David always seems to play characters who are disappointed with themselves, never has a good ending, and always disturbed.
I actually asked my teacher who's a big fan of him "why does he play disturbed/ evil characters so well?" And he said it's because David looks like a put together man someone normal someone you'd respect so seeing someone so normal acting not normal makes it even more disturbing
Chong Yuen Ming he’s a gooooooood actor my favourite too I’m a David Tennant fan
@@f_society1550 That makes a lot of sense.
Not looking good for Scrooge rn...
@@RandomThoughtsFromEllLMAO
There's a moment, when he says "I have heard that guilty creatures sitting at a play-" and then he looks at the camera. That moment scared me, like I was the guilty creature sitting at a play. I could see the ferocity in his eyes. WOW.
It gave me Barty Crouch Jr vibes 😅
same!
He really makes you feel every word. And that shirt is just brilliant.
Is this what all the girls say?
@@tomthx5804 shut up, will you? I've seen you post such degrading comments on his performance, and it doesn't make you sound any cooler, okay?
And this is why I think David Tennant is one of the best actors I have ever known
Or wish I new. In person of course.
You like the money
He's such an astonishingly fantastic actor. His eyes are so painfully expressive; I've never seen any actor in a Shakespeare play capture the emotion so well, and with such passion, and convey the meaning in such a personal way. He has such a wonderful, beautiful talent, and his passion shows through his acting.
It's amazing how comprehensible he makes it. I've tried to read Shakespeare many times, and I always struggle through it, barely grasping what's being expressed; but just by their inflections, good actors can make you immediately understand it without any conscious effort.
*thank you* - glad I'm not alone - he is the ONLY actor who makes the words and emotions make sense -.bring Shakespeare's workmalive and comprehensible
I've been told I'm a really good reader but even I struggle with Shakespeare!
The beauty of performing Hamlet is that each actor brings a bit of their personality to the performance. David makes this performance his own: mercurial and vulnerable,intense yet listless. If you've watched to the end of the clip, its because his performance is riveting.
+Tafami Very well said and so true
That’s Hamlet to a Tee.
Intense yet listless is how I feel in the face of what I live lately, Fabulousmyriad. It is disturbing. That's why Shakespeare and those who interpret him are for all time. Excuse me while I go get an aspirin.
Goddammit David Tennant plays his roles with passion
Who the hell would give such a performance a thumbs down? What is wrong with you?
Anyone who does not appreciate the "look at me!" kind of actor jumping around all the time
@@tomthx5804 That's hamlet's character though.
Their screen was upside down :)
Probably they were scared.. the performance is so good that it almost feels like we are with Hamlet himself.... and being anywhere near to a person who is breaking down like Hamlet in this scene can be quite scary.....
David Tennant's acting is simply wow.. He's inspired me to do this monologue for my A level exam, I can't wait, although I know it'd be impossible to be any better then he is! He's Simply Marvelous!
So, 6 years later... how'd that monologue of yours go?
So. Yeah...uhm... 8 years later... how did it go?
9 years later, any update yet?
Hi! How did it go?
When I'm an english teacher THIS is going to be the hamlet I show to class
I am an English teacher, and I am showing this Hamlet to my class. So excited!
Noice :p
9 years later... Hi!
Tennant makes Shakespeare absolutely accessible, the most of anyone I've seen, including Branagh (whom I also adore).
He just floors me. I would love to see him in real life...chalk that one down on the bucket list. He has such range and talent. I am just in awe.
I love how David Tennant can portray so much emotion in his acting regardless of the situation, because he is just acting this all out while wearing a tshirt you would find in the children’s section bargain bin at JCPenney
I can tell you I think someday he will definitely be an Academy Award Winner if he ever gets a shot at a movie. You would think Hollywood would give him something better than Fright Night.
He has played a lot of amazing parts in a lot of famous movies
Why would he want to take a step backwards like that?
I can't get over David as Hamlet... It's just so full of expression, and feeling, and energy. Fantastic performance! You get thrown right into the action and mind of Hamlet with him.
and he has to do it right in front of all these cameramen watching him. amazing if ya ask me
Umm.. he did it live-- daily-- in front of hundreds.
Did he just Naruto run away at the end there
Kawaii Kid: czcams.com/video/2DsZWfOv0bs/video.html
Yes
I really like when Shakespeare is set in a more modern day setting like David does it, helps the brainless like me understand it more,
Such passion, such fury, such beauty... damn, wish I could see the whole peformance ;-;
You can order the Blu-Ray on the internet. Or the DVD, its not expensive.
It's absolutely brilliant. David Tennant IS Hamlet.
