Agree to Disagree
Mel Gibson's version depicted his battle between santity and Insantity very clearly with his odd behavior, music choice, and the setting adding to the battle within himself. I believe his role as Hamlet he played it very well seemed more of a angry character and upset. I approved more of the Kenneth Branagh version i liked the scenery and how it's played during the winter time to emphasize the death of his father. The cold and the snow adds more of the gloomy feeling to it as so Kenneth Branagh portrayed Hamlet as a depressed character who has and continues to mourn his father death, and liked how when he chased the statue into the forest with the little war that was happening during the little trip depicts the war that is happening within is mind. The Modern version of Hamlet did not spark a connecton with me and how it was modernized made the whole story seemed a bit mis placed and did not fit the scenery but it how the tried to put a more edgy and dark quality to the movie. Just didn't like it overall.

Mark, this is so well said!! Great job! I often find that students don't connect to the modern version at first, and I didn't either. It isn't my favorite, but the director does some cool things with it that I do find interesting. I will be interested to see if your opinion changes in the future, as mine did.
