1st Hamlet entry

      All three versions of Hamlet are well explained and clear.  They get the point across, but in several different ways.  My favorite version is Franco Zeffirelli's because i feel that the emotions, setting, and characters all play into the perfect role.  Mel Gibson plays Hamlet very well.  In the other versions the setting just doesn't seem right.  When Hamlet and his father met on top of the castle i felt that it is appropriate because that is their home.  His father ran the castle, so showing his ghost at the catsle shows that he is still in power even though he is gone.
      I enjoyed the movies made by the directors, but if I were to make it I would change it up.  When Hamlet meets his father i would make the father seem more spiritual and ghostly.  I'd make him  the same way as when he were alive, but floating and have a deadly look on his face so you know that his death was brutal.  Also i feel that the auidance should have a better idea of their relationship so i would put more detail in the scene about their past.  I am looking foward to the novel and can't wait to see what happens to Hamlet and his uncle
