favorite film versions

Out of all three films my favorite was that of Franco Zeffirelli. I liked how Zeffirelli portrayed Hamlet as a very depressed and lonely character who is grieving his father's death. The setting of the film is ominous and depressing which attributes to the way Hamlet feels. The music is suspenseful and creates more of a gloomy mood. I found it interesting that in the film Gertrude is sad at the burial of Hamlet Sr. However, immediately after the funeral Gertrude is happy and exuberant which demonstrates how resilient getting over Hamlet is for her. I feel that this film is the most accurate portrayal of Hamlet.
