and will he not come again?
no, no, he is dead;
go to thy deathbed;
he will never come again.
his beard was as white as snow,
all flaxen was his poll.
he is gone, he is gone,
and we cast away moan.
god ‘a’mercy on his soul!
and of all christian souls, i pray god.
god b’ wi’ you.
…I could be bounded in a nutshell,
and count myself a king of infinite space,
were it not that I have bad dreams.
Hamlet (1996)
pabloandyoda replied to your post: BTW my old obsession with Hamlet has come back…
What’s your favorite movie adaptation?
Well, I have seen just some parts from the Mel Gibson version and the Kenneth Branagh’s. I know I should watch the Lawrence Olivier’s too. Of the ones I have seen I choose Kenneth Branagh’s. It’s the only one complete cinematographic version of Hamlet. And the cast is the best I have ever seen together in a movie. But the way I have always enjoyed Hamlet the most is reading it. I was commanded to read it in the high school and I just loved it. I have my bilingual edition well keeped. With my favourites parts marked.
