Today we got our actual assignment for the paper. We have to analyze Hamlet's soliloquey at the end of Act II scene II by watching the soliloquey in class in different movie versions with different actors and different portrayals and decide which one you personally think is the best example of the soliloquey. We watched two film clips and we will begin class tomorrow discussing the second clip.
The First Clip:
- was in black and white,actor Hamlet spoke very fast, hard to understand him, with great emotion, was very personal when speaking, used the set enough but not too much, said the word Hecuba with sarcasm and pronounced every syllable with a stress, good range of emotion throughout, not so many close ups with the camera
The Second Clip:
- was in color, actor Hamlet talked slower, was easier to understand, more close up with the camera, very emotional acting, could see it in his eyes what he was feeling, disheveled looking
I will add specifics tomorrow because I can't remember the names of the actors and the directors off hand.
