Anthony Hopkins can speak Shakespearean dialogue and make it feel like he's just inventing it on the spot 😍
SO TRUE!!! So many people just *recite* Shakespeare, which is why I think it can be hard for some audiences to grasp, but he knows how to make it feel so natural and easily understood.
Probably the only actor who can do that and still make it believable.
majooismajor Totally. What I'm suggesting is that he actually has a greater knack for communicating the dialogue than most classically trained actors. Perhaps not head and shoulders above a couple of the most successful actors of all time like you mentioned, but even amongst his peers, I'd argue he makes it feel more natural. Although "natural" may not always be the goal of Shakespearean actors. Personally, however, I admire Anthony Hopkins' ability in this particular regard.
The only movie I never dared to watch with Anthony Hopkins was Silence of the Lambs.
Chris Copeland, yes, it's called "acting."
"Better thou hadst not been born than not to have pleased me better" no one better than Anthony Hopkins, to play the role.
I never read King Lear. Was that being said to his daughter? That sounds cruel
Definitely a touch of Hannibal Lecter about that delivery - which I'm sure is why it's found its way into the trailer.
can someone translate to present day english, please.
@@miranx5735 It would've been better for you to have never been born than to have displeased me like you did.

Everyone's here for Anthony, but bruh. I just realised Flo's here! Love Florence Pugh! Guess I'm going to watch King Lear for real this time!
Emma
I love her too. She is really great. She is one of my favourites in the present day acting industry. I also love how naturally beautiful she is too. How she has the perfect look and figure also is not trying to look like everyone else. I am about to watch her in the new Black Widow. I've watched most of her films. She was absolutely phenomenal in Midsommar.
Anthony Hopkins.. an actor in the highest league of the finest ever. Love...
I understand the dislike of modernizing the setting, but honestly, Anthony Hopkins' performance, coupled with the rest of the cast absolutely makes up for it a hundred-fold! He is simply in a class of his own!
Also I might be one of the few that actually likes modernizing Shakespeare. Sorry to any that offends. :
Amazon is too cheap to pay costume and set designers. This is a disgrace to a classic
@Edward Lee Miller Hamlet was a banger
@@DanefrakShakespeare is perfect for all manner of different settings! For instance, McKellen in the film of Richard III
Complaining about modernizing the setting makes no sense and honestly just shows that people don't understand Shakespeare's relevance. Shakespeare is timeless, it should not be restrained only to depictions in a historic setting, particularly as it is fiction, he himself writes his works with no concern for historical accuracy of the times he depicts and not even when the plays were enacted in his times they were "accurate", there wasn't a historical costumes deparment and men played the roles of women, so you can't even say they were concerned with casting actors accuratelly. Shakespeare is not trying to do historical documentaries, he is writing about the human condition, passions, feelings and all of that, which continues the same to this day. Showing his works in contemporary settings only enhance this and shows how his work is still relevant and still speaks to our lives today.

Well, I'm certainly not an English teacher by any stretch of the imagination but, pip pip, ole boy, pass the lube and tissues I say.

Hahaha yeahh man
😂😂😂😂
all of these actors are taking this so seriously and anthony hopkins is just having so much goddamn fun the absolute madman
The way he can speak with such a subtle manner, it gives the performance so much power.
It's because he reads the script 250 times and it becomes his second nature, it's incredibly powerful the way he becomes his role.
You had me at "Anthony Hopkins". ;-)
That's Sir Anthony Hopkins to us! ;-)
And lost me at Shakepsear.
You had me at Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson
Ditto.
They lost me at "Amazon" I don't support pieces of shit like them.
I saw Anthony at the National Theatre in 1986 in King Lear. After the 3hours on stage I met Tony at the stage door and he gave a lift in his car, almost home! I have worked and met dear Tony before this.Derek
I've watched it more than once and I'm speechless: Anthony Hopkins is INSANE-LY TALENTED!
the pacing and diction of every single character makes this a gift like no other production I've seen.
