I agree with Hamlet in not killing Claudius. He wants his uncle to go to hell and not just go to heaven. He also, wants his uncle to work off his sins like his father. It would of been a easy kill then and maybe it wouldn't cause another death. Hopefull Hamlet can kill his uncle before he tries to kill him and sents him to England.
Claudius is gulity it is shown by the way he reacted to the play. In all the movies Claudius face looks scared and gulity all over it. When he stands up before the play ends and ask for lights. Why does he need lights? Is he scared of the dark?(the murder he committed) Claudius wasjealous of his brother and thought his brother was blocking his path from being great.

To be or not to be
One of the most famous speech in history "to be or not to be". Hamlet is trying to figure out wether to be alive or dead. Almereyda's Hamlet was very intesting when he was walking in blockbusters instead being inside his castle. I like how at first he is talking in his head not just talking out loud like every other director, when he starts talking out loud it changes the mood. As he is walking you can see on the TV screens that something is wrong since in the screens there were explosions.
William shakespear's play really shouldnt be mordernize. Most plays are oringally the best when it is actted the way it suppose to be. This scene is the most important scene in my opinion either the plays ends or is just staring. The best verison i say is Branaugh's Hamlet because it looks and shows that he is taking to himself. At one point he pulls out a dagger and looks like he is about to kill himself.

The First scene
In Ms. Mergott's class we started to read a book that was read though the ages.The book was Halmet by William Shakespeare it is very famous. We had saw three verisons of Halmet movies which were all amazing. As a class we could see how different each and every director protraded the movie with the way they thought it happen. My personal favorite was the Third Version Director: (Michael) Almereyda Hamlet: (Ethan) Hawke. The third verison ghost scene was amazing to me. The way they have symbols to show that Halmet's father was in purgatory. The fireplace showed hell and how its evil. Ethan Hawke played Halmet very well, the way he showed his emotions and the way he was scared and couldn't believe that his father was in front of his eyes. The director chose another way to show how the father soul was. I liked how he was covering the ear that his brother posioned him in and also, how he grabbed his son not just stayed in front on him.