I love David Tennant, and I give him a lot of credit for playing Hamlet because it is not easy to play. My class just finished reading it. It was my second time reading it, and I still have trouble understanding it at times, but David Tennant makes me want to understand Shakespeare.
His acting is always constantly brilliant.
I would watch David Tennant read a restaurant menu.
I got chills from this. Completely engrossed in his acting....he is fantastic. Completely and utterly fantastic. I could never get enough of David Tennant!
You know, this clip actually inspired me to read through the entire play, and I have to say, David's performance gives it so much life.
I've watched clips from some other actors that are great, but it's like the difference between playing all the notes in a song, and playing all the notes with emotion. They're both good, but only one moves you.
Killer or Coward?
Ninth: Coward, any day.
10th: Never cruel or cowardly.
*jaw drops* *SQUEE*
How can someone be this good of an actor?!? I cannot wait until I get to see all 3+ hours of this film at the end of November...
I love the fact that the further Hamlet descends into insanity, the more he resembles the Doctor. :-D God I love David Tennant. His is the first Hamlet performance I've actually been able to watch and not fall asleep halfway through. LOVE IT!
David Tennant: *delivers incredibly expressive monologue*
Me: aww🥺💛🌸🌟
I made my parents watch this with me (i have the DvD) and thwy fell asleep once i turned on the telly, but I had a great time watching it alone, i cried when Hamlet died! David ‘s performance is amazing!!!! I love him! And also Much Ado About Nothin’ best ! Had an amazing laugh with him and Catherine! ❣️❣️❣️👌👌👌😂😂😂
I'm amazed at how well David Tennant portrayed Hamlet. I mean... jesus, his performance is astounding! I've never been one much for Shakespeare, but this movie floored me. His acting is perfect.
Of all Shakespeare's plays the character of Hamlet is so very open to the individual actor's interpretation of this difficult role and it is difficult because of the complexity of the character of Hamlet. Many, many great actors have taken on the role and some have not always succeeded. Perhaps, traditionalists don't always appreciate modern versions of this play. Tennant is an example of a modern actor very much wooing the audience with a new take on the role. He does it well.
oh he is just too briliant for words. i love Hamlet, and since about April this year i love David Tennant. "The play's the thing where in I'l catch the conscience of the king!"
yoooooo what a masterpiece damn david back at it again with that outstanding acting
His hair melts me.
I wrote it someplace else, but it worth to repeat: IMO David Tennant is a GENIUS! He not just plays Hamlet, HE IS HAMLET! I've seen a few Hamlet performances before from great actors, but he is the first one who makes me see the man behind the role. When I saw the others I thought: Such a great drama!, but when I saw him I was: Oh, the poor guy! He just lost his father, his life is in ruins and doesn't know what to do...
I think Shakespeare would be proud and pleased with David's performance.
He's such an actor. Just so amazing!
One thing I love about David Tennant is how emotive he is in his acting. he really throws himself into the role, and thats why he was the best new Doctor. ^_^
hamlet was already my favorite work of shakespeare. but having david tennant act it out....there...are no words...it's just...win
It is so easy to understand Hamlet like this. I never thought I'd say this about Shakespeare.
Ever since I discovered David Tennant, it is like I stepped down the rabbit hole. What a phenomenal actor. And what a diverse repertoire - both roles as well as platforms. Plays, narrations, voice, film, TV... they all have their own requirements. Words fail me, truly.
Ironically, I discovered him when a friend recommended him as an actor I'd enjoy (I'm not into watching films/TV, but enjoy any artist with their craft and this was his medium). She described him as a heartthrob. I saw the face and was like this is Kilgrave, fantastic acting but hardly romantic unless you're into creeps. Famous last words. Turned out I'm into this creep too. lol.
But he's also Crowley, Doctor Who, Hamlet... one person in such different iconic roles making them his own till you can't see other performances without remembering him. The Doctor Who community can't discuss the character without mentioning him almost two decades after he quit and I'm sure this will be so with Hamlet as well. The sheer raw intensity he brings here. Incredible.
The shirt makes me giggle, the performance makes me awe, and his hair makes me smile.
The Dark Lord must have been pleased.
Barty Crouch Jr all the way
David Tennant is by far my fave actor out there. He is so amazing!!! Miss him as ten :(
Love LOVE LOVE Him!!
He Acually made me wanna watch Hamlet :D
"The play's the thing!
...and yes, you can have that!"
His delivery makes the old English have sense it usually wouldnt
Tingles and shivers all down my spine ♥ David Tennant, you are amazing.
What an absolutely amazing, brilliant, stellar actor.
That man is the epitome of brilliance.
good job again David Tennant!