Eric Cantona brought me here after giving a speech at the 2019 UCL. "As flies to wanton boys ...," this man just tested the limits of my admiration for him. And he defeated me. Respect.
Oooh, finally gonna get a chance to wear my turtleneck/ elbow patch tweed jacket combo when this baby hits the theaters.
Wolfman7870 You won't, cause it's an online movie
Kinda wish I had tweed but it never gets that cold where I live
@johnperry91 It's not a Prime Original like the trailer suggests. This was fan made - it was aired in May 2018 on BBC 2 in the UK.
Who came here searching about king Lear tale that is in their syllabus.
I'm writing tomorrow
You know he is will do this role justice if you've seen Anthony in Titus Andronicus. Truly a man made for Shakespearean adaptation.
and yet he disliked doing Shakespeare immensely, due to the demands of undertaking the roles on stage - hence his Macbeth walk out from the National Theatre.
Lucky for everyone that he did though, or we may have had to go without one of the greatest character actors ever to grace cinema.
Finally Shakespeare again! What amazing good actors!!
*_back in 2018 I found this movie just to confirm that anthony was still with us. Had been a fan of his ever since I saw Silence of the lambs back in 2015_*
I love that it is set in an alternative universe, 21st-century, highly militarised London.
This cast screams Masterpiece! I also spotted Jim Carter, Christopher Ecclestone, Tobias Menzies and Andrew Scott +_+ I can't!
The casting of this movie is unbelievably good I hope the movie lives up to its standards!
Emma and Anthony, that's it, nothing better! Can't wait.
Again. I'm a simple man. I see Anthony Hopkins, I press like.
In 'Thor: Ragnarok', they were going to have Odin homeless and senile on the streets of a northern city, like Glasgow. but they thought it would be too depressing so they let him die on the cliff in Norway.
But they kept the idea for Lear and it's amazing. So intensely moving.
Odin is Yelena's dad in the movie.
Legendary Sir Hopkins & Great Cast... A must see Film!
Sir Anthony Hopkins will be magnificent as Lear. The only other actor who could top this performance would have been Albert Finney if he were still active and acting.
0:49 it's the doctor!!
0:55 moriarty!!
Omg that's a good catch, I saw Moriarty but totally missed the 9th Doctor!
LOL Anthony Hopkins is amazing. Ever since I saw him in The Last Indian, I've loved his performance in anything I've seen.
Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, Jim Broadbent, Andrew Scott, and Christopher Eccleston? I'm in.
This was 2 years ago with Florence Pugh? The marketing for this dropped the ball! I gotta check this out!!!!!!!!!!
so cool seeing myself in the trailer even if its a split second hahaha
Dr. Ford sure has many talents.
sir. Anthony Hopkins 80 years old. What a Man ...
Anything with Anthony Hopkins acting like a nutter is going to be good
The very best scene is Lear and Gloucester in the shopping mall, with Lear as a tramp pushing a shopping cart. This is exactly what was supposed to have happened to Odin in 'Thor: Ragnarok': senile and homeless, but it was changed because it was too damn sad.
Anthony Hopkins is 80 years old and still got it! :D
Anthony Opkins est une légende d'Hollywood, un acteur de grand calibre, un artiste irremplaçable et incomparable.
Is this french?
anthony Hopkins is the best actor that cinema has even known
You can tell the great performance by Anthony Hopkins only by watching the trailer
Anthony hopkins is a great actor of all time
What a damn good cast - can't wait to see it
Werecati, i like the cast too! Canțt wait watching it with boxxy software
It's incredible
Hopkins performance as directed was a really extreme design the like of which I had never seen before. I don't know if I agree with that but man he really did pull it off I thought.
Anthony Hopkins doing Shakespeare again....HELL YES!!!
I like how they chose a modern day setting for the story as they did with Coriolanus, one of the best Shakespearean stories. Drama was my favorite elective back in HS lol.
anthony hopkins never seems to get old
This movie highlights the problem with modern-dress productions. Human nature hasn't changed since Shakespeare's time, but our social milieu has. It's awkward when a modern-day King Lear offers his daughter to Burgundy and France. It's silly when they pass hand-written messages instead of email or texts. Nothing is gained by "modern-dress" productions. Who needs to see an assault rifle in Shakespeare to say, "Ah, I get it."
