      Here's another. To Be Or Not To Be. If anything is similar is that both actors are Brits.

        I didn't say he was imitating Olivier, I said he was competing with him. Henry V and Hamlet were among Olivier's most famus accomplishments (he was knighted largely for this kinfd of acting). I think Branagh aspires to a similar position in the British acting establishment (and has probably achieved it).

          Proof?
          Mel Gibson played Hamlet also.

            Mel Gibson's Hamlet may be the worst ever made (only Ethan Hawke can compete). I have about ten versions of Hamlet, and Gibson's is almost unwatchable.

              Okay let's just stop the bullshit now.
              I'm only here this much because I wanna be near you.
              I couldn't care less about Shakespeare plays.

                  Have you read the books? Mankell is a pretty good writer.
                  However his books on Africa, namely Mozambique, are really good. Comedia Infantil ( its Chronicler of the winds in English ) is very good. Very far from Wallander tho…

                    No, I haven't even heard of him. Only Swede I've read recently is Sven Lindqvist.

                      Yeah Branagh was good in his small Dunkirk role but he has never impressed me in anything else.
