Hamlet - Laurence Olivier - Shakespeare - 1948 - Part I - HD Restored 2024 - 4K - video Dailymotion

Shakespeare Network

Laurence Olivier's Hamlet was made four years after his rousingly patriotic Henry V (1944), and is a very different proposition. Unsurprisingly, given the tone and content of the play, the overall mood is that of brooding introspection - tellingly, in a phrase not in Shakespeare's original, Olivier opens by telling us that it is "the tragedy of a man who could not make up his mind", foregrounding the film's central theme, a neat metaphor for the uncertainty of the immediate postwar years.  He also largely eliminates the play's political intrigue: Fortinbras is banished, and so too are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern - the three characters most indelibly associated with the world outside Elsinore. These cuts focus attention on the play's central theme: the relationship between Hamlet, his lover Ophelia, mother Gertrude and stepfather Claudius.

Stylistically, Hamlet is quite different from Henry V. Shot in high-contrast black and white, it's not quite as overtly Expressionist as, for instance, Orson Welles' Macbeth (also 1948), but it's certainly a similarly claustrophobic, stifling experience, with none of the opening-out of its predecessor, or any continuation of Olivier's explorations of the contrast between film and theatrical performance.  The following year Hamlet became not just the first British but the first non-American film to win the Oscar for Best Picture, along with Best Actor (Olivier), Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design.

00:07:10I might not disbelieve without the sensible and true about you my known eyes. Is it not like the king starred to myself?

00:07:19Strange

00:07:22It was about to speak when the cock crew

00:07:26Then it started like a guilty thing upon a fearful summons

00:07:35I've heard a

00:07:37Cock that is the herald to the morn

00:07:40Just his lofty and shrill sounding throat awake the God of day

00:07:45Let its warning the wandering and uneasy spirit eyes to its confined

00:07:53Faded on the crowing of the cock

00:08:00Some say that ever against that season comes wherein our Savior's birth is celebrated

00:08:05The bird of dawning singeth all night long

00:08:07The bird of dawning singeth all night long

00:08:12And then they say no spirit can walk abroad

00:08:16The nights are wholesome then

00:08:20No planet strike no fairy takes nor which have part of charm

00:08:25So hallowed and so precious is the time

00:08:31So have I heard and do in part believe

00:08:35But look the morn in russet mantle clad walks or the dew of yon high eastern hill

00:08:44Break we are watch up

00:08:46And by my advice let us impart what we've seen tonight unto young Hamlet

00:08:51For upon my life this spirit dumb to us

00:08:53Will speak to him. Let's do it. I pray

00:08:57Something is rotten in the state of Denmark

00:09:34Oh

00:10:04You

00:10:34You

00:10:39Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green and that it us befitted to bear our hearts

00:10:46Grief and our whole kingdom to be contracted in one brow. Whoa

00:10:52Yet so far hath discretion fought with nature

00:10:57That we with wisest sorrow think on him

00:11:01together with remembrance of

00:11:04ourselves

00:11:06Therefore our sometime sister now our Queen

00:11:12Have we as were with a defeated joy with mirth in funeral and with dirge in Mary in equal scale

00:11:21weighing delight and dole

00:11:24taken to wife

00:11:27Oh

00:11:29Have we herein barred your better wisdoms which have freely gone with this affair along for all

00:11:36our thanks

00:11:42Now they are teeth what's the news with you you told us of some suit what is clear it is

00:11:47You cannot speak of reason to the Dane and lose your voice

00:11:51What was that big ladies that shall not be my offer not I asking

00:11:57The head is not more native to the heart. They had more

00:12:00Instrumental to the mouth than is the throne of Denmark to thy father

00:12:07What was that have ladies

00:12:09Dread my lord your leave and favor to return to France

00:12:13From whence the willingly I came to Denmark to show my duty in your coronation

00:12:18Yet now I must confess that duty done

00:12:21My thoughts and wishes bend again towards France and bother them to your gracious leave and pardon

00:12:28Have your father's leave what says Polonius?

