Adapted by Maximianno Cobra, from Shakespeare's "Timon of Athens", the film exposes the timeless challenge of social hypocrisy, disillusion and annihilation against the poetics of friendship, love, and beauty.
I couldn't find the word for why I admired ian mckellen doing sonnet 18. This made me realize it was the "conversationalness" of it. It is not someone quoting Shakespeare, you are catching a person opening their heart to another person in real time and saying these words for the first time.
My favourite will always be Olivier’s sonnet reading. The one he done on the Dick Cavett show is genuinely one of the greatest pieces of acting I’ve seen.
There are some Shakespeare moments that make me weep. Horatio’s lament of Hamlet, “Now cracks a noble heart.” Judi Dench does it without fail. I think she is really the greatest living Shakespearean. Sorry to Maggie Smith fans.

She stops the whole room dead and holds it there. Drops into it seamlessly, the mode switch, total flow. She's absolutely extraordinary.

I have watched this a couple of times and I am coming to think that the tempo/meter of her delivery is what make her recitation so great.
Gives me chills every time I see this clip.

Demotic, idiomatic, colloquial.

She's just so wonderful ❤❤❤❤
this actually choked me up
Wow that was awesome!
I have tried reciting Sonnet 29 myself many times and I cannot do it like JD. She nailed it.
