I was privileged to see Richard Burton in this play at the Plymouth Theater in the 1970s, he was brilliant.

One of the most brilliant scripts (Thank you, Peter Schaffer!) EVER! And Burton portrays Dysart flawlessly...absolutely flawlessly.

Wow. Burton was the perfect actor to play this part, especially this monologue. The boiling rage at what he's let his life become, hidden beneath the folds and jowls of his aging face. What a brilliant, brilliant actor, and a terrifyingly true description of middle age looking jealously on pure youth.

Burton's character conveys a psychiatrist who has been woken up by the demonstration of the young boy's plight. He realises the boy is acting more honestly and genuinely than he ever has. I think he fully sees the many shortcomings of his industry through what he has learned in the case of Equus. It's not rage so much as it is a harsh learning and conviction of the reality of the situation that makes him vehement, jealous and bitter. He is intelligently moved by the boy's lack of social conformity or any other conformity in how he went about trying to break out of his trap. It is not middle age looking on youth with jealousy, it is lack of passion illuminated by passion, regardless of age, a lesson both terrible and wonderful.

What a bunch of crap. The cruelty and sadism exhibited by the "boy" is horrible! The film is one sick fucked-up old man looking at another fucked up, cruel megalomaniac and deluding himself that a fetish is a mystical experience!

I would award it to Burton for sure. Dreyfuss won that year for Goodbye GIrl but it wasn't exactly a weak pool of nominees that year with Woody Allen being nominated for Annie Hall and Travolta for Saturday Night Fever. It's a shame Burton was nominated several (7) times and never took home the statuette. :(

This is the horror of civilization, the extinction of passion. It is, as Dysart pointed out, an essential part of the human spirit without which we die. People in positions of corporate or political leadership attempt to destroy the authentic passion of humanity and replace it with an artificial passion they'd designed. It always fails.

@JuanMacready I feel sorry for you. To show so much bitterness towards a man you never met tells me you're not much of an optimist. As the old saying goes, "Haters gonna hate." I'm still a Burton fan and will be to the day I die. He was a talented and witty man. R.I.P Mr Burton, and thank you for giving us some of the greatest performances to ever grace the screen.
