In the movie Hamlet, a Shakespearean tragedy, written by William Shakespeare and directed by Kenneth Branagh, the actors portrayed many parts with excellence and followed the play's write to the fullest.
The movie Hamlet, shows young Prince Hamlet, a conflicted Dane, battling with his emotions while dealing with the death of his father. He begins to suspect foul play in King Hamlet's death and vows to avenge his death. Hamlet depicts very dramatic and tragic scenes throughout the movie, keeping the watchers very attentive as the plot progresses.
The director and screenwriters kept the script very close to the original play, making only a few slight changes in dialogue. This kept the movie very similar in comparison to the play, making it less confusing and easier to understand.
Although there are many great aspects of the movie, I felt that it lacked in certain areas. For example, actors with a smaller or less important role seemed to be disconnected and distant from the scenes in the movie. I also feel that during some of the soliloquies, it was difficult to understand what was being said, due to how fast they were speaking.
This play would most likely be directed towards people in their mid-teens years since some scenes and dialogue would be hard for anyone younger than that to comprehend.
In summary, Hamlet is a well-written movie that keeps to the original play. This makes it easy to understand and watch. The movie keeps with the storyline and has a very dramatic plot that keeps the watches attentive. It is definitely worth watching.
