of these great actors was their relationships and their mystique, in todays world of social media it’s not the same , todays so called actors are driven by greed and their own pompous value of themselves yes all fake 😂 we no longer have the greats 😢sad but O” Toole was one of those greats 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

O'Toole was English, as the "Irish Independent" and his biographer Robert Sellers confirmed. He basically reinvented himself as Irish in later life, in the same way Solomon Cohen pretended to be an English Cockney. The Irish Free State was only created due to Winston Churchill, as the traitor Michael Collins confirmed.

Under the administration of Secretary of State for War Winston Churchill, Britain invented the technique of terror bombing of defenceless civilians that has been a feature of most wars ever since. In 1920s Iraq Britain bombed Kurds and Arabs when they rebelled against Britain's attempts to assert control over them.

You couldn’t admire Winston Churchill and be Irish. He was a despot toward Irish people.

❤Peter O'Toole #PeterOToole❣

He's english not irish

Great actor 👍

Churchill was an alcoholic who enjoyed brothels and was a puppet for the Focus Group. He refused to meet with Rudolph Hess when he flew to Britain to make peace. Churchill carpet bombed German cities to get Germany to declare War on England. Churchill, Roosevelt and Curtis Lemay were War Criminals.

Wolf Hall is another example of this fine actor's work. He also likeable, and humble.

May I correct Charlie. He misquoted Churchill. The actual quote was: 'He mobilized the English Language and sent it into battle'.

Churchill was bribed in 1938-40 to destroy Europe and the British Empire by Strakosch. He had previously been bribed by Cassel during World War I.

Churchill giving his blood! He gave everybody else's blood.

Bill McNeill was the real deal, not this Dayton Hudson's deal guy

I love O'Toole But he got Churchill totally mixed up Churchill was a monster in fine clothing I foul disgusting racist and eugenicist Who had a distain for people of colour He was no better than Hitler In fact He was worse Basic research Should lead you to the same rationale

Sorry I don't rate this at all, Harry is trying to rally his men and fortify them against terrible odds ,This is mono, flat, uninspiring , Branagh's version is uplifting , motivational, not this sleepwalk...

Do you care about the poem?? Can't tell

Don't make'em like they used too

Terrible writing.

Being Irish ☘️, it makes your soul sing ,

This is the understated and familiar style of a king amoung his court. No need for bombast or dramatics, these men are family.

Peter O'Toole isn't the first English-born actor claiming to be more Irish than the Irish themselves. The famous founder of the Gate Theatre, Micheal MacLiammoir (Michael Williams) had no Irish ancestry whatsoever - so he simply invented his Gaelic past when he arrived in Dublin off the boat.

Churchill supported eugenics and Italian fascism. He publicly praised Hitler as late as November 1938.

Funny story told me by Richard Harris ... he and O'Toole were in the audience and Harris said 'watch me in this scene I am marvellous.' 'NOT IF NOT ON STAGE' REPLIED O'TOOLE.

Wow! This performance has received so little attention, but it's definitely right up there as one of the best ever! Slatkin's speeds are nicely judged. There is so much detail and articulation in the recording that some passages really spring to life beyond the norm. Keenlyside and Rodgers are superb, both with great diction and feeling for the words. The chorus is sharp and finely tuned. Every section of the orchestra is as strong as the others. I'm really impressed by this sleeper recording. Slatkin continues to be cemented as one of my favorite conductors of all time. Enjoy this gem of a performance!

Wikipedia, weirdly, describes him as an English actor. He never described himself as English in his life.

Summarizes our Fate

You know that his father was Irish but Peter was born in England. Leeds. 😮 He was Irish in his soul though.

To people who go to the globe and then loudly cough making no effort to cover their mouth, or bring their kids and allow them to squeal and scream for hours on end: please just don't go, you ruin it for everyone who actually cares about the performance.

He wasn’t Irish.

Sorry, Rylance's performance here does nothing for me.

O'Toole was half-English and half-Scottish.

My absolute favorite delivery. The nuanced sadness, the way he translates the modern meaning of phrases with tone and expression. I’ve watched this video an untold number of times and I get the chills every time. If Rylance isn’t a combat vet, he sure shows a vast understanding of them with his deft touch.

Only partly Irish, surely. Father Irish but mother was Scottish. Born and brought up in Leeds.

This man is more English than he is Irish, in spite of any profession to the contrary.

Rylance is a brilliant actor, but this delivery is stagnant. This Hal is already an old man . . .

In a related much later work by RVW he uses the same basis of the first movement first subject ("And on it's heaving breast") as the basis of the theme of these variations czcams.com/video/zmAQiTGeuHI/video.html --the theme also directly related to that of the flugel horn in the second movement of the Ninth Symphony - thus the Variations constitute a bridge returning us cyclically from the NINTH back to the SEA SYMPHONY. Enjoy - especially the utterly remarkable Variation IX Adagio.

That’s a really interesting delivery for this scene. Very powerful.

The speech of a man who sees death and destruction of his army but plucks up his courage to face his doom with a quiet courage. He is thinking what to say next, trying to sense what will be appropriate - unlike Olivier, Branagh, Burton and others whose speech flows smoothly as if pre-conceived. In some ways, this interpretation is more realistic and akin with the current time.

The audacity to cough during this speech

Hey, can you send me a link to the four loves broadcast?

Watching this for research in an essay, thanks for posting.

With all due respect. this sounds like a man in a pub, discussing lager with his mates while his wife is at home watching a show he doesn't like on telly. This is not the voice not the manner of a King and a warrior speaking fighting bravery to his host. It is not the aspect of the sinuous tiger. It is the coming of the man from Inland Revenue with a demand for payment to be nailed to thy door.

The best movement of this symphony.

I love this man ❤

Love that he speaks at normal speed. So many actors seem to rush their lines in Shakespeare.
