Hamlet

Overall im not a shakespeare fanatic, perhaps because it's so difficult to comprehend. I've seen romeo and juliet as a film before and the style is very similar to that of Hamlet's Film. Im still a little confused on what exactly was going on in the hamlet film because at the same time your trying to understand or translate what the character is saying and put it together with the image or scene your viewing at the moment. The good thing about watching a shakespeare film versus reading it is that the images help you sort of put a story together of what is happening. I read on the main class page that you said, the film used various forms of communication through out such as, email, fax etc. I didn't notice that until you mentioned it and it is interesting. One of the scenes that stuck through my head was the scene where Ophelia was in the bathroom and she begins to burn the pictures and then the flames turn into another scene of the film. Also the images and quotes being said through the fisher price machine was captivating. I hope that we can discuss the film more in detail :)
