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.

That was exactly my problem with Hamlet, both the character and the play.
I know a lot of scholars admire Hamlet and see him as some kind of early 'alienated intellectual'. But he just made me roll my eyes. The whole time I was reading that play I was mentally screaming: "C'mon mate, just make a friggin' decision"!
