Hamlet Positive reviews

The costumes of the actors in the film are modern and gorgeous, and the scenes and lines are basically unchanged, which successfully reproduces Shakespeare's original work. The interior and exterior design of the film maintains the 19th-century Scandinavian neoclassical style. The background color is the solemn winter and white snow. It seems that crimes and conspiracies are hidden under the clean exterior, which also pave the way for the development of tragedy. Gloomy visual color. Director Branagh used extensive montage techniques in the film, adding flashback images in the narrative process. In this way, the language beauty of Shakespeare's plays and the visual beauty of movies are perfectly combined   .
The film is more in line with the tastes of contemporary audiences. Due to the use of pop stars, gorgeous scenes and other chips, the film no longer does not pay attention to the sense of rhythm like the old version, and the atmosphere has become more active. In the performance of Hamlet's crazy scene, the director cleverly used the refraction of the mirror. When there are countless mirrors in the picture reflecting Hamlet's painful figure, the visual impact on the audience is far more shocking than the vulgar bed scene in the previous version. Through this film, the audience can see through this story full of revenge, betrayal, desire, and ambition, and the intricate political situation and Hamlet's crazy mentality are more worthy of careful consideration   .

    This shot is amazing! I finally understand why there are a thousand Hamlets. With the dialogue of the play written by Shakespeare, the demeanor and action of the characters are supplemented, which is very in place. All the actors have a good command of their lines, and they are very comfortable in reciting lines like poetry. Not a single line was deleted! Although I started to think that the speed of speech was too fast, it was strange to use a poem-like tone all the time. In the end, it turned out to be quite easy to incorporate. Also enriched with a lot of details. For example, the indulgence of the decaying nobles of the kingdom implies that a kingdom is about to change hands, and finally the head of the statue of the old King Hamlet falls down like the final touch. It's just that Polonius' stupidity wasn't enough; Hamlet was happy when he learned that the king was really the murderer, which can be understood as making the king happy. But it was too easy, a little out of the way. Talking to the gravedigger feels like a dialogue between two world-savvy masters, and the final duel scene is also very real. When I was reading the book, I thought that it was entirely lucky for Fortinbras to be the king. It turned out that there was a conspiracy! The winner in life really is luck plus oneself.

    Ophelia, played by Kate, has glamorous scenes with the prince. The action of lying on the ground and twitching after she went crazy is sex action. This design is very genius! The design of smashing the statue of the old king at the end is also great. Oedipus is a ubiquitous existence. It used to kill the old king, but now it is the boss.

Hamlet quotes

  • Hamlet: Now mother, what's the matter?

    Gertrude: Hamlet, thou hast thy father much offended.

    Hamlet: Mother, you have *my* father much offended.

    Gertrude: Come, come, you answer with an idle tongue.

    Hamlet: Go, go, you question with a wicked tongue!

    Gertrude: Why, how now, Hamlet?

    Hamlet: What's the matter now?

    Gertrude: Have you forgot me?

    Hamlet: No by the rood, not so! You are the queen, your husband's brother's wife!

  • Hamlet: Whose grave is this sir?

    First Gravedigger: Mine sir.

    [Resumes singing his ditty]

    Hamlet: [Interrupts] I think it be thine indeed, for thou liest in't.

    First Gravedigger: You lie out on't sir, and therefore it is not yours. For my part I do not lie ins't and yet it is mine.

    Hamlet: Thou dost lie in't to be in't, and say 'tis thine. 'Tis for the dead not for the quick, therefore thou liest.

    First Gravedigger: 'Tis a quick lie, sir. 'Twill away again from me to you.