00:12:31He hath my lord rung from me my slow leave by laborsome petition and at last upon his will

00:12:39I sealed my hard consent. I do beseech you give him leave to go

00:12:44Take my fair early at his time divine of my best graces spend it as I will

00:12:52Now our cousin Hamlet and our son, how is it that the clouds still hang on you?

00:13:05Good Hamlet

00:13:07Cast I'd like to come along and let thine I look like a friend on Denmark

00:13:14Do not forever with thy lowered lid seek for thy noble father in the dust

00:13:20Thou know'st is common

00:13:23All that lives must die

00:13:27Passing through nature to eternity. I madam it is common

00:13:33If it be

00:13:35Why seems it so particular with me seems matter

00:13:40May it is I know not see

00:13:44It is not alone my inky cloak good mother nor customary suits of solemn black

00:13:49Together with all forms modes shows of grief that can denote me true

00:13:55These indeed seem

00:13:57For they are actions that a man might play

00:14:02But I have that within which passeth show these but the trappings and the suits of

00:14:09This sweet and commendable in your nature Hamlet to give these mourning duties to your father

00:14:16But you must know your father lost the father that father lost lost his and the survivor bound in filial

00:14:23obligation for some term to do obsequious sorrow

00:14:27but to persist in obstinate condolment is a course of impious stubbornness is

00:14:34unmanly grief a

00:14:35Fault to heaven a fault against dead a fault in nature to reason most

00:14:41Absurd whose common theme is death of fathers and who still has cried from the first corpse till he that died

00:14:49today

00:14:50This must be so why should we in our peevish opposition take it to heart?

00:14:58We pray you throw to earth this

00:15:02Unprevailing woe and think of us as of a father

00:15:08For let the world take note

00:15:11You are the most immediate to our throne

00:15:16With no less nobility of love than that which dearest father bears his son

00:15:21Do I impart towards you?

00:15:24Your

00:15:31Intent in going back to school at Wittenberg

00:15:33It is most retrograde to our desire and we beseech you bend you to remain here in the cheer and comfort of our eye

00:15:39Our chief is caught to your cousin and our son let not thy mother lose her prayers Hamlet. I pray thee stay with us

00:15:48Go not to Wittenberg. I

00:15:51Shall in all my best obey you

00:15:54Why does a loving and a fair reply be as ourself in Denmark?

00:16:01Madam come this gentle and unforced accord of Hamlet sits smiling to my heart

00:16:08In grace whereof no jocken health that Denmark drinks today

00:16:11But the great cannons to the clouds will tell and the King's corrals the heavens shall roar again

00:16:19re-speaking earthly thunder

00:16:21Come away

00:16:51Oh

00:17:07That this too too solid flesh wouldn't help

00:17:12Fall and resolve itself into a deal

00:17:16Or that the everlasting had not fixed his cannon against

00:17:26God

00:17:29How weary stale flat and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world

00:17:37Fire

00:17:41Is an unweeded garden that grows to see

00:17:44Things rank and gross in nature possess it meal

00:17:49That it should come to this

00:17:52But two months dead

00:17:55They not so much not to

00:17:59So excellent a king that was to this Hyperion to a Sata

00:18:05So loving to my mother that he might not suffer the winds of heaven visit her face to roughly

00:18:12Heaven and earth must I remember

00:18:15Why she would hang on him as if increase of appetite grown by what it fed on and yet within a month

00:18:22Let me not think on it

00:18:26Frailty thy name is woman a

00:18:30Little man

00:18:31Or air those shoes were old with which she followed my poor father's body like Naomi all tears

00:18:39Why she

00:18:41Even she Oh God a beast that wants discourse of reason would have mourned longer

