My english class has been watching this movie because we've been reading the book. Usually people talk through the movie and laugh and joke but this part just shut every body up. A few people even teared up. I really did enjoy this book & the movie. I never thought I'd like a Shakespeare book but this one changed my mind
I believe Kate is the very reason I love Ophelia so much. I've always loved Hamlet (both the play and the character) but it wasn't until I saw her play Ophelia that I fell in love with that character.
Ophelia is insane, because Hamlet, her only love left her, that's why she sings love songs, she misses him. Her love for Hamlet is beautiful, it's too bad she dies...
@MaggotxOfxSlipknot didn't polonios and laertes tell ophelia to stay away from hamlet? and being loyal to her family, she just did what she was told? so therefore, she was the one who technically left hamlet. i always thought that she was heartbroken, but what caused her to go insane was her dad's death...
@kimmmmm04 It's not even that simple. She is told by her father to return the love letters she had received from Hamlet, and when she does (with her father spying on them), he denied that he ever gave them to her, saying that he never loved her at all, which is not only heartbreaking to her, it also puts her in a situation where SHE is the one seen as a liar and someone who is crazy. That, in combination with the fact the man she loved kills her father, is what drove her insane.
@ValkoinensOnna His name is Michael Maloney, idk what he's most famous for but i've seen him in this, Othello, (the lawrence fishburne version, he plays Roderigo) The Young Victoria as Robert Peel, and Babel.
Grade Twelve Uni English class watched this at the beginning of the Hamlet unit, we were all enraptured from beginning to end, and even the guys got teary eyed at parts, l-o-v-e-d it
@yaoirulestome And will he not come again? x2 No, no, he is dead. Go to thy deathbed. He never will come again. His beard was as white as snow. All flaxen was his poll. He is gone, he is gone. And we cast away moan. God have mercy on his soul.
Another great interpretation by Kate Winslet, whom I consider the best actress of our times. Her Ophélie reminds me the musical representation Ambroise Thomas conveyed to that character in his opera "Hamlet", with that sense of utmost innocence and pure desire of being happy mixed with a heartbreaking feeling of frustration. She remains feminine, innocent and somewhat passive even as she became crazy. It's a delicate, introverted craziness, and it's much more moving because of that.
I'm not very fond of her Ophelia, or this film, but it's so bad that it's good, in my opinion. But her Ophelia could use some work. Nice singing, though.
@TheCleanerFangirl : I agree with you to some extent.I did not find her acting that bad, but I just did not believe her: it was a little bit over the top, playing the crazy girl. I just rewatched the Gibson version and Helena Bonham Carter's Ophelia moved me deeply:she was sober, but very convincing: you could feel her total desperation.
This version of Hamlet was not bad, but a bit too long to remain interesting. I did like Julie Christie's Gertrude very much.
After all the excellent versions of this role, how did Kate Winslet manage to find a complex and really fresh interpretation of Ophelia? This kind of performance is no accident. She makes us feel helpless for that woman, just like those people in the room with her.
Kate Winslet has a beautiful, melancholy kind of singing voice. You can also hear her sing in the 1995 film "Sense and Sensability". I wish she had sung a song on Titanic (1997).
This song appears in Hamlet, Act 4, Scene 5, right before Scene 6. In my copy it's lines 185-194...and the lyrics and words in my play match perfectly...
Wonderful scene. Out of tune, flawed, and astonishingly human. A truly mesmerizing performance.
i love her voice <3 she's the best
