Hamlet - an introduction by Kenneth Branagh

I can't tell what this movie means to me! I love it so much .... and Branagh is a pretty sexy Hamlet :-)

this version is incredible

"in 1984...when I was 6"
lol

I think Ol' William would have been pleased to see his play come so to life as this film allowed it to. I am watching it in class and it's really lovely. I can't follow the play alone, but if I read along with the film and make notes in my book at the same time I do. I appreciate this film!

egyptiangel320, now I have to watch that to see what you mean. You will have to check out the hand position. Now, everytime I see the film, I notice it and it forum and wanted to start a thread on odd occurances or mistakes in films. I was watching Shackleton last night and I notice something really strange. The individuals in the life boats changed. I thought it was my imagination at first, but I think I am right. It made me laugh, too.

Meant to add - this film is an absoulute a masterpiece....fantastic engrossing acting and such a dazzling, beautiful film!

Has, anyone ever notice in the film that when Hamlet dies his palm is on the floor; then when they show him next time and a third time his hand is in a fist. I didn't know corpse's moved...hheee...Wonder if Ken realised that or laughed, too. I guess you all can tell how many times I have seen Hamlet now to have noticed this.

lol i never noticed that but i did notice that when he runs after Laertes to up the stairs, you cant see his cut anymore. he has no blood on him

Is it just me or is this man a, for back of a letter word, troglodyte? His films are wretched but compared to this they are greater even than the symphonies of Brahms.

Yes, Brahms.

Well, I guess that at least he would be able to grasp the English language. Something tells me that he doesn't struggle with syntax.
