"Hamlet".

My view  about the Movie "Hamlet" by Kenneth Branagh 

 I Really enjoyed the movie of “Hamlet”. It is great Tragedy of that time and Its give aesthetic delight while watching the movie.

1) How faithful is the movie to the original play?

Ans:-We are watching a movie, it is very faithful than an original play. The movie is more visualized than the original play. In the movie the character, scene and plot very beautiful portrayed and it is very well expresses the insecurity and aggressive behavior of the hamlet.

2) After watching the movie, have your perception about play, characters or situations changed?

Ans:- we are watching a movie, it is very well present the scene, plot, setting, situation of the play. In the movie we are slip down one scene to another scene at the starting, all are celebrating the function at the another side hamlet saw a ghost at the begging the Claudius is introducing our feeling towards his wife at the time he going to flash back and he is saw a letter to the public and said that how the king hamlet is handover whole business to me. The director vary beautiful presenting flash back techniques.

3)  Do you feel ‘aesthetic delight’ while watching the movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no, can you explain with reasons?

 Ans:- Yes, I am feel 'aesthetic delight' when watching this movie at the begging horatio and hamlet talking about it is not right that Claudius become king of Denmark. The horatio said that I know your father at the time the hamlet see a ghost. He is following the ghost and the said that 'I am spirit of your father’. Hamlet is see the father and he said hamlet that how Claudius is poisoned my ear. this scene give me aesthetic delight because that time the father and son meet together after the long-time and hamlet expressing very much love towards his father and he said that I am following all command of my father and I am take a revenge of my father and I am killed my uncle.

4)  Do you feel ‘catharsis’ while or after watching movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no, can you explain with reasons?

Ans:-Yes, I am feel 'catharsis' after when Ophelia and hamlet are died. hamlet is not decided to take a revenge of his father so he is living very peaceful life.the hamlet take wrong decision to take revenge of his father and his error of judgement that he is doing such kind of thing it is responsible of his downfall .At the end everyone praises hamlet but at the end the fortinbras soldiers is broken down the hamlet statue. he is responsible of his own death.

5)  Does screening of movie help you in better understanding of the play?

 Ans:- The movie is helps better understanding than the original play because it is gives wider knowledge than the original play. In the movie the audiences capture the moment which interpretation by the director. In the film the scene, plot, setting, situation is very beautiful arranged by the director. so it is better understanding than the original play.

6)  Was there any particular scene or moment in the movie that you will cherish lifetime?

 Ans:- The Ophelia graveyard scene  will cherish my whole  lifetime because she is innocent girl. She is very faithful towards hamlet when the Ophelia frightened that she is read the letter of hamlet and she is tell his father that  hamlet is a mad and worry about him. It is represent true love towards hamlet at the middle she very depressed that she listened the news that hamlet is killed his father at the time she is not sorrow his father but her grief towards hamlet at the end she is mad and she is committee suicide. she is very innocence girl and she is not doing any mistakes  of his whole life so why she is paid such kind of things.

7) If you are director, what changes would you like to make in the remaking of movie on Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’?

  Ans:-If I am a director of the movie of hamlet that I am changing the begging and ending sequences because the soldiers is broken down the statue of hamlet this moment is not right according to me because he is decided to take a revenge of his father and killed his uncle. he doing such kind of thing because he is follow command of his father. he is living peaceful life and he is not take a revenge of his father but he is doing such kind of thing under pressure of his father.

8)   In the beginning of the movie, camera rolls over the statue of King Hamlet out side the Elsinore castle. The movie ends with the similar sequence wherein the statue of the King Hamlet is hammered down to the dust. What sort of symbolism do you read in this? (Clue: In Book IX of 'Paradise Lost', Satan reflects on his revenge motive:       "But what will not ambition and revenge; Descend to? Who aspires must down as low; As high he soared, obnoxious, first or last, To basest things. Revenge, at first though sweet, Bitter ere long back on itself recoils." Is it not King Hamlet's ambition to avenge his death responsible for the downfall of his kingdom which is symbolically pictured in last scenes?)

 Ans:- In the movie the begging and ending sequence are similar wherein the statue of the king hamlet hammered down to the dust. This is Kenneth branagh’s setting. Here is suggesting that it is not king hamlet’s ambition to avenge his death responsible for the downfall of his kingdom hamlet is not to revenge of his father. The hamlet desire is fulfil when he killed his uncle. He is not take revenge of his father his is doing such thing because of command of his father. The revenge is an emotion that comes naturally and The revenge is never sleep of man it is told Thomas kid and eyerytime he is think about how kill my uncle and he is not living peaceful life under pressure of his father. The everyman is praises hamlet but at the end he met tragic end. he is own responsible of his own death because he is not decide to take revenge of his father so he is living very peaceful life but choose wrong path so he met tragic end.

9)  While studying the play through movie, which approach do you find more applicable to the play? Why? Give reasons with illustrations.

 Ans:- Here there are psychological approach is more applicable in the movie than the original play because this approach more illustrated by the director.hamlet is suffers the Oedipus complex because of his mother abnormally sensual affection of her son. hamlet think that why my  mother marry of my uncle and why my mother broken the vow of my father. She is not trust of her son so why she doing this. So why she betray my father so I am not understand of my mother. She hurt of my heart because she marry my uncle. Here the director is present mirror scene of hamlet it is suggest that he is depress to situation which is happens around. he think that his mother is living a life as widow of his  father but she is  not doing this and marry of my uncle. Here in the play hamlet portray  anger minded people and present the  aggressive behaviour  of hamlet and he is not control himself. In the play the hamlet stands alone  front of the mirror and he is speaking full of madness it is suggest that how he depress of the situation which is happens  the around  and how he slipped down  to the madness. Here there are two hamlet  in the movie  because one, hamlet is a noble, sensitive , intelltual, idealist and the sweet prince  and who express himself in a unforgettable  poetry and who is dedicated to the truth. The other hamlet who treats Ophelia and Gertrude so cruelty who stays Polonius and sent Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to their death so here we are see silt personality of the character of hamlet.

10)  Which of the above mentioned approaches (in Pre-viewing task) appeals you more than other?Why? Give reasons.

 Ans:- I think that here is textual approach is more appropriate  than the any  other approaches  in the pre- view task because one said that the text is best source of own study and text is give the  knowledge about the character, writer, society and text is best source is evaluate the work. So I am said that textual approach is more appropriate than other approaches.          


       Thank you sir, to sharing wonderful movie of the"Hamlet". The movie  give wider knowledge than the original play.
