TO BE OR NOT TO TO BE 僕は日本語にこれをはなしをわかりません！

To be or complacently not!

まずは

Firstly,  We have the "Oliver" version of Hamlet.  The Oliver version of Hamlet is clearly an aged release.  That much is easy to identify simply because of it's lack of color.  While this personally doesn't bother me, I know that there are those who are adversely affected simply because of a presentations lack of color.  Some people even tend to show a lack of interest in the show or presentation itself all because.   Moving on from the fact that the movie itself is a rather outdated one, I do feel that the way they presented the To be scene was executed nicely.  My favorite part from this scene of this movie is when he goes on to say "To sleep".  At this part in the scene, he no longer speaks, and crises his eyes, as though he is now dreaming.  The reality around him is no longer existent, it is just him and his simple dream.  Lastly, what I enjoyed from his movie was the prop he had, the knife.  Out of all the Hamlet's we've seen, only two of them had used a knife during this part, and I feel it was extremely important to have that as part of the soliloquy,  It really helped emphasize his contemplation on suicide, to show that he truly did have the means to do it, that he was prepared and had the brass to do it.

In Mel Gibson's take on Hamlet, I honestly feel that he is the least into it out of everyone,  Lemme first state that whomever it is that is playing Hamlet, totally fits my image of what he should look like in mine own eyes.  However his PASSION< FLARE, and EMOTION.... they're all vacant, missing from his words.  It is as though he is simply trying to regurgitate what was written in the play oh so long ago.  However I feel that the setting itself is a very nice place for his soliloquy to take place, for multiple reasons.  The most prominent reason would obviously be that since he is contemplating suicide, no place better to be than in a place where all the dead reside.  (I would also like to point out for myself, that in Romeo and Juliet, their death's both took place within catacombs).  As he drones on he comes as of as trying TOO hard for the part.  A fake passion in his words, one that is not sincere, one that is lacking the fire that I imagine is within Hamlet himself!  Constantly overreacting which just seems to shatter, that cool and cunning image that the novel portrayed Hamlet to be for me.

Onto the third more "recent" Hamlet which takes place in the 19th century!  By far my favorite one of THEM ALL!  The actor who plays Hamlet is a perfect fit!  While he doesn't entirely match my vision of Hamlet, he has the passion, fire and energy of him.  That passion that he portrays as Hamlet is what paints the best image for me.  In this particular scene moreover, he understands that he is "alone" as such he remains cool as ice.  His words flow out from his lips caressing the mirror with sweet nothings as though the him  in the mirror was someone close, a significant other.  He calmly pulls out the knife, fearless, a sense of power is then relayed from his presence.  When this Hamlet speaks, you can tell that his words are care full picked out, that he planned to utter each and every word exactly as so, affirming my belief es that he is not only sane, but orchestrating everything!

Final

And finally we are left with the "Modern' present day version of the play.  I honestly don't know how to comprehend this take on Hamlet.  It is definitely unique and different.  It takes a spin that comes off as odd and should as a whole be appreciated for that.  However most would think that since it takes place at around this time, or at the very least in the past 15 years that the vocabulary used would also be more "modern",  I feel as a whole that the to Be or not to be scene just doesn't get conveyed the way it properly should be when it is narrated by someone from so recent a time.  I do appreciate however how his entire soliloquy is within his own head.  It alludes me to believe that he is battling his internal struggle, fighting off the urge to end it all.  His mind is a battlefield and there are even subliminal messages tied into as well which help define the mood.  The action movie that plays in the background, within the "action" section displays a scene of explosions, basically of death and destruction which as a while is what is most likely happening in his corporation/ family.  He is battling Heisman to make a decision on whether he should take a stand against the world or end it all now, to prevent the battle, to snuff out the spark of war.
