Hello readers
How faithfulis the movie to the original play ?
In Kenneth Brenagh's movie we find that good camera work. In the opening and ending scene symbolised alot about moral message. In opening scene we find that statue of the king Hamlet. It shows great empire of Denmark. And in last we see that similar sequence where the statue of King Hamlet is hammered down to the dust. This ending scene symbolised many things like that.
- Great empire broke down because of the revenge.
- Because fortinbras become king
- King Hamlet 's vision to take revenge is not good.
I think Moral and philosophical approach is more applicable to this play. Other approaches also appliable but this one is more appropriate. This approach more appropriate because Hamlet, main character of the play feel moraly down. He was the student of philosophy that's why every situation he applied his philosophical view.
Thank you.....
Welcome to my blog. This thinking activity is given by Dr Dilip barad sir. We watched Hamlet's movie at English department, M. K. Bhavnagar university. Many diractor make movie on Shakespeare's Hamlet. This movie is diracted by Kenneth brenagh, also who had played a lead role of Hamlet. Kenneth brenagh was known for this type of literary movies.
- " Post- viewing task" :
How faithfulis the movie to the original play ?
I think Kenneth Brenagh's Hamlet is totally faithful with Shekaspeare's Hamlet. Each and every scene , dialogue and character we find in Brenagh's Hamlet related to original text. Hamlet is the great play by Shakespeare, that's why many director make film on this text. Many director are cutting the scene,and sometimes not followed same dialogue pattern as make by author. In movie some of the character not speak as much as dialogue that written by author,so that's why Character loose their charm. But in Kenneth Brenagh's Hamlet we find that every character and scene as in original text, totally related to Shakespeare 's Hamlet.
After watching the movie have your perseption about play, characters or situation changed ?
We read the book and after watching the movie that gives us better understanding of the text. After watching Hamlet movie my perseption was changed about some of the situation and character. Before watching the movie ,I am not clear about some situation and character, what is exactly going on character's mind. Specially Gertrude's character many dialogue, I can not understand clearly so watching movie is worthful for me. After watching the movie all misconception about text, is clear.
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. Beginning of the movie we see the huge statue of King Hamlet and welath of Denmark give us aesthetic delight.
Do you feel 'catharsis' while or after watching movie ? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no , can you explain with reason ?
Yes , I feel catharsis while watching the movie . In Kenneth Brenagh's Hamlet we feel Catharsis in many scene and situation. Many scene is there but I mostly effect by scene of Ophelia's madness.
This picture shows wealth of Denmark. In the scene play within the play ,I feel aesthetic delight. Which way Hamlet guide them, Hamlet's intention is clear to watch Claudius expression . In this scene people of Denmark enjoyed a lot.
Yes , I feel catharsis while watching the movie . In Kenneth Brenagh's Hamlet we feel Catharsis in many scene and situation. Many scene is there but I mostly effect by scene of Ophelia's madness.
When we look for Ophelia's character ,I feel pity for her. She is very beautiful lady with good and kind heart. She loves Hamlet, there is no fault of her. Hamlet's behaviour towards Ophelia is changed ,he talk with cruelly. In the nuneri scene we find that situation.
Does screening of movie help you to better understanding of the play ?
Watching the movie help us to better nnderstanding to the original text. Reading of the book gives us information. But we see the movie then and then we understand the background of the ara , what is going on in background that all the things we understand here. In watching movie we understand clearly what is the play.
Was there any particular scene or moment in the movie that you cheroch lifetime ?
The last scene of movie , when main character fight with each other this scene is cherished me. Because there is situation like ' બેના ઝગડામાં ત્રીજો ફાવે' . There is a situation like this proverb, clodiuse and Hamlet fight with each other and kill by one other. That's fight help to fortinbras. Without any affart who won the kingdom. That scene through we get message. That scene cherished me a lot.
If you are director what changes would you like to make in the remaking of movie on Shakespeare's Hamlet ?
This movie is directed by famous director Kenneth Brenagh who was the famous director. If I directed this movie then I would like to change the some of the part.
In the last we find that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are death. In one sentence we find this news ,no one who care about those two characters. I would like to shows his death in movie. Because that two chatachar represent the middle class people.

In the beginning of the movie camera roll over the statue of the king Hamlet outside the Elsinore castle. The movie ends with the similar sequence where in the statue of the king Hamlet is hammered down to the dust. What sort of symbolism do you read in this ?

While studying the play through movie ,which approach do you find more appliable to play ? Why? Give reason with illustration.
I think Moral and philosophical approach is more applicable to this play. Other approaches also appliable but this one is more appropriate. This approach more appropriate because Hamlet, main character of the play feel moraly down. He was the student of philosophy that's why every situation he applied his philosophical view.
