HAMLET (2000)
William Shakespeare play Hamlet is very well known. In an effective movie too. Shakespeare's plays are very appreciated even today. Compare, the movie and the play they are very similar. however there are a few differences between the movie and the play. In the beginning of the movie Hamlets soliloquies is in the camera but in the book his soliloquies on the side. In there are a few differences about each of these characters, the plot and the scenes.
There are a few differnce about each of these characters. Hamlet in the book is rough and mad. In the movie he was not as rough. He is a lot gentle in the movie. His emotional expressions are different. Hamlet is mad because of his dad's death and his mom getting married to his uncle. He knows his uncle killed his father so he wants to get revenge. Ophelia on the other had doesn't show that she agrees with her father Polonius in the movie. Ophelia doesn't want to do whatever her father says. She doesn't spy on Hamlet. Hamlet had a more affect on Ophelia. She is not as loyal to the king and queen unlike the book. Ophelia goes crazy after her fathers death and then drowns herself. Claudius's reactions are different. Claudius hates Hamlet. He doesn't verbally do it a lot but physically in the movie he hits Hamlet. After Claudius finds out that Hamlet killed Polonius, Claudius and Leartes plan to do something to Hamlet. After Polonius's death Ophelia goes crazy and drowns herself. Claudius sends Hamlet away and sends Hamlets friends to spy on him. The major characters in this book were Hamlet, Claudius, Ophelia, Queen, Polonius, and Leartes.
In the plot the ghost was Hamlets father after the his death when King Cludius killed him by poisioning him. The queen got remarried to her brither-in-law. Hamlet was depressed, mad and angry that his mom got remarried to his uncle. He seen how much his mom loved his dad and was upset. hamlet loved a girl named Ophelia and then after a while was just using her. Over all Hamlet was seeking revenge to make his uncle say that he poisioned his father.
In the original play and the movie there were many changes. In the movie Hamlet opens up with a soliloquies in the camera but in the original play in goes on the side. Also it opens with the guard seeing the ghost in the play. In the movie it doesn't open up with the ghost. Also the ghost shows up on Hamlets balcony with Hamlet all by himself. The opening scene is a flash back. In the movie there were a lot of changes like: The ghost was walking around and he hugs hamlet. The emotions are different. Polonius walks on Hamlet and Ophelia. Also it shows how Ophelia doesn't get along with her father Polonius. Hamlet shows a play how his uncle Claudius poisoned Hamlet's father. Hamlet had a chance to kill Claudius and get revenge when Hamlet was driving Claudius in the limo but in the play hamlet didn't kill his uncle Claudius because it says that he was praying and Hamlet didn't want him to go to heaven because he was praying.It appears that Hamlet in the movie loved and respected Ophelia. Everyone knew that Hamlet killed Polonius but in the play they said that Claudius killed him. It appears that Hamlet loves and respects Ophelia. Ophelia killed herself in the water after her fathers death. Hamlet is a different deminer than in the play he had more respect. King Claudius and Leartes had planned to do something with Hamlet. The queen gets poioned because she drinks the poision that Claudius and Leartes had planned to poision Hamlet. They poisioned the tip of the sword and the drink that the Queen drank. Hamlet was viloent to his mom in the scene that he killed Polonius. There were many changes in the play and in the movie.
