The movies we watched that were directed by Franco Zeferelli, Ken Branagh, and Mike Almeneyda, I like Zeferelli better. In Zeferelli’s film of Hamlet is not similar from the book but the way it is produced is very creative and envisioned. It started as of a very dark, gloomy, and murky scene. It captured a lot of very close up angels; everything from small details to wide angles. The black scenic view points out that it is happening on a depressing state of place. The setting sets off from a huge pack of army with metallic armored well suit. And then it takes the camera straight to a burial scene where King Hamlet sr. died and Queen Gertrude was crying and devastated. She then looked at Hamlet’s eyes with a passionate look. Hamlet is clearly seen as a very sad person who then walked away with grudge hanging his shoulder. He looked bummy and dark. I would’ve thought that Hamlet is going to be very sophisticated and fancy person but in this movie it was different. It may have not captured Hamlet but I like this version better because it seem interesting and its acting is great.
