Commentary In Favor Of 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.

Formerly a member of the Royal Shakespearean Company, actor/director Kenneth Branagh confesses that he has been intrigued and in some ways obsessed by Hamlet from early on in his life, early teens and before. That intense devotion-bordering-on-obsession serves this book well, as well as it's movie counterpart. Both the introduction and the film diary give excellent insights into not just how the movie was made, but the play itself, and how things that we don't notice--for example, what a goodWhen 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
I enjoyed reading "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare, because it was different than most stories you would read today. In "Hamlet" the prince of Denmark, Young Hamlet struggles to handle the changes in his life. His father, the late king Hamlet, dies. Shortly after his mother remarries his uncle instead of him taking the throne. Hamlet's anger towards his mother and uncle grew after his father came to him in a ghost form and told him he was murdered by his new step dad. Hamlet promises to revenge
Whoa! They aren't kidding...what a tragedy. Definitely watch this movie when you are done (the one with Mel Gibson in it) he does such a great job playing Hamlet. I really enjoyed reading this play.
Hamlet by William Shakespeare:I thought that the story was rather ponderous. I echoed Hamlet's sentiment that he should do something instead of whining about his misery, but then he keeps up a ponderous scharade in front of his uncle and exhibits more and more crazy ebhavior instead of avenging his father. Young Hamlet just keeps causing trouble for everyone, and the misogyny directed at Ophelia, who never stands up for herself, is depressing. Overall, a ponderous and depressing story with much
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!