00:18:49Married with my uncle

00:18:51My father's brother, but no more like my father than I to her kill

00:18:58Within a month

00:19:00She married

00:19:03Oh most wicked speed to post with such dexterity to incestuous sheets

00:19:11It is not nor it cannot come to go

00:19:16But break my heart for I must hold

00:19:32Oh

00:19:52My necessaries are embarked

00:19:55Yeah, well

00:19:57And

00:19:58Sister as the winds give benefit and convoys assistant do not sleep, but let me hear from you you doubt that

00:20:14For Hamlet and the trifling of his favor

00:20:17Hold it a fashion and a toy and blood a violet in the youth of primy nature

00:20:24forward not permanent

00:20:26sweet

00:20:28Not lasting the perfume and suppliance of a minute no more

00:20:34No more, but so think it no more

00:20:39Perhaps he loves you now

00:20:41But you must fear his greatness weighed his will is not his own for he himself is subject to his birth

00:20:48He may not as unvalued persons do

00:20:51Carve for himself for on his choice depends the safety and the health of this whole state

00:21:00Then way what loss your honor may sustain if with the willing air you list his songs or lose your heart

00:21:08Or your chest treasure open to his unmastered importunity

00:21:15Be wary then

00:21:17best safety lies in fear

00:21:22You

00:21:30I shall the effect of this good lesson keep as watchman to my heart

00:21:35But good my brother do not as some ungracious pastors do show me the steep and thorny way to heaven

00:21:43Whilst like a puffed and reckless libertine himself the primrose path of dalliance thread

00:21:47Oh

00:21:50Fear me not, but here my father comes I stay too long

00:21:56Yet here there is a board a board for shame the wind sits in the shoulder of your sail and you are stayed for

00:22:02There my blessing with him and these few precepts in thy memory look our character

00:22:09Give thy thoughts no time nor any unproportioned thought is it either familiar, but by no means vulgar

00:22:17Those friends thou hast and their adoption tried grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel

00:22:23But do not dull thy path with entertainment of each new hatched and fledged come

00:22:29Beware of entrance to a quarter, but being in there that the opposite may beware of thee

00:22:35Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice

00:22:38Costeth I have it as I purse can buy a but not expressed in fancy rich not gaudy for the apparel of proclaims the man

00:22:47Neither a borrower nor a lender be although not loses both itself and friend and borrowing tells the age of husbandry

00:22:56This above all to thine own self be true and it must follow as the night the day

00:25:25My salad my good lord, I'm very glad to see you good even sir, but what is your affair in Elsinore?

00:25:30We'll teach you to drink deep how you depart my lord. I came to see your father's funeral. I

00:25:35Pray you do not mock me fellow student. I

00:25:38Think it was to see my mother's wedding

00:25:41Indeed my lord it followed hard upon

00:25:46Thrift thrift Horatio

00:25:51The funeral baked meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage table

00:25:56Would I had met my dearest foe in heaven or ever I had seen that day Horatio

00:26:02My father

00:26:05It thinks I see my father well

00:26:11In my mind's eye

00:26:14I saw him once

00:26:17He was a goodly King

00:26:19He was a man

00:26:22Take him for all in all I shall not look upon his life again

00:26:28My lord, I think I saw him yesterday night

00:26:34So

00:26:37Who my lord the King your father

00:26:42The King

00:26:43my

00:26:45Two nights together had these gentlemen Marcellus and Bernardo on their watch the dead fast middle of the night in us encountered

00:26:51Figure like your father armed appears before them and the solemn march goes slow and stately by them

00:26:58This to me in dread and secrecy did they impart and I with them the third night kept the watch

00:27:03Where as they had reported both in time?

