"To be or not to be..."

The first one was boring,  the actor seemed to show no emotion and and almost monotone. It was very boring and I couldn't pay attention. The setting of this one was cool because the fact that he was on the edge of a cliff with a knife made us wonder, or think that he could choose not to be at any moment.  The music bored me even more.

The second one with Mel Gibson was less boring than the first one, it was a little over dramatic, but it definitely portrayed what he was trying to say much more.  There was no music in this version and I think that was a good decision.

The third one was different.  There was a slight background music that just had a soothing effect. I think it was interesting that he said the entire thing staring at himself in the mirror, slowly approaching himself. I'm not really sure what the director was trying to do by doing this, but I would like to know!

The last one seemed weird and didn't seem right from the start because it was at a blockbuster.. but in the end, it all made sense and the director thought out that scene really well. I thought that was really cool. In this version the music set an evil mood!

The Ghost Scenes

                                                          THE GHOST SCENE

           The most modern version of the ghost scene seemed really weird to me.  People speaking that weird enlgish in a modern day film! It didnt make sense and it threw off the mood of the scene.  It was a little easier to connect with because of the moderness, but the mood was totally thrown off.
           In the Mel Gibson version, the mood was a lot darker than the other two. This one was also very dramatic which definitely helped set the mood and give a better idea of what was going on in the story.  The actor portrayed Hamlet as a very loud and dramatic person!
          The version by Branagh was a very emotional version, and I liked how it showed the actual murder.  Anything that is added into the movie that helpes set a mood and explain the story is awesome, and this had a lot of that the actors in this movie were way ore emotional compared to the other two.  This was my favorite version.
