ah but thats a great version. Only Olivier was rather old to play that part.:o

Branagh is gud. I aint a pro on anything but I do enjoy poetry/drama. :o

Whats to say? Its all about interpretation or what you understand from the play. I taught Romeo n Juliet at GCSE, I dont know how much more advanced A Level is (guessing pretty much) but even then the main theme is the same, viz quotes and explanations etc.

I love Hamlet! I remember my teacher showing us the Lion King before we watched the other movies so we could see the similarities. Branagh's version is the best one I found.
