To be or not to be...

It seems like in all the to be or not to be speeches in each movie they're all set in a pretty melancholy mood. the thoughts of suicide and wondering what the meaning of life is are shown in the knife prop used in most of the plays and movies given. The knife prop kind of shows how easy it is to kill or be killed and it makes you wonder "why live if your life can be taken in a simple action or motion?" Overall with the setting for each Hamlet was having somewhat of a nervous breakdown and a misunderstanding of the world and what it has to offer and what it takes away

Analysis of Hamlet

The actors for each movie portrayed the gloomy character hamlet in all different ways. the first video portrayed Hamlet being full of spite but very melancholy. in the scene with his father when his fathers ghost disappeared he went into a fit of rage and despair with eery music playing. in the second video he was more antsy and frantic about the subject but had a better resolve and understanding of what his fathers ghost told him. In the third video where it was modernized Hamlet said nothing and only began to cry as he watched his father disappear.

the music in each one was different too. the music in the first and last video were pretty solemn and mellow as if to portray how sad the tragedy of his fathers death is. the first one was more eerie. the second was action packed and orchestratal and it portrayed the action and emotion in Hamlet more than the other two video's. the lighting played a huge role too. the first video was dark and mysterious while the second was ominous and full of explosions. the third being modernized was kind of just plain room lighting.

the third video had one of the best visual elements with the father dabbing his ear. the second showed the father more of a specter and a ghostly figure surrounded by breaking earth and mass explosions portraying the anger and resentment. the second video also had a very colorful, visual flashback of what happened to Hamlets father. the first video didn't have much to offer prop wise because the acting was so spot on as it was.
