Ken Branagh

  Branagh's version of the classic play "Hamlet" what by far the best choice of the three.  The characters did an very good job on showing the emotions throughout the play,into the movie.  Even within the first five minutes where the mysterious ghost was seen numorous times, the setting of the movie helped show the symbol of mystery that Shakespeare tried to put in his original play.  As the movie progressed, the story started to unwind itself.  My favorite part, so far, is when the ghost that identified itself as Hamlet Sr. told Hamlet that Claudius was the snake that killed him.  The part that i am most looking forward to is to see the play that Hamlet's players will perform with the modifications that Hamlet himself put in.  I CANNOT WAIT!!! :)

  1. I to agree with the way these characters were able to capture the essence of Shakespeares characters. It amazes me how they are able to do so even while memorizing the extravagent and rigid words of Shakespeare.
