Comparison Of Hamlet's Play And Movie

Decent Essays
I watch the full movie of the Hamlet and it is pretty interesting to watch the film version of the play. Thought the characters used the same words as in the play throughout the entire film, it sounds different and it was more effective. Those word in the play were very hard to understand and I guess some of them are not used in our everyday life but watching them in an act were very powerful and easy to understand. When I go through the written play I build up imagination of the situation in my mind and I found different scenario of the situation in the film which makes me realize that different people have different prospect and reaction to the certain situations.
In the film, characters have minimize the use of words but their act and scenario

    I disliked the fact that Hamlet over thought every little thing and was unable to kill Claudius when the many opportunities he was given arose. But when it came to killing Polonius, and sending Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to their deaths, after finding his own letter ordering his death, that was easy and he acted on impulse. Which is what made me question Hamlet’s sanity. Was Hamlet enjoying acting insane and subconsciously did not want it to end therefore not really wanting to kill the king? When Hamlet was in the graveyard and met the grave digger who had no sympathy for the dead which offended Hamlet, I agreed with Hamlet.…
