machop's favorite Hamlet version

All the versions of Hamlet we watched in class were pretty interesting. I like the second one by Ken Branagh the most though. I like the fact that it started where the play starts, and that it’s more accurate to the lines. The play and the film version I have chosen are similar yet different. The similarities are the sequence of events and the lines. the difference is subtle but it makes an impact on the way the viewer interprets the film. The only real major difference is that the films costumes are more modern then originally intended for the play.
In the film we got introduced to a couple of characters. Out of all that we saw Claudius is portrayed most accurately to what I imagined. Hamlet was a close second but I got the feeling that the actor was trying to hard to authenticate the feelings of sorrow and despair. From what I saw the director hit the nail on the head when making this movie. The only advice I would give him would be to make Claudius look more king-like, and try to get the actor that played Hamlet to feel the emotions a little more.
