Mel Gibson and BBC

I thought it was really interesting seeing the two different version of Hamlet and how different a scene can be interpurted. I think that the Hamlet in the BBC version was extremely dramatic and almost seemed like he was ruining the whole play. i could not watch him without thinking that this whole thing is ridiculous and laughing. I thought the Gibson version was much more realistic and seemed more modern day acting. i liked how he was a lot calmer and didnt act like a drama queen. i also think that the BBC hamlet was very miscast and seemed like he was forty. I think that Gibson was much better cast. Although the Gibson version was by far my favorite, i think that maybe the BBC version was more true to what Shakespeare actaully wanted it to be like, but i cant say that for certain. I really like watching the movie versions because i think it helps us to understand better.
