#Hamlet kenneth branagh full movie online movie
I remember enjoying Mel Gibson’s Hamlet, but most film versions of Shakespeare are overdone, or pretentious, or as Niggle says,”inventive.” I can’t think of many I’d recommend. Hamlet 1996 Kenneth Branagh Full Movie Download. In the only unabridged film version of the classic play, here updated to the 19th century, Prince Hamlet (Kenneth Branagh) is traumatized by the revelation that his father was murdered. (I also saw Roger Rees as Hamlet, that was a good production). It’s the same production that he recycled for the movie, which is great in many parts but again ruins all the comic characters. A farce like that has to be funny! And Keanu Reeves is a HUGE example of Branagh casting someone who simply can’t read Shakespeare at all.BTW, I was studying in England in 1986 and had the great pleasure of seeing Kenneth Branagh on stage as Henry V, he is amazing. Branagh broke the cardinal rule when it comes to a Shakespeare comedy - do not take any of the situations seriously! Benedick and Beatrice came off great, but Hero and whats-his-name… it was far too cruel to be funny. American actors can read Shakespeare very well!I don’t like Branagh’s “Much Ado” either - especially poor Dogberry, who is supposed to be so funny. I saw this movie ages ago and did not like it at all - and I love Shakespeare plays, so I am not unfamiliar or uncomfortable with them.I found Branagh’s version to be pretentious and far too dull to watch, and I was annoyed by what I remember as large numbers of people who could not actually read Shakespeare being cast in it.
