Jimmy's emotions

This clip from the 1989 television version sees Kenneth Brannagh as Jimmy, in probably his most vulnerable speech. Whilst in my production I'm looking for a colder, darker, more angry response, you cannot fault Brannagh's depths of emotions that grow throughout the monologue. It is important in this scene to see Jimmy once again as that vulnerable little boy. However, I feel it becomes more powerful if he is almost unable to fully express his emotions, and rather maintains that bitter, twisted nature that his past has created in him.
