During class, we watched several different versions of Hamlet of act I scene 2.
The ones that really popped up to me were the one with Mel Gibson and the one with Kenneth Branagh. All the directors like to put their own signature in the movie they direct. You can see by comparing those two movies. In the Mel Gibson version, the scene happens in a closed room where the only people present are king Claudius, Queen Gertrude, and Hamlet. After the king gives his speech to Hamlet. His mother speaks to him amd shows a little flirty relationship. In Kenneth Kang's version, it is the same dialogue except I'm a different order. The relationship between the mother and the Hamlet is much more formal and the conversation is much more public since it took place in a room full of people.
