Three different versions of Hamlet; the ghost scene have been displayed in class. Personally i cannot choose between the first version with director Zeffirelli and the second version with director Branagh; if only we could morf the two together, in my opinion it would portray the play much better. Franco's version i loved when Hamlet (Gibson) in the scene while running with the intents music right before his encounter with the ghost; "his father". Yet the way Zeffirelli's actor of Hamlet (which is the director, Zeffirelli) partied the arrival of the ghost on a more emotional level i felt more interested in what was happening. anyways the third version of Hamlet by Almereyda, in my opinion was too modern for a Shakespeare play, so overall i would not recommend anyone to watch it.
I like the picture I can visual myself see King Hamlet. Also dont you think that in the movie with Mel Gibson that he portayed Hamlet better than the rest other actor who portayed Hamlet?
ReplyDeleteI agree completely on your thoughts on the Mel Gibson version, the music gave it more of a want to watch what was happening and to somehow spark your attraction, I also agree with your comments on the modern version, talking in old english in present day is just cheesy to me and doesn't go well together at all
