Thinking activity on 'Hamlet'

1) How faithful is the movie to the original play?
Ans:The movie 'Hamlet' by Kenneth Branagh is completely faithful to the original play 'Hamlet' written by Shakespeare because Kenneth have taken each and every dialogues from the play to his movie.
2)After watching the movie, have your perception about play, characters or situations changed?   
Ans: After watching the movie 'Hamlet' we can find little bit changes like ophilia's character can be find loosely constructed.
3)Do you feel ‘aesthetic delight’ while watching the movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no, can you explain with reasons?   
Ans:Yes, I felt aesthetic delight in the first scene in the movie when ghost appeared and at the last scene when Hamlet kills many people on whom he has doubt to  killed his father and be accompany with Claudius to hide the truth of his father's murder.
4)Do you feel ‘catharsis’ while or after watching movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no, can you explain with reasons?
Ans: Yes, I felt 'Catharsis' while watching the movie in two scenes when Hamlet misbehave with his mother and on the screaming of Ophelia on her father's death.
5)Does screening of movie help you in better understanding of the play?·         
Was there any particular scene or moment in the movie that you will cherish lifetime?
Ans: The screening of the movie helped me to understand the play in the better way.And the play is also helpful to remember every scene ,situation of character and most of remember the scene of ghost.
6)If you are director, what changes would you like to make in the remaking of movie on Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’?
Ans:if I would a director of the movie I would change some scenes and character's behaviour like I would make Ophelia's character more powerful and give more importance to the female characters and I would also change the age of Hamlet.
7)In the beginning of the movie, camera rolls over the statue of King Hamlet out side the Elsinore castle. The movie ends with the similar sequence wherein the statue of the King Hamlet is hammered down to the dust. What sort of symbolism do you read in this?
Ans:The beginning scene's statue shows us the power and the ruling man all over the Denmark, though he has been died now, and the last Hemlet's statue's fallen scene symbolises the remarkable tragic end of Hamlet and also shows that no one can be the sovereign of particular reign for a longer time.
