....HamLet.....




I’ve watched another movie with my classmates few weeks ago. The movie entitled ‘HAMLET’ is an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s play, HAMLET.



The movie is about Hamlet, the protagonist of the story. He is the king of Denmark who seeks for his father’s murderer. Then, he found out that the murder was done by his own uncle, Claudius. Hamlet then wants to revenge about his father’s death and reveal that the murderer is Claudius. Unfortunately, everyone thinks Hamlet is crazy. Then, Claudius also tries to kill Hamlet after knowing that Hamlet has found out the truth about him. Claudius then tries to poison Hamlet by putting a poisoned pearl in Hamlet’s drink.

However, the one who drinks it is the queen. The truth completely revealed after that. Hamlet also faces the death because he has been cut by a poisoned sword. However, Hamlet stabs Claudius with the same sword and pours the poisoned drink right into his mouth that cause him death. All of them died at the end of the story. After I watched this movie, I noticed that it has similarities with the play Oedipus Rex which is ending in sadness. Nonetheless, Hamlet is really a good movie.

    This is one of the tragedy plays by William Shakespeare…but as what you said…we just watched its adaptation film. Quite good film because it still based on the original play. Sad ending when all of them died. From this movie we can see how human actually do not sincere with each others. Claudius kills his brother just because he wants to get the throne. But at the end he deserve to die. Good story with tragic ending.
