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.

I agree that using the exact text is great, however in this version I did not like how the beginning was thought of. I was very confused. Also, this version was wayto coloful for a Hamlet movie.
