Truly outstanding!
This channel is so underrated, i love this, thank you for everything you give to us.
I love that I discovered this page... so much to give us...
What a magnificent thing this is. Plato speaking for Socrates... as performed by our own great Emperor -Claudius- Derek Jacobi.
Derek Jacobi, the first time I saw him was on I, Claudius. I was shocked about his brilliant performance.Not mentioning the rest of the cast. Now CZcams brings me here. Finally the algorithm is working.
I had seen him before - in the 70es in a somewhat older Chekhov play on TV and then in "Philby Burgess and McClean". I thought: That guy with the eyebrows - WOW! He´s something!. Then I got fascinated with Claudius - and HAD to go to London (Old Vic) 3 times to watch him play Hamlet! Luckily, the production also played at Elsinore Castle in ´82, where I got to watch it twice! :-) Lucky me!
outstanding delivery from Derek Jacobi , as per usual !
So glad to see you!
Thank You, Mr. Jacobi!! That was freaking amazing :)>
How wonderful that Sir Derek Jacobi, who delivered the best "To be or not to be" speech (in my opinion), should now utter this wonderful Socrates' speech. Listening carefully, I realized this speech is the reverse of the first one : no despair, no fear, not wondering what is on the other side, but a quiet acceptance of one's date and hope for better things to come.
Conscience doth make cowards of us all, except Socrates.
Why the hell am I suddenly crying?! That was fantastic
You cry because the beauty of these words is overpowering
Man, I am so glad I found this page. Absolutely amazing to hear this speech spoken by this man...!
no he is autistic and the speach is terrible
Beautiful!
wowow what a performance! So subtle and nuanced yet powerful.
Amazing that such eloquence existed over 2000 years ago
Wowwww powerful acting. That says a lot, that say a damn lot
EXCELLENT performance!!!!
No-one could have done this better
It is actually fitting he give this speech since is is the counter-point to Hamlet's thoughts on why he should not commit suicide. Jacobi's is my favorite Hamlet out of all the actors who have played Hamlet.
Brilliant.
wtf is this this is so bad he literally says nothing wich is relevant
Oh look everyone. The Dunce of the class has reared their ugly head
