He can recite Shakespeare to me all day! Love this man! He is a spitting image of my husband! Wish I could meet him one day!

Mr Pacino is and always will be my favorite actor! Wonderful talent!

This is a wonderful example of acting.I was sceptical of an American performing Shakespeare. However, Pacino's Shylock is the the I've seen .Expression in both voice and and face.Truly magnificent.

I've seen so many british actors botch him (damian lewis comes to mind), I very much enjoy the different style of acting that americans often bring.

They're so right when they say you learn acting all your life! Remarquable how he puts all his into these words, I hope somehow that Shakespeare can feel that too!

acting is just so effortless for him

Not particular fan of the Shakespeare, certainly Venice, but Mr Pacino, made me buy two DVDs in case one gets damaged. Stunning acting performance. It is difficult to choose, but for me his best one. Mr Pacino made Shakespeare's story alive better than the famous written word, which happens rarely or never, but did with Mr Pacino's master performance. Thank you.

How much passion in this little pease of video .. we have witnessed the acting magnificence in its purest state!!

Please protect this man at all costs ❤️

M. Pacino, you are incredible.

I’ll have been watching 15 different versions of this piece, Pacino can infuse new rage and new nuances in every single one

My favorite actor. Great performance.

Al Pacino at his finest.

@@000xyz Though classified as a gemstone, pearls are extremely unique, largely due to the fact that they are the only gem material formed and found within a living creature. Unlike diamonds, rubies, emeralds and more, pearls require no cutting or polishing before use and are simply stunning the way they naturally form. I inderstand your answer and I respect it. Mr.Pacino is and will always be stunning. Kind regards, Jeffrey

Way to go Pacino

I just wanna come here and say that this very speech...this here...spoken by one of the greatest actors in the history of ever, was written over 409 years ago. This is significant because the question of racism and the wrongness of it was even recognized by the greatest bard ever known in history.

You're brilliant.

Wow... 👏👏👏👏

bro went hard with this

I’d join TikTok just to follow Al Pacino (if he had an account!)

In the XVIII-XIX century they had the legendary Edmund Kean... ...we, in the XX-XXI century, have the legendary AL PACINO!!! 😎❤️😎❤️😎❤️😎❤️

I shall have my bond 👑

Wow

❤️

Legend experimenting and playing with great words

You are a genius

Same speech, same actor yet vastly different delivery and still as mesmerising as ever!

Freaking awesome!

Same WAY BACK

Mi godfather shylock

Omg

He's not doing a monologue, he's not reciting, he's not acting.. he's really angry! You feel his anger, his frustration.. it was so real you'd feel he is Shylock talking to you in person and you tremble in his anger ahaha!

Oscar

The man is an actor with a capital A.

Excellent acting but I’m not sure why he chose to give the character a Polish accent rather than Venetian or Italian? I don’t recall Shylock having been an immigrant

Are you fxxking serious? This short clip without any producing gimmicks conveys far greater energy and emotion than some “videos” in the theater made of hundreds of millions.

I watched "The Merchant Of Venice" and had sorrow for "the Jewish Moneylender' he had no recourse in the law; even though he would not bend in his desire for revenge ; Shakespeare was as much an anti-Semite as anyone else. He painted him with a brush filled with bloody anti-semetism. Could not the greatest writer of his time not rise above the prevailing thinking of his time and remove the blood in his pen and create a more respectable Jew? The portrayal of the "heroes" of the play make me wonder as to his true meaning in the Play. They were openly anti-semitic villains...is it possible that Shakespeare had an underlying alternate message to his play? or was he truly as bad as he appears in his play that would further religions persecution of the Jews???

To be honest, I don't think there is much debate or at least there shouldn't be. I'm sure given the end of shylock, Shakespeare was making a mockery of the hypocrisy of the Christian example. I come to that conclusion because of this speech and the trail. He was not shown mercy by the Christian at the end, he took away his dignity and banished him of his religion. Though justice be thy plea...

I can't wait until people in 400 years time criticise you for what you do now and the values that you had ingrained into you from birth. Do you eat animal flesh? Because they'll probably despise you merely for that. I can only hope that people in 2420 have finally come to the realisation that criticising people born into a totally different moral environment, 400 years in the past, is as futile and as fatuous as pissing in the wind. You clearly don't.

@@MacJaxonManOfAction Antisemitism isn't a 400 year old Phenomenon It is over 2000 years old, even from the first appearance of "isreal" in the nomenclature of the ancient world i.e. the Babylonian enslavement and the Egyptian enslavement, and the Christian antisemitism and the Nazi genocide...this isn't an "meat eating" Problem I wish it was something as unimportant as that...this the hatred for an entire people's basic existence; not about what they ate or eat.

A case of one drink too many for Mr. Pacino here. He's putting his whole range into one speech and the focus is lost. If you brought that to an audition, they'd say you had potential but it needs to be honed. Don't call us, we'll call you.
