Favorite Film Version

My favourite version of the Hamlet films, is the nintenth century Ken Branagh version. This film is more accurate to the play because it has similar lines and follows the scenes closely to the ones in the play. The actors are more suiting to their descriptions such as having a much younger Hamlet, that fits my personal description of the character. Unlike the Zefferelli and Almereyda versions, this one expresses more drama in the dialogue such as how Hamlet expresses his emotions profoundly and Ophelia's sorrow when she saw him pale and disheveled. Alot of the camera angles were shot from far away, making the viewer aware of Hamlet's lonesomeness at scenes of his soliloquys. In this version Hamlet is mainly dressed in black expressing his depression to the viewers; at his mother's wedding while everyone else is dressed in bright colours expressing their joy of the new engagement. I prefer this version of Hamlet the best because it seems more real and understandable making me aware of the character's dialogue through their dramatic roles and engaging my interest as well!