LOVE David Tenant! (Best Dr. Who!!!) Great job
I. Am. Speechless. He is wonderful
I love you. David, I love you. Thank you for taking my breath away no matter what role you play.
Wow! Sometimes it's hard to look at the text and really feel the emotion of it, but when it is performed so beautifully the whole thing just comes alive, just as Shakespeare meant it to be seen. :) Heart-stopping.
He's such an inspiration..
He is so amazing!! I watched his scene with Orsic. When I played that character in Hamlet man I wish I could meet him
The T-shirt though...
HIS AMAIZNGGGG!!!
that was amazing. his eyebrows did the thing and i remember what michael sheen said about the brooding. his face is so expressive, and so is his delivery of his lines. that was fantastic and i had a silly thought of trying to attempt this piece, even though i know nothing about hamlet
Wow. it's stunning how 'effortless' he plays his role. Seems so natural. I'm seriously impressed by his acting.
He's beautiful. :D Way to brilliant an actor for words.
Best Hamlet I've ever seen, bar none!
Wow This is amazing. David is such an amazing Actor. He could make any Role Brillant. I Just love this scottish Guy!! Miss him as Ten. He will always be the most amazing Actor to me. Just simply Delightful :D
The camerawork really adds another "dimension" to the theater performance.
David's great. He's got to be the best actor to ever play the Doctor. It's a shame he was only on for four years, although that's longer than a bunch of the previous Doctors. I'm hoping his "Rex is Not Your Lawyer" show is approved because it sounds like it could be hilarious.
Whoaaaaaa. That is some AWESOME acting.
Every other actor - EVERY other actor - even though I have studied Shakespeare at high school & university - *every* other actor it still sounds like a foreign language that I have to translate - *NOT* so with David Tennant - it is clear and concise - I get the EMOTIONAL IMPACT of the words every.single.time
Oh he is good!!!
He's such a good actor.... :)
Hamlet's coming as a ballet to my city. Unfortunately, it doesn't have David Tennant in it.
Though Tennant doing ballet as Hamlet is something I would pay all my money to watch. That man is amazing.
Brilliant performance!
My word his hair is GORGEOUS!!!!
God of all acting. *bows*
A truly magnificent performance from David Tennant, whom I was fortunate to see in this production, and later watched the film on tv and to get the dvd. Was this really 14 years ago now?
This raw acting talent is why he's the best Doctor Who of our age.
The episode with the French consort touched me deeply.
Such a talented and measured actor.
Matt Smith is measuring up well tho.
He'll need some time to settle in and It's the hardest act to follow IMHO.
Good luck to him but Tennant was amazing.
I watched this on PBS and damn near jizzed my pants when I saw David Tennant AND Patrick Stewart doing "Hamlet". The acting and modernization took this classic to a whole new level.
wow. stunning performance. absolutely perfect.
I recently watched good omens and of course I'm obsessed with crowley and I was trying to remember where else I've see david tennant and then I remembered...we were shown this version of hamlet in english class in my senior year of high school! I was amazed then & I'm amazed now - david tennant >>>>>>>>
David, the best Doctor!
That was insane... I've performed asides before for a number of Shakespeare's works for grade school on stage, and let me tell you something- it's not easy. You need to LIVE that speech and those lines... I applaud Tennant. What an actor.
wow.
did anyone else feel like he was staring right at you when he looked into the camera?
just wow, so much.... wow
The only version of Hamlet that is amazing IMHO
god i love him
one word.... TALENT
Wow!
I love this man he is just so talented
Magnificent.
Watched this today and was glued to the screen! David Tennant is an amazing actor! Just when I think I've seen him at his best be it in Who or Casanova or even Secret Smile, I see him like this! Anyone who hasn't seen this play I highly recomend it!!
Finally! A hot Hamlet.
omg i loooooooooooooooooooooooove him
David Tennant: When Kenneth Branagh Just Isn't Quite Over the Top Enough for Ya
I really, really love the interaction with the camera. Chapeau!
cutest vengeance face evah
Shivers up my spine.
Best Hamlet Ever!
that 2 and a half minute clip right there pretty much sums up why DT is one of the best actors of this or any century...
David Tennant is the embodiment of Shakespeare as it should be seen and not read (i'm talking to you highschool teachers who made us read it). He expresses every emotion so cohesively and genuinely and doesn't lose you for a second. He will always be my favourite Hamlet
Crowley plays hamelet for aziraphale 😊
when he said, "Am I a coward?" I wanted to give him a hug. (well, i always wanna give him a hug)
Oh my gosh. He's so incredibly amazing. I love him
Will tune in to see this production...
Tennant Rocks!
absolutely loved this performance so I made my own