00:27:06Form of the thing each word made true and good the apparition comes. I

00:27:12Knew your father

00:27:14These hands are not more like

00:27:16But where was this my lord upon the platform where we watched

00:27:20Did you not speak to it my lord I did but answer made it none

00:27:24Yet once me thought it lifted up its head as it would speak

00:27:27But even then the morning cock crew loud and at the sound it shrunk in haste away and vanished from our sight

00:27:41It is very strange I do live my long a lot is true

00:27:44And we didn't think it ripped down in our duty to let you know indeed indeed sirs

00:27:50This troubles me

00:27:53Hold you the watch tonight

00:27:55Armed say you aren't from top to toe all from head to foot then you saw not his face

00:27:59Oh, yes, my lord. You bought his visor up

00:28:09What looked he frowningly a countenance more in sorrow than in anger and fixed his eyes upon you most constantly

00:28:16I

00:28:18Would I had been there it would have much amazed you very like very nice

00:28:22Did it long while one with moderate haste might tell a hundred longer longer not when I saw

00:28:27His beard was grizzled. No, it was as I've seen it in his life a sable silver. I

00:28:35Will watch tonight perchance will walk again. I warrant it will I pray you all if you have hitherto concealed this sight and

00:28:41Whatsoever else shall have tonight give it an understanding but no tongue

00:28:45I will requite your love so fare you well upon the platform fixed 11 and 12. I visit you

00:28:49How do you love says mine to you farewell?

00:28:55My father's spirit

00:28:58In arms

00:29:00All is not well. I doubt some foul play

00:29:05With the night become

00:29:08Then sit still my soul

00:29:11Our deeds will rise so all the earth or feminine to men's eyes

00:29:41You

00:29:46Yeah, by truly it's very cold but there's a nipping and an eager

00:30:00What hour now I think it lacks of 12 no, it is struck indeed I heard it not

00:30:07Then draws near the season where in the spirit has his work to walk

00:30:32What does this mean my lord

00:30:37The

00:30:40King doth wake tonight and makes corrals

00:30:43keeps wassail and the swaggering upspring reels and

00:30:46As he drains his draughts of brinish down the cattle drum and trumpet thus bray out the triumph of his pledge is the custom

00:30:53I had Mary

00:30:55But to my mind though I am native here into the manor born. It is a custom more honored in the breach than the observers

00:31:01This

00:31:04Heavy-headed revel the east and west makes us produced and mocked by other nations

00:31:10They call us drunkards

00:31:12And with swinish phrase soil our reputation and indeed it takes from our achievements though performed at height

00:31:31So

00:31:37After chances in particular men

00:31:39That for some vicious mole of nature in them

00:31:43by the o'er growth of some complexion of

00:31:47Breaking down the pails and thoughts of reason or by some habits grown too much

00:31:53that these men

00:31:55Carrying I say the stamp of one defect

00:31:58Their virtues else be they as pure as grace shall in the general censure take corruption

00:32:05from that particular form

00:32:27If our spirit of health or goblin damned now commenced in such a questionable shape

00:32:35That I will speak to thee. I

00:32:38call thee

00:32:40Hamlet

00:32:42King

00:32:44Father

00:32:47Royal Dane no answer me

00:32:51Royal Dane no answer me

00:32:57It beckons you to go away with it it waves you to a more moving ground, but do not go with it

00:33:01No, my lord. It will not speak

00:33:05Then I will follow it do not my lord. Why what should be the fear?

00:33:09I do not set my life at a pin's fee and for my soul. What can it do to that being a thing immortal as itself?

00:33:14It

00:33:19Waves me forth again

00:33:21I'll follow it what to attempt you toward the flood my lord

00:33:23What's the dreadful summit of the cliff that Beatles or his face into the sea and there assumed some other horrible form?

