Ok, Kenneth Branagh? Looking good with the nakedness.
I'd only read about a third of this play so far in and of itself, so I've been reading along with it as the movie goes. The movie seems to be word for word perfect so far, except for a weird voice-over monologue that Hemlet did while running through the bog to find his father's ghost. That monologue must have been cut and pasted from another part of the play, or left out of my book (Folger Library) entirely.
I've decided to make an icon of this love poem from Hamlet to Ophelia:
Doubt thou the star are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love.
Impending tragedy aside, this will make a wonderful Spuffy icon.

Re:
In the context of the play as a whoole... I've got no idea. I don't actually think you can relate either character to Hamlet himself very well. Maybe another shakespeare character[s] instead?

Quite right.

Yeah, I agree that Hamlet in general doesn't work for Spuffy - I just like questions like that. I can't really think of a Shakespeare play that does work, but now I want to play, so I'll muse on it some more. The Gunn/Fred/Wesley Othello parallel from AtS a couple weeks ago was obvious, but still enjoyable. Connections are yummy.
Re:
It was all about Psyche betraying Cupid's trust (remember, with the "don't look at me at night" thing, and the candlewax) and then having to endure numerous tests to win back love, much the way that Spike had to endure his own trials, get his soul, and endure torture to be worthy of Buffy's affection again.
