My view about the movie "Hamlet" by kenneth Branagh
I Really enjoyed the movie of "Hamlet".it is great tragedy of that time and its give aesthetic delight while watching the movie.
1) How faithful is the movie to the original play ?
Ans: We are watching a movie,it is very faithful than an original play.The movie is more visualized than the original play. In the movie the character, scene and plot very beautiful portrayed and it is very well expresses the insecurity and aggressive behavior of the hamlet.
2) After watching the movie, have your perception about play, characters or situations changed ?
Ans: We are watching a movie , it is very well present the scene,plot,setting,situation of the play.In the movie we are slip down one scene to another scene at the starting, all are celebrating the function at the another side hamlet saw a ghost at the begging the claudius is introducing our feeling towards his wife at the time he going to flash back and he is saw a letter to the public and said that how the king hamlet is handover whole business to me.
3) Do you feel 'aesthetic delight ' while watching the movie? if yes, exactly when did it happen? if no, can you explain with reasons?
Ans: Yes,I am feel 'aesthetic delight' when watching this movie at the begging horatio and hamlet talking about it is not right that claudius become king of denmark. the horatio said that I know your father at the time the hamlet see a ghost. he is following the ghost and the said that 'I am spirit of your father'.Hamlet is see the father and he said hamlet that how claudius is poisoned my ear.
4) Do you feel 'catharsis' while or after watching movie? if yes, exactly when did it happen? if no, can you explain with reasons?
Ans: yes, I am feel 'catharsis' after when ophelia and hamlet are died.hamlet is not decided to take a revenge of his father so he is living very peaceful life.the hamlet take wrong decision to take revenge of his father and his error of judgement that he is doing such kind of think it is responsible of his downfall. at the end everyone praises hamlet but at the end the fortinbras soldiers is broken down the hamlet statue.
5) Does screening of movie help you in better understanding of the play ?
Ans: The movie is helps better understanding than the original play because it is gives wider knowledge than the original play.
6) Was there any particular scene or moment in the movie that you will cherish lifetime?
Ans: No,i don't think that there is any scene.
7) If you are director, what changes would you like to make in the remaking of movie on shakespeare's 'Hamlet' ?
Ans: If I am a director of the movie of hamlet that i am changing the begging and ending sequence because the soldiers is broken down the status of hamlet this moment is not right according to me because he is decided to take a revenge of his father and killed his uncle.
8) In the beginning of the movie, camera rolls over the status of king hamlet out side the Elsinore castle.The movie ends with the similar sequence wherein the status of the king hamlet is hammered down to the dust. what sort of symbolism do you read in this?
Ans: In the movie the begging and ending sequence are similar wherein the statue of the king hamlet hammered down to the dust. this is kenneth branagh's setting.here is suggesting that it is not king hamlet's ambition to avenge his death responsible for the downfall of his kingdom hamlet is not to revenge of his father. the hamlet desire is fulfil when he killed his uncle.
9) While studying the play through movie, which approach do you find more applicable to the play?why?give reasons with illustrations.
Ans: I think psychological approach is more applicable to the play. hamlet live a simple life before his father's death after his father death every time he think that why my mother marry with my uncle?and he saw ghost of his father and his father told him about his death so hamlet know ever think about his mother and his uncle,now hamlet decide to take revenge of his father's death.
10) Which of the above mentioned approaches(in pre-viewing task) appeals you more than other?why?give reasons.
Ans: I think that here is textual approach is more appropriate than the any other approaches in the pre-view task because one said that the text is best source of own study and text is give the knowledge about the character,writer,society and text is best source is evaluate the work.so I am said that textual approach is more appropriate than other approaches.
Thank you sir, to sharing wonderful movie of the "Hamlet".
