  • Quick! somebody give hamlet a Sonic Screwdriver!!

  • Tennant is unbelievable in this. What I really love, though, is the complete absence of a fourth wall. It's like we are the opposing side of his mind that he's battling. So powerful...

  • Did anyone else notice that when David said "murdered" it sounded a little like his Scottish accent was creeping out.

  • 3 people are Hamlet's uncle.

  • @szakattkorts Not really, he already had the idea, he was just explaining it to the audience, or technically working out the details in his mind.

  • O, gods how I love Hamlet! I do believe that the sentence to cross thine tongue whilst discussing my lord was, "I love Hamlet. He's full of epic win."

    The Doctor to Shakespeare: "The play is the thing! And yes, you can use that."

  • The use of the security camera is possibly the most genius move in this. It takes away the sense of distance we've had throughout the film and leaves us alone with hamlet.

  • David Tennant is mesmerising

  • @iloveanime12341

    My English class and I were wondering that last year. He is under a lot of grief do to the death of his father, his mother has become married to his father's killer, his uncle, and everyone is plotting against him I think he has a perfectly good reaso to have irrational mood swings.

  • one of my favorite of all hamlet's soliloquys

  • @flyawayhope Just some cynical humour/spoiler.

  • @thecrimsonbubbles Explain? It's been a long while since I've actually read Hamlet.
