CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Hamlet (Mel Gibson) and Horatio (Stephen Dillane) meet a gravedigger on their way back to Denmark.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Franco Zeffirelli directs his third Shakespeare adaptation (after Romeo and Juliet and Otello) with this film version of the tragedy Hamlet. The titular prince of Denmark (Mel Gibson), returns home to his family's castle of Elsinore after years of attending school in Germany to find out his father has died and his uncle Claudius (Alan Bates) is the new king. To make matters worse, Claudius has married Hamlet's mother, Queen Gertrude (Glenn Close), whom he has unusually strong feelings for. Hamlet is visited by his father's ghost (Paul Scofield), who asks him to seek revenge for his murder. In order to find out who the real killer is, Hamlet stages a theatrical scene resembling his father's death. Claudius is upset by the production and leaves to arrange for Hamlet's murder. In the ensuing confusion, Hamlet accidentally kills Polonious (Ian Holm) instead of Claudius; Hamlet's lover, Ophelia (Helena Bonham Carter), goes mad and commits suicide; and eventually Hamlet and Claudius both meet their fate.

Alas, poor Yorick. He was a funny guy.
Yea
Funny how, pray tell? Funny like a jester? He cometh hither to amuse thee? He maketh thee merry? What, pray tell, dost thou mean funny? How is he funny?
@@ryand.5857 laughing from thy gourge.
@@ryand.5857Hey, why don't you goeth and know thyself, Thomas.
Now he just smells funny
All props to Mel, this is a delightful take on the scene. Usually it's done quiet and sad and introspective, but Gibson's choice of subdued child like glee is startling in how well it works.
It doesn't work at all.
The dialogue is somber and his delivery is completely unfit.
Definitely one of those "If it ain't broke, dont fix it" situations.
Gibson seems on edge in real life. Smoking, chewing gum. Always unsettled. He's carrying some Hamlet-like anxiety around too. So he is excellent and born for this part
This is my favorite film of Hamlet. If you read the play, this film shows exactly how you imagined in your mind. There are many people that don't like Mel Gibson playing Hamlet. I don't understand why, because he is brilliant in this film. He instills so perfectly the feelings of Prince Hamlet! It's a very difficult character to perform, but when you watch the film, you can feel every word, every sorrow, like if you were in his shoes. Also, Helena Bonham Carter's performance is awesome. And many performances of the rest of actors. Great film!
I remember when this movie was announced. People scoffed at Mel playing Hamlet, just as they did at Cher in her first acting job. They saw him as Mad Max, an action star, not a serious actor of any depth. He proved them wrong.
@@2degucitas Thanks!
@@evasanchezsaez8685 My being an ancient being comes in handy for trivia sometimes!
You should read "Philosophy in Hamlet" to understand Shakespeare's Hamlet.
@@slavenkat2927 Thanks for the advice, but I don't understand...
Hamlet is my favourite play. I've read so many times!
I understand quite well what Shakespeare wanted to teach to the people of his time.
Obviously, I'm not a master of Shakespeare's plays knowledge, but I think I understand the play quite well.
Thanks again.
Regards!
Look at the flashes of emotion playing in this scene. first curiosity, then horror, then fond memory, then sadness, and then nothing. Not the biggest fan of Gibson, especially now, but I have to say, this is a remarkable interpretation of this scene.
Mel is based and red pilled
he was surPRISingly good in that role. prolly the best he's done
@@lasttemplar3836 :Mel is genious!
Mel, while suffering from clear alcoholism, told us before almost anyone that there is a cabal of child molesters running Hollywood. And he was right all along. Same with Corey Haim and Feldman. People disregarded them because of their drug problems.
The two best renditions of this scene I've seen are this one and David Tennant's portrayal. There are a lot of actors who are good Hamlets, but they read through this scene like they didn't know Yorick, or like Horatio isn't there.
Yes. There is a real intimacy that needs to come out. I heard it once said that Yorick may have actually raised Hamlet while his warlike father was off at the campaigns. Yorick was clearly a father figure, entertaining the young Hamlet.
Mel Gibson comes from New York. New York is a very Jewish state. Horiatio IS actually there, BUT for the fact that it was repeatedly attempted to erase him from his mind- he is doing his best to interpret Horatio through Yorick. Although it is ALMOST completely impossible!
Mel becomes the moment and the character. Not many actors actually transcend who they are personally -but even in this short scene I felt in that moment witnessing hamlet speaking to the memory of his friend.
I like the way he puts the skull on the ground like that.
Ikr? More natural than just holding it while monologuing!
A very important scene: It's the last time we see Hamlet before the transformation is complete. The discovery of dead Ophelia being placed in unhallowed ground finishes what (presumably) began onboard the ship, when the pirates attacked. It's not merely comic relief for the audience, it puts Hamlet off so he overreacts to Laertes outward shows of grief.
Gush, I watched so many of his films but I didn't now Mel Gibson played Hamlet until now. And man, what a great performance here !
Best Hamlet. Mel knew how to act the words!
I think Mel Gibson carries this scene better than any actor I have ever seen. Really an awesome interpretation.
