Hamlet 1948-Laurence Olivier 1964-Anthony Hopkins as Claudius 1990-Mel Gibson Hamlet has been produced in a variety of ways, but making a movie out of Hamlet is very different. When producing Hamlet on film there are some liberties that are taken for either artistic benefit or to keep it shorter. These liberties are up to the director’s interpretation of Hamlet. The director’s interpretations make each Hamlet production different. Unique differences make each Hamlet interesting. …showed first 75 words of 1125 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1125 total…a good old fashion quality. The 1964 version was decent. I liked how loud and it seemed almost boisterous Anthony Hopkins played Cluadius. It used the same dark effects that the 1948 production used, but it was also in color; that is always a good thing. A lot was different in the forty year that was between the productions of these Hamlets. They were enjoyable and showed me how Hamlet can be interpreted differently. Bibliography n/a
