@icebird753 ?

[xNickTheBrickx]

didn't have the decency to say the "goodnight, sweet prince..." line!?!

[ik4rm]

@xNickTheBrickx made me wonder, also

[burntheretic]

@ik4rm it got cut off, they did a slightly abridged version of it.

[Deliree]

@xNickTheBrickx They did. Just watch the movie before you make a statement.

[D0abarrelr0ll]

@xNickTheBrickx He does it, the video just ends right before he delivers it.

[afterwardswhat]

@xNickTheBrickx i think he does...

[Huzzawful]

hamlet is probably the most depressing of shakespears tragedies

[ik4rm]

@Huzzawful

You would be surprised, but Hamlet is a comedy. Dark, noir, sarcastic, ill-tempered, brilliant comedy XD

[sleepcity]

@Huzzawful Try "Titus Andronicus." Most literary critics, even those who adore Shakespeare, can't seem to write more than two pages about it (Bloom, Goddard, etc.). I can't think of any film productions beside the great BBC one and Julie Taymor's...colorful... adaptation "Titus" with Anthony Hopkins. Not only lots of murder and rape but also a nice scene where Titus surreptitiously feeds Tamora her children for dinner. Yikes.

did anyone else think this version was complete crap and just a copy of baz lurhmans romeo and juliet

[HenryKrinkle666]

@chelseeexo No.

[MsNYG619]

casey affleck was in this movie, but I can't find any videos of him for this movie. I wonder what scene he was in.

[swannavon]

I have no problem with "modern interpretations" of Shakespeare, but this film just seems so flat.

[movies5star]

nice movie.....

[newerawearer]

i love this version as it hold obvious postmodern qualities and contemporary interpretations that are super easy to include in my essays/speech's.

however despite being a young, hip angsty teen (as we all are) , I wouldhave to prefer the Brannagh as a work in whole. This just seems like a shallow interpretation to me.

[sleepcity]

@newerawearer Do we need "postmodern" Shakespeare? Watch the BBC TV productions from the 70's and 80's. Miles ahead of most film adaptations in my opinion -- the acting carries it. I can do without "Sword"-brand guns, hip music, and modern settings. The words and the actors seem to be enough!

[newerawearer]

@sleepcity

true true, but like i said, the use of contemporary settings and hipness makes this a super easy comparison text when looking at hamlet inerpretations.

it's just so easy for a student

[Renabulous]

I just can't relate to the older Hamlets, I need something younger, angsty and more relevant to me, when I read insights into this character, I think of the stuff I'm going through so I can't watch some men on a horse talking high theatre and dressed in tights. I can do that for Romeo and Juliet which I've never related to but not Hamlet.

[RobTheBernardinosaur]

this is the worst version of hamlet but its the funniest one because its in modern time. Well no i lied the mel gibson version is the worse hamlet. The Branaugh version is the best one.

[missbabyice]

Can anyone put the whole movie up? As for whether it's better than Branagh's or not, it's more cinematic. From the clips I've seen of Branagh's, it reverts to stage mannerisms.

[ik4rm]

you should try p2p networks ,)

[bulletcookiegirl]

this is crap-watch kenneth brannaghs one or when it comes out the one with david tennant in it-both very good interpretations of hamlet-this one suckd

[ik4rm]

maybe - just maybe, you have to suppose i watch them all, and not only english interpretations, and you have to develop your taste a little ;)

if you have no instruments for interpretation of films like that, which use postmodern logic and symbolic/structural/pattern syntax for the palette of techniques they employ, you can hardly judge them.

and if you think - "that's not what Shakespeare'd ment" - well, I've read Hamlet a couple of times, and i can still discover something new every time ;)

[sexykarito]

where did u get this movie from?

[WHSfightclub]

DON'T BE AN IDIOT! THIS ONE SUCKED! order Kenneth Branaugh's version from Barnes and Noble.

[sexykarito]
