Hello readers ,
Welcome to my blog . This is my thinking activity task given by Dr. Dilip Barad sir . Click here to view about the task .
Hamlet is a 1996 film adaptation of William Shakespeare's play Hamlet . And this movie adapted and directed by Kenneth Branagh . Who also star as prince Hamlet . Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet is only full version of movie no editing and cutting of dilogues . And also Kenneth Branagh used many original dilogues of the book .
∆ How faithful is the movie to the original play ?
∆ After watching the movie your perception about play , Characters or situations changed ?
According to my interpretation , while keeping all of Shakespeare's original text , Kenneth Branagh change the settings of the play from the Renaissance era to the 19 the century . Instead of the stereotypical Shakespearean visual of light and big collars the characters dress much more modern looking Victorian clothies . Hamlet for example wear very simple black coat and trousers for a large part of movie .
And also in the film we find that the Hamlet is potrayed as too old than the real prince Hamlet in the play who is very young . And Ophelia is also a powerful character .
∆ Do you feel ' aesthetic ' delight while watching the movie ? If yes , exactly when did it happen ? If no , can you explain with reason ?
Yes , I feel aesthetic delight while watching the movie . In the movie the beginning of the movie The Elsinore Castel , and also the character of Hamlet is more attractive, his madness , mental struggling , his split personality , his misogyny , and also ghost . This all give me aesthetic delight .
∆ Do you feel ' catharsis ' while or after watching movie ? If yes , exactly when did happen ? If no , can you explain with the reason ?
Yes , I feel catharsis in the play . In the movie when the Hamlet was cone back Wittenberg to Denmark , at that time he hears the sudden death of his Father king Hamlet and his mother who marriage with his uncle . And also while Ophelia became made after death of his father , in this movie we find that no one who can understand her feelings and situations . And then at the end she became committed suicide . At that time I feel pity for her . And at the end we find Ophelia and Hamlet Both got tregic and terrible end .
∆ Does screening of movie help you in better understanding for the play ?
Yes , absolutely the movie screening help me a lot to better understanding for the play . Through the movie we understand situations and emotion of Characters in the batter way through their emotion and dilogues . And through the movie I understand all the characters better way .
∆ was there any particular scene or moment in the movie that you will cherish life time ?
Yes there are some of certain scenes of the movie cherish me lifetime . There are many scenes which are still floating in front of my eyes like , ghost of king Hamlet , Hamlet's split personality , Ophelia's poetry in madness , grave digging scene , and also Hamlet's death scene . And I would cherish those dilogues like ,
" To be or not to be that is question "
" Madness is great one's should not be passes unnoticed "
∆ If you director , what changes would you like to make in the remaking of the movie on Shakespeare's " Hamlet " ?
Kenneth Branagh's movie is well directed there are much need to changes . If I am director , In the movie I would like to shown Hamlet as a young prince , and also in the movie we find that the character of Ophelia is to weak , and poppet of the Hamlet and his father , and no one who care and understand her in the Kenneth Branagh's movie . I would like to present her role become stronger and powerful and also heroin of the movie .
∆ In the beginning of the movie , camera rolls over the statue of the king Hamlet out side the Elsinore Castel . The movie end with the similar sequence wherein the statue of King Hamlet is hammered down to the dust what sort of symbolism do you reading this ?
Through the symbolism creator tries to show the thing which we can not express the word . The play open with name of Hamlet on the wall of the castle of Elsinore and at the ends broken of statue . And the fall down of statue symbolized end of everything , and dynasty of the king Hamlet . At the end after death nothing remains , like pride , rule all the thing destroyed with the cycle of immortal time on the mortal things .
∆ While studying the play through the movie , which approach do you find more applicable to be the play ? Why ? Give reason with illustration .
In the movie we find there are many approaches applicable like ,
°
The phychological approach
°The philosophical approach
The studying of the play I found the phychological approach is applicable on the play . In the play we find that Hamlet was the university scholar and sharp minded , and Hamlet is avenges his father's murder as quickly as practicable , Shakespeare makes Claudius guilt as well as Hamlet's duty perfectly clear from the outset . And we can see that he driven by phychological approach . When Claudius alon while he was praying at that time great opportunity to kill Claudius but he didn't . At that time he think that if he kill Claudius while prayers time then his soul would go into the heaven and that is Hamlet never want .
" Play is mainly concerned with the hero's unavailing fight against what can only be called a disorderd mind "
THANK YOU......

Yes , In my point of view Kenneth Branagh's film Hamlet is the faithful version of the original play . In this movie we find some of changes . The play originally located in the 11 the century Denmark , and in this movie Kenneth Branagh choose Victorian era . And in this movie we find that Kenneth Branagh'' Hamlet fully presented with the each dilogues as it is original text .
