Hamlet Play Vs Hamlet movie
Not always we like what we see. Every time we read a book we imagine it different from another person. Writers from movies like to interpretate their vision in their own way. In Hamlet we can see a lot of things different from the movie and from the play. For example in the beginning of the play two guards are seeing the ghost and they call Horatio to witness this, but in the movie it starts with the funeral of Hamlet’s father and Hamlet present. When we all know he wasn’t present in the play when his father was buried. Other thing that caught my attention was the dead of Ophellia that wasn’t very clear in the movie. No matter how exact they want to make a movie from a book, always their going to change some things to make it shorter. In the movie they change the location when Hamlet says those famous words “To be or Not to be”, from his room to his father tumb, and he was to this before he talks to Ophellia not after. Another thing that they change is how Pollonius finds out about Hamlet’s behavior, in the play Ophellia tells his father and in the movie Pollonius finds out alone. When hamlet was send to execution they didn’t show the death of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and Hamlet talking to Fortinbras. Any of these changes doesn’t change the meaning of the play that it wants to show us, but it makes it more difficult for us to admire a great piece of art. Instead in the play we can imagine as we read every aspect that the author write for us, that’s why I hate when they destroy a piece of art, because your insulting his author.
