Hamlet Delima

Hamlet was not wrong for waiting to kill he's uncle. He didnt want him to go to heaven for the sin he commited towards his brother so he must wait for the right moment to do so. But i think it wouldnt matter when he killed him cause either way his uncle is going to hell. Claudis may have prayed and asked for forgivness but that all means nothing if he is not sincere about it. He is more concered about keeping the title as king and getting discovered for killing Hamlet then he is about griefing that his brother is dead and he is the one to blame for it.

In the second version (Branagh) of Hamlet it was more sinitcal and deep. The lighting was dark and they had music in the background while the actors were talking in a whisper. They made it even better by having the scene in the woods at night with fog . Its drew me in when its was so dramatic like that. The actor kenneth branagh played the part as the crazy hamlet very well.
The third version with director Almereyda , i didnt like at all. It was too modernized and it didnt have that dramatice effect that the other two had. Instead of the father looking like a ghost , he looked like a regular person. As if though he was still living and not dead like he was suppose to be. He made to much physical contact with Hamlet and if your a "ghost" your not suppose to be able to grab someones face .
The first verison with actor Mel Gibson was okay but i didnt like it that much. He was too dramatic for me and it just made it seem like he was trying to hard to connect with he's character.
