this isnt act 4 scene 1, its scene 5 ..... good try though

[JohnCartney]

@loudizfun No it isn't. In this version it's act 4, scene 1. bbc.co.uk/hamlet/plot/act4.sht­ml

[loudizfun]

ok, but in the literary version.... from the book that i have, its scene 5 ... scene one starts out with the heavy sighs claudius and gertrude ... and i cant post the link to prove it but look it up .... just cause some fool messed up the movie dont make this scene 1 ....

[JohnCartney]

@loudizfun Gregory Doran decided to place the madness of Ophelia as act 4, scene 1. Since the version I've posted is Gregory Doran's and not the book version you possess, then this remains act 4, scene 1. Blame him if you don't like it.

my school was doing hamlet for it's play and i had the role of Ophelia so in between classes to remember this part i walked barefoot down the halls doing this scene i think i freaked out a lot of people

Horatio was studying her bottom.

@maskeyfilmz117 Must have been something in the Danish water at the time. :-P

Wow. Ophelia and Hamlet are going to be perfect for each other. My grandma died in october and it's been five months... so far nobody's gone permanantly crazy.

[ddoouuaa]

this is... so... scary.

@loudizfun It's not some fool "messing up the movie", it's a director directing a movie! When transferring any play onto the screen you make changes. Heck, when performing a play on stage you adapt it to suit your audience, cast, and idea of the play. Theater is a flexible art form, it changes. That's how it's meant to be.

@hadassah179 The queen's hair is messed up because everyone is falling apart because of Hamlet's actions. However, if you notice, Claudius is still perfectly dressed until the very end, because he refuses to be ruffled by Hamlet's madness. Beautiful choice.

@ProfessorPher i never thought of that before. thank you for pointing it out ^^

[YuukiHyouketsu]

@Darienlover999 i think i agree with you there...winslet's running around with so-called "flowers" is something that i rather miss here

[Darienlover999]

I think Kate Winslet was better.

[hadassah179]

I pray why dost the Queen not have her hair fixed up like usual in this scene?
