The First Ghost Scene

The scene that interest me the most was the where Gibson was being more realistic in his role. He actually made me have a better understanding of what is actually happening. It shows the funeral then it shows how he actually was reacting the way he was in the book. It is so dramatic that I actually know what is being said and the meaning to it. I also like the first video where Kenneth Branagh played Hamlet. He show a very strong approach of anger towards his uncle when he found out what his uncle did. It describe in a rich way how mother reacts towards the whole situation. Come on your husband just died and for her to move on that quickly shows that she is desperate. The very interesting part that really stand out to me, was where the uncle throw the poison in the King's ear. My reaction was "What a Criminal."


The main point for the revenge is for the throne. If you do think about it.. It is obvious that if the King was alive then the son wouldn't have been seeking revenge. I did not like the third video with the New York City because it makes no sense. Like really, you are that special for a ghost to come to your hotel to tell you to go seek revenge. I know he is your father, "yes,". But he should have told you in the beginning if there was a funeral. I  seriously think that the third video was just over reacting. And Hamlet wasn't even dramatic.. Its like his body language was like whatever. I do not see the whole point of paying attention to the third video because it is crappy. :)
