Hamlet

My Views About "Hamlet" Novel..

  First i would like to share something about "Hamlet" play by William Shakespeare and as a movie by Dir. Kenneth Branagh. Both are performed very well to describe whole part of Hamlet as a movie and play. Sir.. Here first i would like to discuss something about one question that IS HAMLET ARTISTIC FAILURE? My Answer is that may be but not sure.. because from the all situation Hamlet faces in his mental disturbance, and i dont remember but one scene the shadow of doubt and many other scene.. if we research all thing than we know that "Hamlet" is an artistic failure has no validity sometime its performed just like as a object.. Inshort it is truely mysterious and tragic play.

Now Here I am try to giving proper answers of post-viewing task.

(1) Movie is totally faithful to the original play. If we compare movie and novel than honestly saying that Kenneth Branagh describe most of all thing much same and very well direct by him. Branagh also added his own idea, thought and his creativity like mirror scene and Ophelia with a key-  this scene is very short but very meaning full. so all those scenes are Branagh's wonderful addition. Watching movie screening its really help us to understand original novel and this things describe that the movie is fully faithful to the original play.

(2) After watching the movie my views totally changed because in some cases i thought that Hamlet is not too good person but after watching i felt that Hamlet also suffer alot from some situation and its tragic turn that At starting Hamlet lives in illusion that his father is lives in somewhere. Hamlet is in dark and that time we see the USE OF METAPHORICAL IMAGE IN LANGUAGE when Hamlet says that " I AM IN SUN.. " Hamlet's struggle most of his own self. I like one thing that at the starting of movie Branagh introduce minor character just like as POLITICAL PLOT.

(3) Next about Aesthetic delight- Yes while watching movie i feel aesthetic delight when Claudius murdered by Hamlet that time i feel really happy. Sometime Hamlet's madness and his expression gives delight.

(4) About Catharsis- Catharsis like PITY AND FEAR.. Yes, i felt catharsis while watching movie.. I like to discuss one scene its fully tragic scene when Hamlet follow the ghost of his father and than start conversation between Hamlet and Ghost of his father. Father says that " THUS WAS I SLEEPING BY MY BROTHER.. BLOSSOMED OF MY SIN..! " and than suddenly Hamlet starts crying and says that " IT IS ADEA, ADEA REMEMBER ME..!.. and when ophelia's father death she feels very alone. Her situation cannot be able to describe in words. Than Ophelia, Hamlet and death of other charcter's. While and after watching movie all those things gives Catharsis.

(5)Yes totally.. screening of movie truly help me to understand original play. Honestly saying that before watching movie i dnt know much more about original play bt after study of play and movie screening help me alot to understand the play.

(6) Relation between daughter and father ( between Ophelia and her father )i will cherish it life time. Friendship between Horatio and Hamlet. and yes Ophelia's endless love and trust for Hamlet.. All moments are really beautiful.

(7)If i am director first i would like to change in the end of the scene of movie its very tragic because all characters died. Its also a revenge play and Hamlet wants to take revenge so the death of Claudius its ok. and In my movie Ophelia and Hamlet never dies and i try to put something different.
Thus
I would like to say that "Hamlet"- As a play it's very well written by William Shakespear and As a Movie " Hamlet " also best direct by Kenneth Branagh..

Thank you..
