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 possess for revenge, like a high-rise building cast under unstable foundations.

Hamlet is lonely, and there is no one by his side who can be trusted to rely on. Uncle killed her father to usurp the throne; mother's betrayal of his father; his good friend Rosenkran betrayed himself; the beloved girl Ophelia had nothing but promises to her father. He doesn't believe in family, friendship, or love, and Hamlet is suspicious and dissatisfied with his own world.

Shakespeare himself said that there are a thousand Hamlet in a thousand people's hearts, so everyone can look at this story according to their different experiences, and the same thing is that everyone will have a painful process of transformation like Hamlet.

    The film is lavish and colorful, using many single long takes to combine scenes, and therefore is actually quite briskly paced. The stars are shining.

    #SIFF2016# Nijue's ability to grasp the language of the film lens is beyond Olivier's, and he has exerted his consistent characteristics that the grasp of the atmosphere of Shakespeare's story has never been a time-and-space transfer of eyeballs, but a perfect combination of classical and modern It is in line with modern aesthetics and respects the original double-sided mirror to the greatest extent. The use of double-sided mirrors is a miracle. It is a pity that the positioning of Hamlet's character is too throbbing and manic, lacking hesitation and contemplation.

Hamlet quotes

  • Polonius: This above all - to thine own self be true/ And it must follow as the night the day/ Thou canst not then be false to any man.

  • Claudius: When sorrows come, they come not single spies but in battalions.
