  McKellens character must read the Shakespeare with sentiment. As most of us do. Branagh as Shakespeare reads it as it should be said.

  Which is actually why I find Branagh's reading rather odd. This is the poet, reciting his own words. It is not ordinary speech at all. It has meter and rhyme and breath and structure. Ian McKellen nails it because his delivery recognizes all those things without appearing to use any particular emphasis. A beautiful scene. Instructive of speaking verse for so many reasons.

  McKellan rocks! The text became more important than the rhyme. Branagh never let go of landing on the rhyming couplets. McKellan transcended them.

  Both versions suit the scene. The dramatic context invites these two particular interpretations of the sonnet. Shakespeare seizes the opportunity of this rare social encounter with the Earl to express his love. almost rushing through the words in case the moment is snatched away from him. He reveals his heart-ache and frustration that rank and society determine that his deep passion needs must remain hidden. Yet he yearns to know if his love is acknowledged and reciprocated. The Earl, mindful of his social standing, cannot give Shakespeare the man the requited love for which Shakespeare craves. Instead he uses his deeply personal rendition of the words of the sonnet to indicate to the poet that he not only admires and understands every nuance of the words that had been written for him, yet he also gives Shakespeare the honour of revealing his gratitude and the depth of his own feelings. A beautiful scene, with two sublime and appropriate interpretations by two great actors of this inspired and masterly sonnet. I was much moved by this quiet, intensely poignant scene when I recently saw the film. Many thanks for posting this extract.

  The guy recites and it is a monotonous clutter of words. Weight distributed across words evenly. Then Sir Ian Mckellen grabs hold of the words and the entire scene is grounded and a portal opens to the next dimension. Incredible.

• 
  @Ladco77 Жыл бұрын

  When Sir Ian says it, it's not like he's reciting Shakespeare, but rather that the words were his own and he was having a conversation of deep meaning. The words were alive as if being spoken for the first time and not recited from the dusty pages of an old tome.

  Did you ever consider that might have been the point of the scene? That McKellan's character understands Shakespeare's words better then Shakespeare himself? That maybe the contrast in their delievery reflects how they can convey their love in that moment? You dont think there's something to gleen from that? Pretty bold to imply Branagh doesnt "get" Shakespeare. He's Mr. Shakespeare in the age of film. He's the only person it feels like giving us Shakespeare fanatics anything to chew on and i am grateful for it. To say he doesnt get the material is pretty laughable.

  Thanks for the comments on the two readings. Just to be clear on my intention - by calling this "Branagh v McKellen" I did not mean to set up a "who read it best?" thing. In my view, both actors are delivering EXACTLY the performance that is required for their characters in this movie. If you haven't seen the full movie then I can see how McKellen's reading seems superior. But in the context of the movie, Branagh's pleading, needy, frustrated rendition is exactly where his character is at. Equally, McKellen's assured, accepting and grateful reading shows where his character is - and yes, it does work better for the text. The beauty of the scene, perhaps, is that by reading the sonnet back to Shakespeare, the Earl is showing Shakespeare the beauty and meaning that he (Shakespeare) has failed to see in his own work. :)

  Tis better to be vile than vile esteemed, When not to be, receives reproach of being, And the just pleasure lost, which is so deemed, Not by our feeling, but by others’ seeing. For why should others’ false adulterate eyes Give salutation to my sportive blood? Or on my frailties why are frailer spies, Which in their wills count bad what I think good? No, I am that I am, and they that level At my abuses, reckon up their own, I may be straight though they themselves be bevel; By their rank thoughts, my deeds must not be shown Unless this general evil they maintain, All men are bad and in their badness reign.

  Branagh's interpretation, though it may fit the character as he says it, doesn't really represent the sentiment as stated in the sonnet. If the speaker doesn't want to exchange his place with kings, why would he sound so dark about it? But the mismatch serves the story. McKellan's shows the sonnet's true philosophical stance.
