hamlet is my fave play of the bard's. i read the story from time to time, watch plays and films adaptations. i must say, hamlet should have been performed this way. the play is so much richer than just a brooding prince plotting to kill his uncle-stepfather-king. it's about word play and the role of language and memory, the question of fate and the ability to change it. i love it that this movie expands the witty language of shakespeare physically which often gets drowned with characters and sets that abridged the great work. and boy, a young gary oldman is cute.
