Interpretation Conducive To Books Hamlet: Screenplay, Introduction And Film Diary

Often credited with creating a popular movie audience for Shakespeare, Kenneth Branagh has wanted for many years to bring to the screen the complete, full-length version of Hamlet, Shakespeare's greatest play. "The film, like the play, will have something for everyone," he says. "Its a ghost story, a thriller, an action-packed murder mystery, and a great tragedy that is profoundly moving." With an outstanding cast of international actors--including Derek Jacobi as Claudius, Julie Christie as Gertrude, Kate Winslet as Ophelia, Charlton Heston as the Player King, Robin Williams as Osric, and Gerard Depardieu as Reynaldo--Branagh's version, in which he will play the title role as well as direct, is sure to go down in film history. This beautiful volume includes Branagh's introduction and screenplay adaptation of Shakespeare's text, color and black-and-white stills, and a production diary that takes us behind the scenes for a day-to-day look at the shooting of his film.

Critique Regarding Books Hamlet: Screenplay, Introduction And Film Diary

This has always been a favorite of mine. I understand that people may either love or hate Shakespeare, however I am unable to comprehend the latter. Shakespeare's characters provide a deep psychology for the audience to grab on to. Although one may not neccessarily agree with a specific character's motives or ideals, he or she is absolutely able to now argue the character's mind set; you are in their mind and understand how they see the world. This is a literary vacation in my opinion; to be

When I read Hamlet during my seinor I was looking forward to it, to be honest I've never been a fan of Shakespeare, nothing personal but I've never enjoyed his work, and at the end of day I end up disagreeing with him (don't kill me shakespeare fans) but Hamlet look different, and it seemed interesting.It was, but I just didn't enjoy it as much. And to be honest, it hasn't changed my point of view on Shakespeare writing. Although I did find that the name Ophelia is a wonderful girl name, and I

Even though Branagh's film was pretty complete (with respect to the play), there are some differences, which are documented here. I rather love him, and this is a pretty neat book, with (always good) great shots from the filming and the film.

LOVED IT! Fav. shakespeare play by far. I really can't read shakespeare though, but I had help from my eng. teacher. It was so funny and serious at the same time so it kept my interest and the story was spectacular! ya for Hamlet!



Quite simply the greatest play ever written, in my opinion. While Branagh's film adaptation isn't my favorite, it's still very good and I generally love his take on the Bard.