It's annoying. There are certain things which just CAN'T be updated, so they come across as silly or downright stupid. When was the last time someone had their eyes put out in the Anglosphere anyway? What a waste of great talent!
You just learn to ignore it. What is it about slight incongruities that makes people so angry? This is a myth, you can't fixate on minutiae.
@@chazbrennan9632 Because it's something that tries to be creative but is ultimately a pointless and dumb exercise. It's one thing to put something in a different time and place with ESSENTIALLY the same story, but not 100% the same. My understanding is that that's what the highly-regarded Japanese "versions" of Macbeth and Lear are (off the top of my head, this is what they also did with Scrooged in the mid-80's). Would we take a modern script and place it in ancient Rome or Stonehenge? Probably not, but that's essentially what these people are doing. Just imagine, we could take, say, Star Wars and place it in ancient Egypt, but instead of flying fighters, we could have them in chariots, and the Death Star can be the Great Pyramid, and the droids can be ancient Egyptian gods, but we'll keep referring to everything as though they're flying around and they're computerized. That would be sooo cooool.
This is true, but they might do it save a shitload of money on costume design, props and sets. Cant imagine how expensive it would be to make that many shakespearesn era costumes
@@lm.2275 Agreed
It's interesting how many of Shakespeare's plays have been set in the modern day where the medieval politics are still in place. Like a crazy awesome alternate universe.
This should be in theaters. I'd see this.
Age might have deceived King Lear,but Anthony Hopkins is an exception.
Petition: Let's cast Hopkins for all of the Shakespeare's plays!!!
All these great names and classic story😭 my English teacher is going to love the fact that I understand Shakespeare now
Count me in! I would watch Anthony Hopkins describe how to make a PB&J!
Anthony = Oscar, no doubt, no argument. A truly great actor makes Shakespeare understandable. He is a bloody legend and should be honoured as so. Great cast too!!
Derision hath not such fury as a chuckle from Anthony Hopkins.
This isn't a Prime Original, this was made by the BBC and was aired in May, not September.
What a welcome surprise, seeing that proper acting still is a thing!
Can't wait....Anthony Hopkins STILL kicks ass!!!
Any actor can fail at Lear: even the greatest, and some actors just play it like it was child's play, because they possess, almost unconsciously, the attributesrequired. Immense power and total frailty. Hopkins is such an actor. He has always been a ruined lion and, with his one squinting eye and his toothless bark, he can make this mountainous part look like a molehill.
Anthony Hopkins What a great actor
I thoroughly enjoyed the adaptation of Richard III, and now we have King Lear :-).
Even Shakespeare is excited about this premiere!
WOW WHAT A CAST! I'M KIND OF BESIDE MYSELF RIGHT KNOW.
Holy moly! Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson reunited?!!!!!!!!!!
Anthony Hopkins!!!! Enough said. 😎
LOL I treated my Grandma with respect before she died, and everyone else just wanted her money. Then when she died I discovered she had left me nothing in the will. That's similar to a Shakespeare story. I was stepped over. I was given nothing and I was the fairest out of all the relatives.
Anthony Hopkins' name alone is enough to fill the theatres
So if you don't like modern dress, what would you prefer? Elizabethan? Then why is he swearing by 'the gods' and Apollo and Juno? Roman? Why Apollo?
Maybe ancient Saxon or Celtic? Then why the references to the non-existent realms of Burgundy and France, the non-existent city of Dover? Why the anti-Catholic references? Why dukes? They had no dukes or earls in the tenth century, or the eighth, or 100 BC.
It's not MODERN dress, it's neutral dress and it costs less than equally inconsistent period choices.
Anthony Hopkins was the muse for Shakespeare's King Lear. Yes, Hopkins was there!
I loved the part in the leaving cert in the script where he start shouting at the storm and acting crazy cause I felt similarly I'm my last year of school
Nice to see Hopkins and Thompson together again!
