4. Hamlet: Film Comparison
Today, we’re going to watch Act 1 from Gregory Doran’s 2009 Hamlet, which is a more modern interpretation.
As we watch this version, your first job is to compare the film with the original text, just like yesterday. You should look for differences in characterization, plot, and any cinematic techniques that you think add something “more” that wasn’t present in the text.
Once we finish, your job will be to argue which version is “best.”

5. Hamlet: Film Comparison

As you discuss each difference, state which version you preferred and explain why.
