Ghost Scene

                  The Zeffirelli  version was more emotional in terms of how Mel Gibson expressed his language and emotion. The way the moonlight shined in his area showing darkness and the grief that the scene brought. Gibson's tone in his voice seemed as if he was very frightened. His facial expression also showed how he reacted to seeing the ghost. As the ghost tells Hamlet about his uncle his emotion stays the same, which shows that he was already in a stunned surprised mode. Hamlet tries to reach out to the ghost but it is too late and he goes mad. In the Branagh version the ghostly spirit is more of what a ghost seems like. In Zeffirelli version the ghost is calm and talks to HAmlet in this low voice but in Branagh's version the ghost is angered and seems more frightening. The emotions on Hamlets face show you that he was more frightened then shocked by the ghost. The third version by Almereyda was a bit more modern day and had very low voices in this one with no back round music or anything. It was an emotional scene as Hamlet's face shows that he was in shock.
