Rosencrantz.... enough said

O gentle Hamlet what affects you so?

Is it love at heart or madness of the soul?

I love you like my kin but I need coins

Damn my greed but I still love you so

Polonius hath talked so much of you

He sees your face so changed with grief of time

He wants to help but you reject it through

Know that facing pain helps to break the curse

But the spell of illness cures with truth

For living with the pain hurts any man

I know your father's death has shocked you so

But censuring Gertrude will do no good

She hadst pained dear Hamlet and I can tell

I see your gentle face but let her go

She loves the king with her heart's all

Know this is a time of pain for me

And know dearest Hamlet that I am here

Great Success... Almereyda

While all three film versions of William Shakespeare's Hamlet present interesting variations (whether in time, cultural examination, and actors) of a man unhappy with his life, only one film stands out as a true representation of cinema. Surprisingly, Almereyda's version, which takes place in 2000, trumps the 16th century movie by Zefirelli as well as the Victorian era version by Ken Branagh because of its creativity. For example, in the other two films, the setting (whether it be a courtyard or a hall) is so hackneyed that viewers are left wondering why they aren't watching a National History special on Medieval Times. This differs from Almereyda' s version in that Elsinore "castle" is really a hotel and the "kingdom" of Denmark is a corporation. This makes those who have read the play interested to see how the story fits into the a present-day setting. Further, Hamlet's representation in Almereyda's version is the best because Hamlet's personality in the film truly makes the audience feel that he is "naturally" in distress. In the other films, Hamlet, especially during the soliloquy, appears to be forcing such famous lines as "frailty, thy name is woman". This contrasts with Almereyda's natural way of expressing a soliloquy in a movie- Hamlet's thoughts are being expressed verbally while he works as opposed to him saying the lines to himself . Almereyda's portrayal of the soliloquy is the best because it is representative of what would really happen in any movie. These subtle differences ultimately go a long way as Almereyda's film version takes down the cliched and ineffective representations of Zefirelli and Branagh.
