Well... people think in different manners, see things differently, Without a doubt, this is the reason why there are so many different versions of Hamlet. This tells me that Hamlet is complex in the sense of poetry. I liked the version with the guy with the gun. He used lux aeturna , I think that's how you spell, to his advantage to make everything oh so very dramatic. It made me think like never before, my heart was filled with emotion and regret that I am not a poet.
In Lawrence Oliver's Hamlet, it was too boring, the guy had no talent what so ever, and it was just dull, the only intersting thing that was interesting was the dagger and the ocean because it symbolized death and troubles.
In Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet, it started of silent, he began talking to himself in a mirror. He was talking to his concience and was fighting it but with a sense of self control.
In Michael Alymereyda's Hamlet, the guy was filmed himself and kept repeating ,repeating over and over again to make it dramtic. He used a gun as a symbol of death and that's basically was happened, it was modernized.
Franco Zefferelli's Hamlet, the dude was in a tomb, and he was with his dead ancestors. There is peace after death, the lighting was awesome, great job by the way, and overall Mel was very passionate, clubbing his ancestors with no sense of disrespect.
