i go to see hamlet because i be in between job . i figure 4 hour would be great and i have be a fan of branagh while dead again and henry v. i be completely overwhelm by the direction and acting and cinematography that this film capture . like other review the 4 hour pass swiftly . branagh doesn not play hamlet and he be hamlet and he be bear for this . when i watch this film i be constantly try to find faults and i have look at the goof and haven not notice them . how he be able to move the camera in and out of the hall with all the mirror be a mystery to me . this movie be shoot in 70 mil . it a shame that columbia hasn not release a widescreen version of this on vhs . i own a dvd player and and i would take this over titanic any day . so columbia if youre listen put this film out the way it should be watch . and i do not know what happen at the oscar . this should have sweep best picture and best actor and best direction and best cinematography . what film be they watch . i felt sorry for branagh at the oscar when he do a tribute to shakespeare on the screen . they should have be give a tribute to branagh for bring u one of the great film of all time .