00:33:29Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason and draw you into madness

00:33:33Think of it. You shall not go my lord of your hands

00:33:36You're old you shall not go my faith cries out and makes each petty artery in this body as hard as the Nemean lion's nerve

00:33:44Still am I called and hand be gentlemen by heaven. I'll make a ghost of him. That's into me. I say away

00:33:58Go on I'll follow thee

00:34:14I

00:34:44Will

00:34:49Whether without need me speak I call the father

00:35:00Mark me I

00:35:03Will I

00:35:07Am my father's spirit doomed for a certain time to walk the night

00:35:15And for the day confined to fast in fires

00:35:20Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature

00:35:24Are burned and purged away

00:35:28Alas poor ghost

00:35:31List

00:35:33List Oh

00:35:36List

00:35:37If thou discover the idea of father love

00:35:41God

00:35:43Revenge is foul and most unnatural murder

00:35:45Murder

00:35:47Murder most foul as in the best it is

00:35:49But this most foul

00:35:51Strange

00:35:53And unnatural

00:35:55Haste me to know it

00:35:57That I with wings as swift as meditation

00:35:59Over ports of love

00:36:01Shall not depart

00:36:03From the shore

00:36:05I

00:36:07Will

00:36:09Swift as meditation over ports of love may sweep to my revenge

00:36:14Now I am let here

00:36:18It is given out that sleeping in my orchard a serpent stung me

00:36:24So the whole year of Denmark is by a forged process of my death

00:36:30frankly abused

00:36:33But know thou noble youth

00:36:36The serpent that did sting my father's life now wears his crown

00:36:46My uncle I

00:36:49That incestuous that adulterate beast

00:36:53With traitorous gifts one to his shameful lust the will of my most seeming virtuous queen

00:37:03Oh Hamlet

00:37:05What a falling off was there

00:37:08but soft

00:37:10It thinks I sent the morning air

00:37:13Brief let me be

00:37:17Sleeping within my orchard

00:37:19My custom always in the afternoon

00:37:23Upon my quiet hour thy uncle stole

00:37:27With juice of cursed hemlock in a vial

00:37:30And in the porches of my ears did pour the leprous

00:37:35distilment

00:37:36Whose effect holds such an enmity with blood of man

00:37:41That swift as quicksilver it courses through the natural gates and alleys of the body

00:37:49Thus was I sleeping

00:37:51by a brother's hand

00:37:53of life of

00:37:55crown of Queen at once dispatched

00:38:00cut off

00:38:01Even in the blossoms of my sin

00:38:04No reckoning made

00:38:07But sent to my account with all my imperfections on my head

00:38:17Horrible

00:38:19Most horrible

00:38:24If thou hast nature in me bear it not

00:38:28Let not the royal bed of Denmark be a couch for luxury and damned incest

00:38:36But howsoever thou pursuest this act

00:38:40Taint not thy mind

00:38:43Nor let thy soul contrive against thy mother ought

00:38:49Leave her to heaven

00:38:53Fare thee well at once

00:38:56The glowworm shows the maddened to be near and begins to pale his unaffectual fire

00:39:04And you

00:39:07And you

00:39:09And you

00:39:14Remember me

00:39:25Oh

00:39:43You host of heaven

00:39:49Oh

00:39:52What else

00:39:53Shall I couple hell

00:39:59Hold hold my heart

00:40:04Remember thee I thou poor ghost while memory holds a seat in this distracted glow

00:40:15Remember thee

00:40:17Yeah from the table of my memory

00:40:20I'll wipe away all trivial fund records that youth and observation copied there and thy

00:40:26Commandment all alone shall live within the book and volume of my brain

00:40:30Unmixed with baser matter. Yes

00:40:36Most pernicious

00:40:38Oh

00:40:46Smiling

00:40:49So uncle

00:40:51There you are

00:40:55Now to my work

00:40:58It is a Jew and you

00:41:02Remember me I have sworn

00:41:08Oh

00:41:13So be it

00:41:30How is my noble Lord what news my all-wonderful fellow tell it

00:41:34No

00:41:35You will reveal it

00:41:38I'll see what heart of men once think it

00:41:43But you'll be secret hi my lord, there's an air a villain dwelling in all Denmark

00:41:53But he's an errant name

00:41:59There needs no ghost my lord come from the grave to tell us this

00:42:03Why right?

