Ghost Scene.

    In the first ghost scene of the first movie we watched, the actors were shown to be very dramatic. The character of Hamlet was played by Mel Gibson and was directed by Franco Zeffirelli. This was an interesting version because of a familiar actor such as Mel Gibson, which brought my understanding and attraction of the scene a little more. The music and setting also came to my attention because it was in a much older time period. That is what truly portrays the act of the characters.

    The second version, however, was way more intense and broad than the first. The character of Hamlet and director of the play was Kenneth Branagh. This version seemed to be the most outstanding because of the tradition of the play. By that, I meant the structure, setting, and music in the scene. This one had the most interpretation of Shakespeare's time.

     The third version, directed by Michael Almereyda and plays the part of Hamlet by Ethan Hawke, definitely did not even get my attention.  It didn't make any sense to me how they made it modern but still chose to use the old english.  It just didn't fit well together and made it harder to understand what is actually going on throughout the scene. Overall, they barely had any interpretation of Shakespeare's time.
