	Hamlet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hamlet's "To be, or not to be" soliloquy (Act Three, Scene One), the most popular passage in the play, is so well known that it has become a stumbling-block for many modern actors.
		Hamlet is pricked with the sword and fatally poisoned, but in the ensuing brawl, he swaps blades with Laertes, and deals a deep wound to Laertes with the poisoned sword.
		Hamlet is possibly the most discussed and contentious character in the whole of world drama and indeed in the whole of Western literature.

	Movie Habit: Review of Hamlet (1996), ***
		Nevertheless the movie is fairly well paced and there is enough happening on screen, even in slow parts, to hold one's attention.
		Though he killed Hamlet's father, he is not portrayed as a purely evil villain; his character is well-rounded, understandable, and human.
		Hamlet is laced with cameos, and with only a few exceptions (Billy Crystal, for example), they are too distracting.

		(Hamlet's famous reminiscence of the jester Yorick, for instance, is accompanied by a flashback depicting the man himself performing for the child Hamlet.) It also has the distinction of being the last film (as of Autumn 2005) to have been shot entirely with 65 mm film.
		The flashbacks and dream sequences even allow for celebrities appearing as characters that usually don't appear in the play at all, including Sir John Gielgud and Dame Judi Dench as Priam and Hecuba (mentioned in the monologue performed by the First Player on his arrival at Elsinore) and Ken Dodd as the aforementioned Yorick.
		Other appearances by well-known actors include Charlton Heston as the First Player/Player King, Robin Williams as the courtier Osric, Richard Attenborough as the English Ambassador, Brian Blessed as the ghost of Hamlet's father, and Jack Lemmon as Marcellus, the palace guard.

	Hamlet (1996) Movie Review
		Kenneth Branagh's 'Hamlet' is perhaps the most ambitious working of the Shakespeare tragedy ever brought to the big screen.
		The story of Hamlet as almost everyone knows is his determination to avenge his father's death at the hands of his uncle.
		Hamlet's uncle Claudius portrayed by Derek Jacobi is a sharp and well meaning portrait of evil which Jacobi executes with acute brilliance and his character is just as compelling as any in the film.

		Branagh, more than any other Hamlet, makes us understand the distracted, anguished and tortured prince, and guides us to not only an appreciation of his actions, wild and crazy as they sometimes are, but to an identification and an understanding of why (the eternal query) Hamlet is so long in assuming the name of action.
		One recalls that Jacobi played Hamlet in the only other full cinematic production of the play that I know of, produced in 1980 by the BBC with Claire Bloom as Gertrude; and he was an excellent Hamlet, although perhaps like Branagh something less than a massive presence.
		In the bedroom scene with Hamlet she becomes transparent to not only her son, but to us all, and we feel that the camera is reaching into her soul.

	Review: Hamlet (1996) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The political situation becomes clearer, and Hamlet is revealed as a knowledgeable man of the theater in his discussion of the boy actors.
		The story centers on Hamlet (Branagh), a thirty-year old Prince of Denmark during the twelfth century, who is mourning the death of his beloved father (Brian Blessed) and the untimely (and, according to custom, unseemly) wedding of his mother, Gertrude (Julie Christie), to his uncle, Claudius (Derek Jacobi).
		Hamlet sees his mother's sudden re-marriage as a betrayal of her union with his father, but worse news is yet to come.

	Hamlet (1996) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This is the first filmed version of 'Hamlet' to use the full text of Shakespeare's play, but Branagh didn't do it just because "it was there." His intention, I believe, was to make the play accessible and understandable to the general viewer without dumbing it down, so to speak.
		Let's face it, 'Hamlet' is not an easy work for the average person to understand and if one has never seen it performed before, he or she needs help even if they've read the play.
		Hamlet has the most lines of any Shakespearian character and Branagh makes sure that his viewers know what this man is thinking and feeling throughout the film, even if you don't know the literal meaning of every arcane word.

	Hamlet (1996) Movie Review
		It s great to see Fortinbras, and hear Hamlet realize how insignificant his worries are when these other horrors exist (this was an impressive and fantastic way to start the intermission).
		Although it s almost the longest movie in history (Cleopatra still holds that title) I feel the time passed by quickly (I heard people say this in the theater too), as a matter of fact, I felt it needed to be longer.
		But I feel that Branagh may have catered to much to the general public, and may not have given the play full justice by running through the text and not fully expressing all the words and emotions involved in the text.

		That says quite a bit right there as many movies these days have a hard time padding themselves out enough to be worth the eighty or ninety minutes needed for full feature status.
		The king noticing Hamlet’s sudden change begins to try to figure out exactly what it is that has his stepson behaving like the worlds biggest arse.
		As Hamlet’s behavior becomes more erratic the king (Derek Jacobi) becomes more and more convinced that he knows what happened, and sets out to remove him, because he is the only one who seems to suspect.

		The conventional wisdom was that movie audiences would not sit through a 4-hour movie, particularly if it was an adaptation of a writer as difficult to completely understand as Shakespeare.
		He avoids this trap by filming his vision of "Hamlet" with very set ideas that Hamlet never truly falls into the depths of madness, that his emotion of choice is anger and only when provoked.

		He references Ophelia's "singing" in Hamlet as "pieces of jigs." It's just wild to me that an ancestor of mine was kind of on the same plane as Shakespeare, or at least knew what Shakespeare was doing.
		The only problem with Branagh as Hamlet is that he's too old, but then, everybody who plays Hamlet is too old (except Ethan Hawke), and you just have to pretty much accept that (Hamlet is 30, and the kind of 30 who hasn't really gotten around to growing up yet).
		I do know the Henry the fifth ya'll are speaking of, but the difference to me beyond an excellent movie is that difference where he produces the entire play.
