About movie screening of Hamlet, I am giving my answers of post view task.
In the movie Kenneth Branagh tries to include real play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. In the original play some scenes are not shown in the play. Kenneth Branagh includes some extra scenes which are not found in the original play by Shakespeare. In the play Shakespeare has not shown death, love, and quarrel scenes beautifully. In the Kenneth Branagh’s movie death, love, quarrel scenes are shown beautifully. I think play and movie both are similar.
Yes, after watching the movie our perception about play, characters or situations changes. Before watching movie we think that in the movie Hamlet is good person. When we read the original play we imagine the whole play. We imagine all the sequences of the play. We create characters or situations of the play through our own imagination.
Yes I feel ‘aesthetic delight’ watching the movie. When I saw the end of the movie Hamlet killing his uncle and he taking revenge. I know that in the end of the movie Hamlet also died but I got satisfaction that he fulfilled his promise.
Yes I feel catharsis while watching movie. It happen when Polonius read the letter by Ophelia. She doesn’t want to read letter but her father forcefully made her read the letter. When Ophelia goes completely mad and sing a song with his brother. His brother wants to talk with her but she only sings a song.
Yes of course movie helps to better understating of the play because if we read play, story etc. we create our imagination and believe that we understand it. When we see movie, we understand the play easily. I think watching any other movie or TV show destroy our imagination power because in the movie or T.V. show they are readily presented and we can’t imagine on our own.
Yes I think one particular scene in the movie that was when the movie is beginning ghost scene and the end of the movie Hamlet‘s broken statue scene are some scenes in the movie that I will cherish lifetime.
If I am director of the movie first of all I will make a movie within limited time. I make a movie only of 3 hours. Kenneth Branagh’s movie was very long. In the movie I would remove talkative part. I will include main conversation between characters. Thank you.
