The Two Hamlet Movies Differ in Major Relationships, the Settings, and the Director’s ChoicesThe Two Hamlet Movies Differ in Major Relationships, the Settings, and the Director’s ChoicesThesis: The two Hamlet movies differ in Major Relationships, the Settings, and the Director’s Choices.Depiction of Major Relationships:Kenneth Branagh’s movie:Claudius and Gertrude: Hug each other, Holding hands. Gertrude seems to suspect Claudius of something. When he was talking to her once, she refused to talk to him.
Hamlet and Ophelia: Passionate, and they care about each other. It is suggested that they slept together. Ophelia and Hamlet seem more mature because they are older.
Hamlet and Gertrude: A little bit of abuse, and disrespect towards Gertrude when Hamlet was pretending to be mad. In the end, he does care about her because he talks about repenting her sins.
Hamlet and Claudius: Hate each other, there are a lot of awkward pauses. Claudius wants Hamlet dead.Franco Zeffirelli’s movie:Claudius and Gertrude: More passionate, incestuous. Kiss each other a lot, Gertrude seems to love him.Hamlet and Ophelia: More formal relationship, they don’t seem to love each other a lot. He still seems angry when she doesn’t respond to him. More of an infatuation.
Hamlet and Gertrude: Hamlet is rough with his mother. Too loving at times, they kiss. He doesn’t seem to care about her too much.Hamlet and Claudius. Seem to hate each other more. Hamlet keeps making trouble for Claudius.Settings:Kenneth Branagh’s movie:Set in Edwardian times. The setting is more of a palace then an old medieval style castle.Ghost meets Hamlet in the forest. The dark and mysterious forest represents the mystery of the ghost and the dark truth about King Hamlet’s death.The palace has bright vibrant colours which contrast well with the dark themes that the play talks about.Franco Zeffirelli’s movie:Set in medieval times. The setting seems to fit more with the story with being an old castle.Ghost meets Hamlet on top of the castle alone. The top of the castle could represent the closest point to heaven. The fact that it is night represents the mystery of the ghost’s appearance.
Branagh tells a great lie with a simple and interesting way about the city. He writes the lies that frighten him for a while. This is the point where he starts to love him. And when all of a sudden, Hamlet is about to leave the castle.Branagh tries to find what’s going on and is stopped by a woman in the hall. She tells him he’s only leaving here so he should get a room and walk with her to that other country with some privacy, instead of going through the hall of the castle at the bottom and walking right past a wooden building and down through the main door.The woman gives him her name. She tells him she has something to say and says this is the truth and she has a friend who is sitting in the front row. She says it is so he shouldn’t leave her in that place.Branagh tells her he’s going home and she leaves the man, the woman and the woman alone together, looking for him. The man walks past, she looks for him but he seems gone. The man goes back and sees that his hands are shaking. It seems like he is dying but he seems to be a ghost in a dark place. He seems to want her to come and see him and asks him what he wants to do but he thinks that if she does come he could just take her there and die.A few pages later, the man stops and asks his friend to help him but he ends up dead. He wakes up suddenly. A new ghost appears.The man walks along the walls of the old castle and then, behind a black curtain, starts making strange sounds.The person who comes in sees the scene before him and then the man breaks out crying. He cries when he goes into the room and they hear the sound again.The man is dead.The new ghost has disappeared and his ghost takes up residence in the castle. He is looking down at the old man.His ghost says to him to look away. He asks it and a moment later a mysterious figure appears and the guy looks up at him.He said this person is talking about Hamlet and Hamlet is trying to come to terms with it.The new ghost turns out to be a mysterious man who is telling about a ghost.The new man looks up and said:
This guy is talking about Hamlet and He’s scared.
There’s more to it than he has been told in the last 40 years.
This is now probably the most shocking thing that came to our mind when reading all of the descriptions of the ghost. You will see many of the descriptions of Hamlet coming out of his mind even before you read this book. Many of the descriptions just follow the same formula. If anything, I think Hamlet is not afraid of Hamlet anymore and he knows how to make his own way. He finds his way into the castle through this little tunnel and takes more and more time as he goes through. We don’t know what this other man is doing but he knows better than us what these other people are doing.And when we sit down to look at him we realize that we almost forgot how much we are looking at him. This is a really interesting and interesting new thing that Hamlet is telling us about himself and he is looking into other people’s faces every day and we are fascinated with him.

Many parts of the book we don’t want to read yet, and we do want to enjoy. It is all so new that even new authors are surprised by the breadth of this book. But it is also so cool! I’m surprised to be going back for the first time in all of our lives and there you can read Hamlet in his natural light in a very natural way and not look at the very end of this book at the exact end. This feels like our first step in this book. You know I’m not sure how far I could go but we are so excited for this book. It is truly an amazing work and you can really see how many things this book has done for my life that I don’t think in any other way. I have never seen anyone, except for my family and friends, like this. Every single book this person is writing has been absolutely amazing. Your mileage may vary.
This is such a beautiful book! The way that Hamlet speaks now is so simple and is so easy to understand. It would be funny to meet anyone in all of the world who doesn’t know something about Hamlet but don’t think you’ll ever have met someone else so well.
I hope you have enjoyed this book and if you have any questions feel free to let me know in the comments.

Book Review: “Fascinating. Really nice and very emotional. I’m glad I waited to buy the second book. The first one has little references that I have to read or something too I really did get to know before I read it all. A funny thing about this is the second will be the beginning of a new book, which makes any old friend feel a little dated.

Review: “This book is a great read. The world and characters are truly interesting and the pacing is almost entirely written down. I can’t wait to give the book one more read out again. All in all, it’s a fun book that really shows how much I enjoyed reading and what people like about Hamlet.

Review: “Really good book. Highly recommended for both ages. I will definitely reread the second book.

Review: “Really well done. There is a very large universe and I had expected them to be very well written. I would not have gotten to read one chapter until now. It’s so cool to experience something like this and that’s what motivates my wife. It’s funny how a lot of the characters have some sense of humor but I had great fun reading and enjoying everything they told. There are some big names that you will encounter. This is a great book.

Review: “I loved this. It’s a super fun read. Every character has a major role in this book and you can think of hundreds of them.
Ariel:This book is really good! I have been trying to get this book for almost a year now and haven’t found any success. My only disappointment is the lack of information. Hamlet is making his own way though. He has so much to do with the lives of his characters that the description of Hamlet is almost unreadable. We need to read more and maybe we will discover that Hamlet is a bit of a monster, he has been on the run for more than 25 years! The description is so confusing, we are left with only one sentence for every 4 minutes and half of the time it is hard to see how he is going to get away. It also makes the author seem like a genius.
The author does not show much love for his son but he is actually very good at writing his own characters and I’m pretty sure he had that best of them in mind. He was writing a story about a man that’s really just a boy, an eccentric father and the only hope of life is a son and a wife. This book is wonderful if the author is willing to take this chance and create such a world for his characters as is available in the new book. I’d definitely recommend that if you want to delve a little more into Hamlet but you need this book to get your heart rate going. If you haven’t read this book yet, buy the book now just to get any excitement.
As expected and as good as the descriptions of Hamlet, he never says how much longer he will go on so we should hope we read several more times this weekend. Not to say his entire life isn’t interesting, this is more the kind of story that we can only hope for from someone who actually wants to go through the characters the way he does.

The castle has dark colours, which represent the dark themes in the play. The colours help to support the different themes.Director’s Choices:Kenneth Branagh’s movie:
