The Ghost Scene

The first ghost scene was very dramatic. The music also added a dramatic touch as it set a serious mood. My least favorite out of the bunch was Almereyda's. The way the director tried to modernize the story took away from the oraginality. Also, I did not like the way he tried to modernize the play but yet again tried to use the old language used in the original Hamlet.
  My interpretation of the story Hamlet revolves around pride and power. Even so, the Zeff ghost scene seems a little more toned down. The mood is still a little eery, but not as scary as Branagh's. The director focuses more on the actual arrival of the ghost, which makes more of an emotional impact. Even though I like Mel Gibson as an actor, the version with him in it may be the least appealing. I think there is a tie between Branagh version and Almereyda version. I reccomend these two. These two films are more enjoyable to viewers, and it displays Hamlet better.
   The last movie is very different from the first two.  The last movie is in more of a modern time.  Though the setting is different, the actors are almost similarly dramatic to the second movie.  The scene isn't to dark or to light, it has very proper lighting for the moment.  There are no flashbacks and very little special effects, but they are really not needed.  Though, the actor has a napkin as a prop to clean his ear and emphasize that it has something to do with his death.
