      To Hentai Shakespeare

      Looking at Hamlet, I think of these motifs from Shakespeare. He has written down almost all the things that people in the world can do. The so-called "there is nothing new under the sun" should have started with him. Killing the brother and taking the sister-in-law, and the son taking revenge, think about the history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries. Parents are always partial to children who can be human, wives always push their husbands to seize power, there are also...

      Amorous should laugh at me

      1.
      Mother's smile bloomed under the gaze of the man with the crown on his head. They held hands and ran happily to the future behind the door. The person behind, wearing his or her or its mask, with his or her or its purpose, telling his or her or its lies.
      The door slammed shut.
      The petals fall, with a joyful aftertaste. The sunlight is refracted at a soft angle.
      Sad as me, lonely as me, standing in the quiet black.

                             2. The
      vast world is...

      The weak and suspicious avenger

      Many remarks say that Hamlet has transformed from a simple child to a strong avenger, but I don’t think so. I think Hamlet is always weak. He has only changed from a weak and innocent child to a weak and suspicious avenger until his death, including the successful duel of the final revenge. It was Leati arranged for his father’s revenge, not Hamlet. Voluntarily requested. The environment in which he grew up had to make him strong. This is not really strong. This is a skill that he has to...

      "Hamlet"

      When CHERY left, the last memorial given by my friend was "Hamlet" translated by Zhu Shenghao. "Hamlet" is about hate, and only when it has to do with life is hate the ultimate. If you don't have a deep experience, how can you understand the endless love and hate sentiment? Even if it's just self-sorrow and self-pity, even if it's just a sea of ​​despair, and the sorrow is bleak, it can be regarded as a mutual comfort between the author and the reader.

      In order to...

    Positive reviews

    The costumes of the actors in the film are modern and gorgeous, and the scenes and lines are basically unchanged, which successfully reproduces Shakespeare's original work. The interior and exterior design of the film maintains the 19th-century Scandinavian neoclassical style. The background color is the solemn winter and white snow. It seems that crimes and conspiracies are hidden under the clean exterior, which also pave the way for...

    Movie quotes

    • Hamlet: But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.

    • Hamlet: To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them.

    • Hamlet: I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed, it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire! Why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties! In form and moving, how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?