00:42:05You are in the right and

00:42:07So without more circumstance at all

00:42:09I hold it fit to be shake hands and part you as your business and desire shall point you for every man have business and

00:42:14Desire such as it is and for mine own poor part. Look you I go pray

00:42:18These are but wild and whirling words my lord. I'm sorry. They offend you heartily. Yes faith heartily. There's no fits

00:42:24Yes, my son Patrick, but there is always your much offense to

00:42:27Touching this vision here. It is an honest ghost that let me tell you but your desire to know what is between us

00:42:33Or master it as you may

00:42:35And now good friends as you are friends scholars and soldiers. Give me one poor request

00:42:40What is my lord? We will never make known what you have seen tonight my lord. We will not swear it

00:42:44If it's my lord, I'm a lord in face on my sword

00:42:47It's on my lord already indeed upon my sword indeed. Oh dear night, but this is wondrous strange

00:42:52And therefore as a stranger give it welcome

00:42:54There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio than I dreamt of in your philosophy

00:42:59but come

00:43:01Never so help you mercy how strange or odd?

00:43:03So where I bear myself as I perchance hereafter shall think fit to put an antique disposition on

00:43:10That you at such time seeing me never shall by the pronouncing of some doubtful phrases

00:43:15Well, well, we know we could and if we would or such ambiguous giving out denote that you know ought of me this to swear

00:43:21So grace and mercy at your best need help you

00:43:32Rest

00:43:37Rest perturbed

00:43:44So gentlemen

00:43:46With all my life. I do commend men to you

00:43:49And what so poor a man as Hamlet is may do to express his love and friending to you. God willing shall not lack

00:43:57Go in and still your fingers on your lips, I pray

00:44:01The

00:44:04Time is out of joint Oh

00:44:11Cursed spice

00:44:14That ever I was born to set it right

00:44:18Come let's go together

00:44:31As

00:44:42I was sewing in my closet

00:44:49Lord Hamlet

00:44:52With his doublet all unlaced

00:44:56Hail as his shirt

00:44:59And with a look

00:45:01So piteous in purport

00:45:05As if he had been loosed out of hell to speak of horrors

00:45:09He comes before me

00:45:13He took me by the wrist and held me hard

00:45:19Then goes he to the length of all his arms and with his other hand us or his brow

00:45:28He falls to such perusal of my faith

00:45:32As he would draw it

00:45:36Long stayed he so

00:45:40At last a little shaking of mine arm and thrice his head thus waving up and down

00:45:50He raised a sigh

00:45:53So piteous and profound as it did seem to shatter all his bulk and end his being

00:46:03That done he let me go

00:46:08And with his head over his shoulder turned

00:46:11He seemed to find his way without his eyes

00:46:16But out of doors he went without their help and to the last

00:46:23Then did their light

00:46:26On me

00:46:43My lead and madam

00:46:46To

00:46:48Expostulate what majesty should be what duty is why days day night night and time is time were nothing but to waste

00:46:56night day and time

00:46:58therefore since brevity is the soul of wit and

00:47:02Tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes. I will be brief

00:47:06Your noble son is mad

00:47:10Mad call I it for to define true madness

00:47:14What is but to be nothing else, but man more matter with less art

00:47:20Madam, I swear. I use no art at all

00:47:23That he is mad is true. It is true. It is pity and it is is true

00:47:29No foolish figure, but farewell it for I will use no art

00:47:34Thus it remains and the remainder thus

00:47:39but then I

00:47:41Have a daughter

00:47:43Have while she is mine

00:47:45Who in her duty and obedience mark hath given me this now gather and surmise

00:47:53To the celestial and my soul's idol the most beautified

00:47:59Ophelia it's an ill phrase a vile phrase

00:48:03Beautified is a vile phrase, but you shall hear thus

00:48:08In her excellent white bosom these

00:48:14Etc came this from Hamlet to her good madam. Stay a while. I will be fit

00:48:20Doubt well the stars are fire doubt that the Sun doth move

00:48:26Doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love

00:48:31Oh dear Ophelia, I am ill at these numbers. I have not art to reckon my groans

00:48:38But that I love thee best or most best believe it

00:48:43Adieu thine evermore most dear lady while this frame is to him Hamlet

00:48:50This in obedience hath my daughter should and more above hath his solicitings as they set out by time by means and place

00:48:58all given to my dear

00:49:01But how has she received his love?

