  • @loveapril3104

    I love how Andrew reads this. I've heard Benedict's version too but i think that the difference between the two versions is that in Benedict's one it seems like he is reading it to a crowd,he do it with the intention of entertaining someone,thing that he is doing. While the Andrew's one is more private,he talks like he is really saying those things to someone he knows,a friend. Even if both the versions are actually great.

    • @nataliastg97
      @nataliastg97 Před 7 lety +53

      Yeah, I agree with you. I like both versions but Andrew made it sound really powerful. It motivates me and I come back to this when I feel down. He made it a serious and, like you said, a private letter. When I first saw this and people laughed at "Just do!" part I didn't know what was so funny about that. Benedict put humour in his version and it sounds like a completely different letter, at least to me. But still amazing.

    Andrew's acting ability is so damn mesmerizing. To be able to recite this jumble of words so quickly in a (North) American accent that isn't his own is so impressive.
    He just draws you in, doesn't he.

    • @Shadywolf09
      @Shadywolf09 Před 7 lety +48

      Most actors in the beginning are taught to use their voice without tiring it. I did a voice class and you have to expand your diaphragm, open your chest and throat.
      The talent here is Andrew doing an American accent, which can be difficult to do for long winded speaking if the accent is not natural. When yelling, you cannot use your throat (the rasp or guttural action will damage your voice and it will quickly give out)
      He's using his chest to speak, which is why he can read fast at that pitch.

    I honestly loved Scott’s recitation better than Cumberbatch’s. It sounds so honest, conversational, insightful, encouraging, profound. Like someone’s standing there and talking to you and telling you this stuff. Cumberbatch’s was very performative, for an audience. Scott was speaking to YOU, just YOU. Like in an empty room.
    I can’t get over him.

    I struggle a lot with being confident in what I do and most of the time I feel like I’m not doing good enough. Sometimes it feels like I do stuff not for myself, but for other people. The world even. People keep telling me I’m doing great but I don’t believe that. It wouldn’t surprise me if more people struggle with this.
    The way he spoke this felt like it was directed at me. I guess I needed to hear this. It moved me a lot. Thank you Andrew Scott for this amazing reading!

    • @allieren
      @allieren Před 6 lety

      Ummagumma It's supposed to be American. 😉 I feel like his American accent is really good...but not great (don't anyone come for me, haha). I can hear the Irish in some of his r's and in some of the diphthongs. But I feel like, in those areas, our way of speaking is really close to theirs; I imagine it is difficult to do.

    He is so brilliant it is almost difficult to breath drawn in by his energy, emotion and Eros. Not to mention no trace of that beautiful Irish accent. However He is mesmerising. My fellow Libra.
    17 E. 64th Street near 5th Avenue........ LOL I grew up at 450 E. 63rd at the East River just at the time of these letters. End 1965 beginning 1966 I worked on 3rd Avenue just a few streets from the gallery. Hmmmm
    However, I do find the captions flashing constantly of all his words terribly enervating. His face and actions are diminished and they are vital to the entire performance. Not sure why Nowness chose this. cheers.

  • @MarthaGarvey

    I've only seen the Cumberbatch version before. This is the one, though. Hesse and LeWitt were dear friends, and they influenced each other, even beyond Hesse's death from a brain tumor at 34. LeWitt's cranky tenderness and belief in Hesse's work radiates from Scott's performance.

We can see the writing, meaning we can see what parts of the letter, that were meant to be in bold while others in monotone. It's the way we actually speak to our friends. I really felt like he was reading this to a good friend and giving them some good advice.

    @Layeredworld Před 2 lety +8

    It's funny, most of the comments talk about the performance, comparing to Benedict's one to this. What about the content? This letter is epic! It's a piece of art in its own right. Maybe that's what Sol was actually doing here? I know some of his artwork actually exists as just written concepts on paper, no tangible artwork as such. What was Eva Hesse's response? Did it help her see clarity or did it just drill her down deeper into the hole she had already dug? Overall I think we all need a friend like Sol, someone to tell us the real shit that's important in life.

    I just can't...
    why the fuck is he so perfect?!
    I'm crying!!! He's so fucking perfect!!!
    Why the hell isn't he mine?!
    He's such an good actor... oh, what am I saying? He's such an perfect actor! I don't care, I said perfect about ten times... The power in his voice... The look in his eyes... (a little bit psycho, just like Moriarty)... his slicked back (but still a bit fluffy) hair... I can't say it enough... He's perfect! The perfect personification of the perfect perfection... *I Love you, Andrew!!!*

    As soon as he said the first line, I remembered my best friend reciting this and thought, "Oh, that's where it came from!" XD Truly beautiful!