Shakespeare forged into even more contemporary confusion still.
I would love to see this, if only it was available on dvd in the UK
Emma Thompson! ❤️
Still waiting for a kitchen sink Pinteresque version of King Lear, set in squalid, working class London. Lear (Ray Winstone) as aging gangster and slum landlord. Ketchup bottle on the table, unwashed plates in the sink, rats, cockroaches, seedy night clubs. No-one has any fkin imagination any more!
Nice follow up from The Dresser
This is not getting a theatrical release? That's a shame.
Anthony, Emma, Florence, Andrew, Jim Broadbent, Jim Carter... this cast literally cannot be beat. and i'll fight anyone who's anti modernization: shakespeare only survives BECAUSE it can be reinterpreted over and over again.
Not a Shakespeare fan myself but I love the cast, especially Hopkins.
I became a fan of Shakespeare on my own once I decided to give his work another chance as an adult. I did not like being forced to read it.
Sir Hopkins, what a legend!
I watched this the day before my leaving cert english paper two exam and thanks to it I didnt fail
Epiiiic.i hope it lives upto the hype.awesome cast.
It did I think.
Wow, looks like a very interesting modern spin on this classic tale of madness. The cast & production value looks amazing!
I refuse to watch this movie, I can't... Feels like taking out the sward and join him, being next to him on field. Or to watch his play, and have a micro hearth attack!!! No jock. Dear you're the greatest actor of our time!!! LOVE YOU
Magnificent, I cannot wait to see this. Never been as excited about a film. Truly breathtaking. Shakespeare just was vindicated in torturing students, this is acting at it's best.
Anthony Hopkins!!!
The role he was born to play.
He was born to play Titus Andronicus, this is just an added plus.
@@aveuch This is just an expansion of that role, and it's a vastly superior play, so you might say that Tutus was a warm-up for Lear.
Nope, the role he was born to play is and always will be Hannibal. Actually, every role Anthony has ever played, he becomes is. What a great actor!
Ran (1985) is still the best adaptation.
Indeed. One of the best films of all-time.
Rob Bridges, Ran is great, but Peter Brook's 1971 film is hard to top. Most people haven't seen it because it's been tied up in legal limbo for years.
agree
I agree.
The beast emerges from the sky once more. Peace Christo
He plays the mad scene with Gloucester sitting on a park bench in the concourse of a shopping center, pushing a trolley, and it's a killer.
The thing about Lear is:
1. He deserves everything he gets; he's a proud, stupid, feckless, selfish man with little self-awareness. His abdication is totally consistent with his irresponsibility, and his clinging to power totally consistent with his arrogance. It's the kind of stupidity a man only gets after a long life of being blind and heedless. The ignorance of experience ignored.
2. Your heart still breaks for him because he finally learns (in the middle of insanity ('O, I hath taken too little care of this!') , and it's far, far too late.
Legit goosebumps by the casting of this movie
OMG! Hannibal Lechter IS King Lear! Got high hopes for this one.
Saw the movie yesterday..OH MY GOD!!!!!
Great timing! Good thing that got him to play this part while he still has a memory!
The actress from lady Macbeth! She's so good
So at my school we acted this and I was Cordelia and I can't wait to watch the movie when I get back to school!!
so this is what happened to ODIN after LOKI put the SPELL on him????
Remember he also did a contemporary version of titus
YES CAPITAL LETTERS
Ahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah that’s so funny and original man. I can say with confidence that no one has EVER made a comment even slightly like this one on any video starring an actor know for a role in a comic book movie. Keep up the good work buddy.
thank you my friend...
Actually, the plot of Thor 1 follows the subplot with Gloucester and his sons pretty closely!
Sir Anthony Hopkins gonna get that oscar or emmy....he is .deep in character
RIP ODIN,i miss Him,but this man is Gold
Looks great, I hope they don't pull that stunt where they take out 35% of the dialogue
Finally a movie I’m excited about.
Right and it’s not a superhero movie lol
