Something is rotten in the state of BHS

After watching the 3 different versions of Hamlet, I have decided that Branagh's version because it stays more true to the text. Branagh does a great job of introducing an eerie mood as the story begins. He uses bells to signal midnight and emphasize the eeire mood created by the setting. I also liked how Branagh emphasizes Hamlets grief by his dark clothes in contrast with everyone else's colorful wardrobe, and having him on a departs isolated place while everyone celebrates the wedding. Also I like how Branagh stays true to the text.