00:49:04What do you think of me as of a man?

00:49:07Faithful and honored I would feign proof

00:49:11But what might you think when I had seen this hot love on the wing if I had looked upon this love with idle sight

00:49:18What might you think?

00:49:19No, I went round to work and my young mistress thus I did this speak Lord Hamlet is a prince

00:49:27Out of thy star this must not be and then I

00:49:31Prescripts gave her that she should lock herself from his resort admit

00:49:35No messengers receive no tokens

00:49:37And he repulsed a short tale to make fell into a sentence then into a fast then to a watch then to a weakness

00:49:44Then she to a lightness and by this declension into that madness where in now he raves and all we want

00:49:53You think is this

00:49:55It may be

00:49:58Very likely

00:50:00Have there been such a time I'd say know that that I have positively said tis so that he proved otherwise

00:50:08Not that I know

00:50:10Take this from this if this be otherwise

00:50:14How may we try it further? You know, sometimes he walks for hours together here in the lobby

00:50:20So he does at such a time. I lose my daughter

00:50:25You and I behind an arrest there mark the encounter if he loved her not and be not on his reason

00:50:32Fallen thereon. Let me be no assistant for a state, but keep afar. Thank God

00:50:38We will try it

00:50:40But look where sadly the poor rich comes reading

00:50:50Away I do beseech you both away. I'll board him presently

00:50:55Oh, give me these

00:51:04How does my good Lord Henley

00:51:07Well got a message

00:51:09You know me my lord

00:51:12Excellent. Well

00:51:13You are a fishmonger. Not I might hope

00:51:17Then I would you were so honest a man

00:51:20Aye, sir

00:51:21To be honest as this world goes is to be one man picked out of 10,000

00:51:25It's very true. My lord, or if the Sun breed maggots in a dead dog

00:51:33Your daughter I

00:51:36Have my lord let her not walk in the Sun

00:51:41Conception is a blessing but as your daughter may concede

00:51:46Friend look to it

00:51:50I

00:51:52Say you buy that still harping on my daughter yet. He knew me not at first. He said I was a fishmonger

00:51:59He's far gone

00:52:00Far gone, but I will speak to him again

00:52:03You

00:52:18What do you read my lord

00:52:21Words words words. What is the matter my lord between who I mean the matter that you read my lord

00:52:29slanders

00:52:31For the satirical rogue says here that old men have gray beard

00:52:35That their faces are wrinkled

00:52:37their eyes purging thick amber and plum tree gun

00:52:41That they have a plentiful lack of wit

00:52:44together with most weak hands

00:52:48All of which sir, though I most powerfully believe yet I hold it not honestly to have it thus set down

00:52:52For you yourself sir shall be old as I am if like a crab you could go backward

00:52:58And though this be madness yet does method it will you walk out of the air my lord

00:53:05Into my grave. Indeed. It is out of the air

00:53:09How pregnant sometimes his replies are my honorable Lord. I

00:53:16Will most humbly take my leave you cannot sir take from me anything, but I will more willingly part with all

00:53:24Except my life

00:53:27Except my life

00:53:57I

00:54:06Read on this book

00:54:08That sure such an exercise me color your loneliness gracious. So, please you we'll bestow ourselves

00:54:15Ophelia walk you here

00:54:27Let's withdraw my lord

00:54:57You

00:55:18Soft you know

00:55:21The fair of it

00:55:27You

00:55:57You

00:56:13Nim in thy origins be all my sins remembered good my lord

00:56:24How does your honor for this many a day

00:56:28I humbly thank you. Well

00:56:33Well, well

00:56:38My lord, I have remembrances of yours that I have longed long to redeliver. I

00:56:45Pray you now receive them

00:56:47No, not I I

00:56:50Never gave you what?

