We had to memorize that whole soliloquy for English class. It was so powerful hearing it in Birdman, and it really sums up the struggles Michael Keaton's character is going through.

Are you me? It's been 7 years since I graduated from high school and I can still recite this entire soliloquy from memory. Powerful stuff.

Hahaha! Macbeth is the play that really got me into Shakespeare. People say Hamlet is his most philosophical, but I think it's definitely Macbeth.

I completely and totally agree, although I have a soft spot for Hamlet because I feel like Horatio and I would be great friends. Haha.

Oh totally! I love Hamlet as well. I've recently started truly appreciating Shakespeare. Reading it in school it never clicked just how genius Shakespeare was.
