My Response:


Respected sir,
             About movie screening of Hamlet, I am giving my answers of post view task.
             First of all thank you for movie screening of Hamlet. It was really very beautiful experience for me.
             The movie is very much faithful to the original play. Kenneth Branagh vary beautifully designed this movie. It seems that he was very near to Hamlet, while making of this movie. Though he adds his own idea, the play is not harmed. His originality makes the movie more enjoyable. He adds mirror scene in the movie, it gives more openness to audience. Then when Ophelia is tortured and she brings out a key from mouth. This scene is also Branagh’s beautiful addition. However he gives more vitality to the play by making this movie. He softly makes place for putting his originality in the movie. So he remains faithful to this play…because yet there are some minor changes we can find real Shakespeare while watching this movie.
           First I should confess that I didn’t read original play. But when I was studying it I thought Hamlet as a timid person, and can not act powerfully. But after watching movie I can understand real condition of Hamlet. Branagh has shaped character of Hamlet very artistically. I find that Laertes also comes under circumstances, otherwise he is good fellow. Branagh brings out all characters with effective personality.
           Yes, when Claudius is died rather murdered, at that time I felt aesthetic delight. At that time I was feeling that evil is destroyed, so there was feeling of relief in my aesthetic pleasure.
           And there are many moments of catharsis. First in nunnery scene I felt catharsis. Ophelia’s situation becomes very tragic at that time. Then when Ophelia gets mad and her brother comes to know this. And after singing a song she can not even cry. It means she lost her all feelings and emotions. It is height of my catharsis. Then in Hamlet’s some soliloquies I felt catharsis. Bus my most of the feelings of sympathy and catharsis is related to Ophelia.
          Yes, I deliberately say that movie screening really helps me a lot to understand the play. Branagh’s design of movie also plays important role. Before watching this movie I only knew the story of this play, But after watching it I feel that what exactly Shakespeare is. How amazingly he puts life in his characters and situations! Branagh also becomes successful to make this play full of life. So after watching this movie I come to know the hidden beauties of the play.
After nunnery scene when Ophelia feels so much pain and she is supported by her father. That scene I will cherish lifetime. How carefully her father consoles her without speaking any word. It shows the bridge of deep feeling between them. For me that scene is really heart touching.
           Branagh perfectly made this movie. Every character is grand. So I simply became fan of Branagh’s style. I would not like to make any changes, But at some point I feel that Ophelia, Gertrude and Horatio they are given less importance. So I would like to enlightened that characters with their nobility. 
          To write a play and to make a movie both are art. And when two arts are combined in such way then the greatness of both comes out wonderfully.
          Thank You,
          Regards
