      Love and hate is our life

      "Hamlet" uses tragedy to tell about life and philosophy, about the love and hatred between people.
      1. Complex love and hatred focus on one person. When the mind is fascinated by hatred, it will eventually bring what we really love like death and ashes, and let life truly dissipate.
      2. Only a three-dimensional life philosophy art work can understand why Shakespeare's works can cross national borders, which is full of energy thought and philosophy.
      ~~~The first time I wrote about...

      Hate makes love dissipate

      Written on November 4, 2021 Foreign Literature Class.

      I have read the original script of "Hamlet", and I have also watched the new-style drama that has been adapted and presented on the stage, but this is the first time I have seen the movie. Since it's about writing after watching, let's talk about the movies you enjoyed in class! The film chose to directly start with the king's funeral. The gloomy weather and solemn occasions made the atmosphere feel depressing and laid the tragic...

      There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, tell me what I see in my eyes

      Also known as the Prince's Revenge, to be honest, the long classics are really not suitable for making movies, and they have almost become running accounts.

      At the beginning, it was the funeral of the old king, and the younger brother from abroad was enthroned. It's weird, shouldn't it be the eldest son succeeding? The eldest son is hamlet, just called H for short. The younger brother not only ascended the throne, but also integrated a foreign wife. This is really more...

      Hamlet movie review

      "Hamlet" is the representative work of Shakespeare's tragedy. The ideological content has reached an unprecedented depth and breadth, profoundly revealing the evil and essential characteristics of the society at the end of the feudal period. In terms of the inner performance of the characters, "Hamlet" is the most confusing, or the most philosophical. "Hamlet", also known as "The Prince's Revenge", mainly tells the story of a prince fighting his uncle in order to avenge his dead...

      [The road of revenge is a challenge to new ideas]


      If it can endure the erosion of the years, it can withstand the imaginary changes in literature, it can bear the splendid cultural praise, and it can bear the praise and learning of the world. Shakespeare, the master of literature and art in the Renaissance, used his plays to prove to the world that excellent literary works are indeed true.

      As one of Shakespeare's excellent "four tragedies", "Hamlet" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and brings glory to the literary...

      It is said that Shakespeare only had more than 20,000 English words in his time and his vocabulary was as high as 20,000. There really is no one else but Shakespeare who has mastered almost all the vocabulary of his own time and can use them so masterfully. The film respects the original book very much, although I haven't seen other versions and can't compare, but I always feel that gibson's role in hamlet is not so good, but Ophelia is really beautiful! Helena has become a total freak after...

      The form is very close to the original version and the stage performance, a feeling of "as it should be". But it's a bit rough on the plot. Hamlet is not heroic, Helena is so tender and does a good...

    Movie plot

    When Prince Hamlet of Denmark was bereaved by his father, his uncle immediately succeeded to the throne and married his mother as his wife, which made him deeply ashamed and resentful. One night, he met the ghost of his father and complained that the uncle had poisoned his brother in order to usurp the throne and marry his sister-in-law. In order to avenge his father, he pretended to be crazy to avoid the surveillance of the uncle, and...
