To Be or Not To Be
In the Sir Lawrence version there was very little emotion on Hamlets face. You could hear all of the thoughts going on in his head as he stood on the edge of the cliff with the knife in his hand. The waves below were crashing into the rocks and the background was very foggy and Hamlet seemed to have a low voice the whole time. In the Gibson version Hamlet is in the Catacombs where it's quiet and there's and Echo of footsteps and wind. He walks around the Catacombs talking out loud about death, he even prays and looks up at maybe the gods. His voice gets louder almost as if he is frustrated. In the Catacombs there were very little light so it was dark. In the Branagh version the room was full of light and mirrors. He was walking slow up to the mirror and had the knife at hand as if he was looking at an enemy in the mirror not himself. Hamlet had a very low voice as well when approaching the mirror. In the last version he looks very lost doesn't know where to go or what to do. He talks very low and the movie The Crow comes on which is ironic about death.