He does indeed. Olivier was too busy trying to be Shakespearean when he played it far too grimly.
In my opinion, Gibson performs Hamlet better than any yet. Most of the others seem to be conjuring up the lines and merely repeating them. Gibson becomes Hamlet here.
Indeed..in real life he might be considered a Hamlet-like journey-man
In terms of the movie versions I have never seen. But in the theatre, Benedict Cumberbatch takes the cake. He becomes Hamlet like I've ever seen any other in the role.
I think the best one was Kenneth Branagh’s... here Gibson looks puzzled and yet quite amused, while Branagh’s expresses all of his concern for the ultimate fate of every human being, and looks sorry when he understands that a man he would love so is now no more than a skull to hold.
Both are great performances anyways.
blueyyy Cucumberbitch is great, but have you seen Andrew Scott’s performance?
@@blueyyy5961 cumberbatch? While hamlet wasn’t a brut of a man he was manly. Cumberbatch is beta no matter how hard he tries to act differently. Giant infinite hell no for me
Alas, poor yorick i knew him..... IN AMERICA!
Ryan Klaassen I was literally going to make that comment
I did not expect YGOTaS to appear here.
Anyone notice that Horatio is played by Stannis Baratheon from Game of Thrones?
Otherwise known as The Mannis.
I love Gibson's Hamlet. The man is two thirds crazy, of course he'd make an excellent Hamlet. I say this knowing that if he heard it he would just smile, nod and say, "You're right and I f ing nailed it!"
Jekyll and Hyde or perhaps some version of the Joker would be fun too
The malevolence that rises againrt Hamlet in the aftermath of his father's death lead me to believe that Yorick is in fact the gravedigger himself. The irony that the jester of the unjustly murdered King eventually and literally buries them all notwithstanding.
That's a pretty interesting theory! He is a particularly funny and beloved character, and his wit is layered enough that this could have been a quiet intention of Shakespeare.
@@johnhein2539 great thinking. yet another thought to content with. It's why the Bard just refuses to fade into history
Translation from Animaniacs:
0:43 = Whoa. Check out Skullhead.
0:47 = He was funny.
1:01 = He gave me piggyback rides.
1:06 = I’m going to blow chunks.
1:16 = We kissed a lot... NOT!
1:23 = How come you’re not funny now?
1:38 = No one’s laughing now, and, by the way, your lower jaw is missing.
1:47 = Follow that woman and tell her no matter how much makeup she wears, she’s still gonna croak and end up looking just like you. And see if she laughs.
Hamlet doesn’t work on the big screen. This performance is not the usual Hamlet and that’s why it works. The whole movie is very compact and kind of fast paced, for Shakespeare though, and Gibson’s Hamlet fits just well. If you go too big like Brannagh, you miss and if you go too small, you miss too. In my humble opinion, this is the best cinematic Hamlet.
mel gibson is so damn good.
Zeffirelli convinced Gibson to be a great actor
يا هلا يا أبو علي. شلونك؟
Anybody here from LA.Noire when Cole said Alas Poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio
Is it real?
Well, a head I found without a body piqued my interest. See what you think.
@@captaingeengeen7260 I think it's supposed to be some kind of replica of an Indian shrunken head.
0:43 L.A. Noire Moment
Next time someone tells you Mel Gibson isn't a great actor, show them this clip and then kick them in the balls.
Good actor, bad person.
William Shakespeare also wrote _The Taming of The Shrew_ as adapted and modernized as _10 Things I Hate About You_ in 1999; I love that movie! Julia Stiles and Larisa Oleynik both stun me.
MEL GIBSON IS THE BEST HAMLET ❤️
Yeah I saw it here on UA-cam. We need more creative people like him in the world. Maybe I'll be like him because I'm entering the film and television business.
dayum this comment is 10 YEARS old. How you doing
I recall how people laughed when they heard Mel G was going to star in a film version of a Shakespearean play. He’d done so many action and comedies.
Then Hamlet came out. What a touchée!
I always wondered what Yorick looked like as a human. I'm surprised I couldn't find anyone else with this curiosity.
Kenneth Branagh has a flashback scene playing over this speech which shows Yorick and young Hamlet..
personally i find the living Yorick in that scene much creepier than the skull though, so it kind of ruins the mood for me lol
Yeah... Mel gets too much shtick for this part. He gave an excellent performance.
Even if he was Laurence Olivier born anew, critics would still find it discrediting to their own names to praise an 80s action movie star playing Hamlet. It is a very solid performance.
In my humble opinion, brilliant.
This really helped me out. I have to memorize this scene for an act in my class for TOMORROW! And I didn't know what the emotions were or ANYTHING! :D THANK YOU
How was it-
@@sirtchamp8033 lol
What is it with all early 90's films having this simular look. I mean Dances With Wolves, the 3 Musketiers and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and this film. Just something about early 90's Cinematography.
Mel plays this scene completely opposite of how I would think. But it seems to work pretty well. You would think this would be a more dark scene but he plays it with more wonder
I prefer this version because of Ophelia, I loved Helena ' version and I couldn't stand Kate's. Mel was very good as Hamlet also.
