SQUUEEEEEE!!!

Watched Acts 4 & 5 of Hamlet over late morning & lunch.

I love this movie.

This will be on my list as soon as the DVD is released.



I loved the scene over Ophelia's grave. I love the pretty eyes of the guy who plays Fortinbras whose name I can never remember. I loved the acting of the man who played Laertes. I loved Robin Williams as the smarmy & overexcited courtier. I loved this whole thing. What a pretty film.

Also, I really like this play. So, so much better than King Lear.


Also, a quix. Gacked from...er.... someone.

Kenneth Branaugh is fantastic, Emma Thompson was an idiot for leaving him. Although I enjoy his Shakespearan commedies better (Much Ado About Nothing etc), he does well with the tragedies (Hamlet, Othello). Though I highly recommend Henry V. I must have seen it well over a dozen times.

Oh, about King Lear, hehe, if you don't mind Japanese films, there is a great take on that story. It's called Ran by the famed and late director Akira Kurosawa. One of my fave top ten films bar none. I definitely enjoyed this rendition of the Shakespearan play so much more than the actual play its self.
