To be or not to be - Assignment
The best, or not the best, that is the question. Whether ‘tis Kenneth Branagh or David Tennent; Laurence Olivier’s rendition of Hamlet’s soliloquy is surely the victor. Olivier’s excellent use of graphics, brilliant camera movement and outstanding selection in music makes it the best Hamlet soliloquy throughout the ages.
Firstly, the eye pleasing black and white graphics captures the mood of the soliloquy effectively. Hamlet is contemplating suicide in his soliloquy, so naturally the mood is dark and gloomy. The black and white graphics Olivier chose emphasizes the darkness of the mood. Furthermore, the duo-colored graphics highlights the choice Hamlet must make; it is one or the other, life or death, black

    Even with Hamlet’s vast experience and a “motive and cue for passion,” his “native hue of resolution is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought.” Like a slave, he is chained to his “godlike reason” and tendency toward melancholy reflection. Through his overuse of words to interpret reality, Hamlet is deceived and delayed. Consequently, his plans tend to “turn awry and lose the name of action.” Even his famous line, “I will speak daggers to her, but use none” relies on words and logical cowardice rather than direct confrontation.…

    There are many iterations of the Hamlet story that have been filmed dating from 1907 up until the year 2009 yet only five of those many movies portray a good feeling and meaning for the“To Be or Not to Be” soliloquy.

    Act 1, Scene 2 presents the first soliloquy of Hamlet, revealing Hamlet’s inner thoughts to the audience and creating a dejected and bitter tone to reinforce Hamlet’s proclamation of his grief. Shakespeare’s specific diction, punctuation marks and mythological allusions provide a striking contrast to the controlled and artificial dialogue that he previously used with Claudius. Hamlet reveals his profound melancholy in his outpour of anger as he floods his speech with harsh and depressing diction such as “thaw” and the idea that his “flesh would melt.” These words clearly show his desire to melt out of despondency and escape reality as the thought of suicide first begins to contaminate his mind. Existence is a burden, as Shakespeare emphasizes…

    In David Tennant’s 2009 film of Hamlet, he is bordering insanity in his first soliloquy, expressing a number of emotions within a small period of time. The scene opens with Hamlet walking into a dark room looking up at the ceiling as if talking to god directly wishing that he could end it all but knowing that he could not do such a thing. He then becomes weak, falling to his knees in the middle of the room crying as if he was a child. The audience can almost feel his emotions off-screen as he makes eye contact with the camera, emphasizing on the lines “but two months dead: nay, not so much, not two.” He is disgusted by his mother's actions and how quickly she married, not only another man but his father's brother, his own uncle.…

    He talks about the vile and incestuous wedding that has occurred, about suicide and about the rankness and corruption within Denmark and the world, describing the world as an unweeded garden. However, the juxtapositions give his speech greater meaning. He compares his late father (King Hamlet) to his once uncle now (step) father (Claudius), as “Hyperion to a satyr” (I.ii.142). Hyperion was the Greek titan who was the father of the sun, dawn, and moon. He had virtues of honour, integrity, and nobility.…

    As his mother pointed out to him before the soliloquy, Hamlet was grieving more than normal. Hamlet now uses reason to rationalize why he mourns so greatly: not only has he suffered personal loss, as shown by his father’s warmth to his family, but Denmark as a whole has just lost a great king. His emotion pierces the surface as he explains why he is…