I agree. Helena captured the agony most beautifully.
I’m no Mel Gibson fan, but Damn he was awesome in this scene.
Wow, I really like the way Gibson plays this scene
Mel Gibson makes a great Hamlet because he's genuinely fucking nuts.
Mel was mad Max. Mel was crazy in the lethal weapon movies that I have never seen. Mel played a crazy guy his whole life. Hamlet is nuts. Perfect role for Mel.
You may be on to something here.
My two favorite movie Hamlets were both by Mels, Mel Gibson and Mel Brooks.
Any other Vicar of Dibley fans waiting for the gravedigger to say, “No, no, no, no....yes!” 🙂
The greatest cinematographical represenation of this scene possoble.
Mel Gibson used to do Shakespear! Wow, that's new...
Holy flying fucks! That's the same actor as Stannis Baratheon from GoT!
This scene is better than Branagh's
One of the best !!!
brilliant and correct interpretation of the scene. Will would have been proud to see this performance.
Hamlet: "Alas! Pork Yorick, I knew his smell."
Have a nice day
Gibson does well here.
alas,poor papyrus!
good one
Never knew Mel Gibson played Hamlet.
I wish I could take back my ignorance of that fact
>infinite jest
Oh, hello title of one of the finest works of postmodern literature in American history. I didn't realize I would see you here. RIP DFW.
this scene makes me laugh for some reason
Alas, poor warlock
*Draw 3 cards intensifies*
Aww 😢Bendito his jester friend Yorick, how he put young Hamlet on his back and play horsey with him, Hamlet remembering his friend while looking at his skull. Why must our love ones whether family & friends that we truly wish they were still with us must passed on in life? Some of Life’s Rules Suck❤😵☹️
My Name is Yorick and I am a german Stand Up Comedian and also this feels weird
Alas poor Yorick, this is a woman's skull
How can you tell?
@@stevematson4808 theres a very small mastoid process (the little bit that comes down in the back, behind where the jaw would be), and there is almost no ridge/furrow where the brow would be. obviously, you can't tell for sure, but these are all damn good indicators of it being a woman's skull
@@generalgrievous6833 if that was a womans skull mell would have been interrupted.
Can't believe he got so upset about Yorick he went on to free Scotland, and later one became a cop in post apocalyptic Australia.
I wish somebody would put this whole movie on here.
Me: *sees this*
ALSO me: Alas, poor Roarick! We know it; a monster of infinite breath, of most excellent Monstromancy; it hath borne a gleaming eye on its body a thousand times; and now, how adored in our imagination it is! Our spirits rise at it. Here hang those magical trinkets that cast spells we know not how oft. How be its vibes now? Its rambles? Its skull? The flashes of its Elements, that were wont to set the Sanctum on a roar? To sing or not to sing? No question - Sing!
What more are freinds, than to toss each other's skulls around after digging them up'ed out of the grave.
Vlogging behaviour was born in this scene. Except nowadays instead of a skull, we hold and talk to a G7X.
This reminds me of Tony stark and his helmet in the Avengers 4 trailer
You gotta Beyond the Trailer😭😭😭
Alas! Poor papyrus!
Zeffirelli convinced Gibson to be a Great actor ...
Initially, the idea of Gibson playing Hamlet struck me as a bit of a stretch, but he actually did a pretty decent job.
No one is like Kenneth Branagh
Holy crap, horatio is Stannis Baratheon!
I have to say, Mel might be the best Hamlet I've seen. On film at least.
I'm a little late to the Hamlet party but I'm here cause Black Thought interpreted & spun this scene in a freestyle. "I've had visions of Nat Turner holding his masters head like Yorick and Horatio in Hamlet" I nuts flip especially if you know of Nat Turner's slave rebellion. That's just powerful imagery. But that is my convoluted reason for commenting.
i thought like this before i read hamlet
I never saw this before. Gibson is pretty good
Where be your jibes now?
God damn it, I've noticed a continuity error. Horatio is leaning on his sword with his right hand in one shot, then picks it up from his left side in the next.
boohoo, shut up nerd
Yikes, poor Yorick.
dis iz my fave part of da movee :)
You will remember Yorick Mori...
wolfenstein brought me here. Strange
Well, I do *now*.
No fucking way. It's Stannis Baratheon.
Stannis !
No...N-no, no, no, n-no...yes.
alas, poor mel
Shakespeare is eternal.
that 'alas, poor yorick' line....mel gibson is jesus
L.A Noire brought me here
...death is only the beginning...
OMG, alas, poor yorick is a archivement of wolfquest!! And is a wolf skull! ,😂😂😂
Poor Yorick Entertainment
Eh, it's good, but I like Kenneth Branagh's version better.
I was disappointed in Branagh's Hamlet. He worked so.hard to make a completist version, and in IMHO, I just dragged.
How long would it take you to put paint on all the walls of a room an inch thick it would take forever
Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him…IN AMERICA.
How did Yorick die
Not explained
We should all respect mel gibson,but do yourself a favor and check out kenneth branagh version
Mel Gibson was an amazing Hamlet!
Tales From The Crypt brought me here! Lol
we are always stay up
