To be or not to be

Almereyda's Hamlet Version Response:

The setting took place at Blockbuster and it seems as if it was night time. Like Miss. Mergott stated; the ghost actually visit Hamlet in the night so obviously it has to be in the night. They weren't a lot of people in the store maybe because it was late too. It seem as if he is crazy by walking into Blockbuster and starting to give his speech "to be or not to be." The effect it has is to show why he is wanting to take revenge. He is thinking and talking to himself about life, death, fear, what will happen when things are settle/etc. The director is trying to convey by making it more modern. But to me it is a waste of time. Not trying to be rude. It makes no sense. Music was good, it went with the flow. Very interesting for the scene. The directors choice towards the lighting was just right because it was bright. The part where the fire was on the television was a reinforcing theme for his speech. The only symbols was the first blazing on the TV. The emotions was okay and the way it change throughout the scene is it was not too dramatic but a little on the attention side. The effects to me shows no interest. Am still not over the fact that he was in Blockbuster making the speech. Really (sarcasm!) They are many versions for you to see a glimpse of how different characters acts differently and for you to decide which one draws you closer to what is being said. The most effective version was Mil Gibson.
