I love this version of Hamlet- of course Kenneth Branagh is a brilliant actor- but, uhh, he just looks too darn old. That's the problem with pretty much ALL Hamlets! If you read the play, it's so so so obvious that he is just a teenager. Of course, I suppose it'd be hard to find a teenager capable of playing this role, but at least get someone who looks young!
Also, I prefer David Tennant's take on this scene. :P

Kenneth Brannagh kind of sounds like Derren Brown.
-
He goes ham when he puts on the play, though
-
30's really not that old either~~~ ^___^ although compared to 17 it is...
I love that scene's very beginning, how he leans his weight on the chair like that, like he was holding back so much anger, tears and desperation throughout the entire wedding - to finally collapse like that. Awesome.

this soliloquy is a key point in the play, it higlights hamlets dispair and anger at his mothers actions and fathers death. he changes the time period of hjow long his father has been dead. it starts with "two months dead, nay, not so much not two" then "a litte month" then "within a month" whic shows hamlets mind is in chaos and confusuon. Kenneth portreyed this very well. and its so well acted.