00:56:52My honored Lord, you know right? Well you did and

00:56:56With them words of so sweet breath composed it made things more rich

00:57:02Their perfume lost take these again

00:57:06For to the noble mind rich gifts wax poor and give us prove unkind

00:57:12There my lord

00:57:22Are you honest my heart

00:57:30I did love you once

00:57:34Indeed my lord you made me believe sir

00:57:40You should not have believed me

00:57:45Get thee to a nunnery

00:57:47Why would thou be a breeder of sinners? I

00:57:51Am myself in different honest, but yet I could accuse me of such things that it were better. My mother had not born me. I

00:57:58Am very proud

00:58:01Vengeful

00:58:03Ambitious

00:58:05More offenses at my back than I have thoughts to put them in

00:58:08Imagination to give them shape or time to act them in what should such fellows as I do crawling between heaven and earth

00:58:16We are Aaron knaves all believe none of us

00:58:21Go thy ways to a nunnery

00:58:27Where's your father

00:58:30At home my lord

00:58:34Let the doors be shut upon him that he may play the fool know where but in his own house

00:58:37I

00:58:44Have heard of your paintings do well enough

00:58:46God has given you one face and you make yourselves another

00:58:48You change you amble your list you nicknamed God's creatures and make your wantonness your ignorance

00:58:53Get me to a nunnery and quickly to farewell

00:58:56Or if I was needs Mary Mary a fool for wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them

00:59:00Don't I know more of it?

00:59:05It has made me mad

00:59:08I say we will have no more marriages those that are married already

00:59:32To another

00:59:35Go

00:59:38Oh

00:59:55Now his affections do not that way tend

00:59:58No, what he spake though. It lacked form a little was not like madness

01:00:04There's something in his soul or which he's melancholy sits on brood and

01:00:10I do fear the unheeded consequence will be some danger

01:00:15Which to prevent I have in quick determination must set it down

01:00:20He shall with speed to England

01:00:23Happily the seas and countries different with variable objects shall expel this something settled matter in his heart

01:00:30What think you want it shall do well

01:00:33But yet I do believe the origin and commencement of his grief sprung from neglected love

01:00:39How now Ophelia?

01:00:42You need not tell us what Lord Hamlet said we had

01:00:48My lord do as you please it shall be so

01:00:53Madness in great ones must not unwatched go

01:01:00Oh

01:01:30Oh

01:02:00Oh

01:02:25To be or not to be

01:02:31That is the question

01:02:40Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

01:02:50Or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing

01:02:56And

01:03:00Then

01:03:04To die

01:03:06To sleep no more and

01:03:09By a sleep to say we end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to

01:03:18It is a consummation devoutly to be wished to die

01:03:26Sleep

01:03:30The chance to dream I

01:03:35There's the run

01:03:38For in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil

01:03:44Must give us Paul

01:03:48There's the respect that makes calamity of so long life

01:03:52For who would bear the whips and scorns of time

01:03:58The oppressors wrong the proud man's contumely

01:04:04The pangs of despised love

01:04:10The laws delays

01:04:13the insolence of office and

01:04:16The spurns that patient merit of the unworthy takes

01:04:20When he himself might his quietus make

01:04:25With a bear bodkin

01:04:29Who would fardels bear

01:04:32To grunt and sweat under a weary life

01:04:35But that the dread of something after death

01:04:40The undiscovered country from whose born no traveler return

01:04:46Puzzles the world

01:04:49And makes us rather bear those ills we have

01:04:54Then fly to others that we know not of

01:05:08Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all

01:05:12and

01:05:13Thus the native hue of resolution is sickly door with the pale cast of thought

01:05:20And

01:05:28Enterprises of great pit and moment

01:05:32With this regard their currents

01:05:36turn awry

01:05:38And

01:05:40Lose the name of

01:05:42action
