-In the first version that we watched, I felt it was very childish and cartoonish. The shaking and yelling and the cracking of the ground were a little much for me. It just wasnt very beliable. It was a cool concept that the director had but I think all that he did was not nessary to get the point across. The yelling made it very hard to understand the meaning of the scene and it made it really hard to understand. The lighting and music were the only thing that actually fit the scene.
-In the next modern day version I hated the scene. I thought fis was the stupidist thing I've ever seen. I hated the whole modern day with old english concept anyway but that seen was the woarst by far. It was just way to relistic and took away from the movie. The lighting was blah and I dont remember if there was any music. I was very bored in that version.
-In the Mel version I love it. It was the best I've seen. It really had me interrested the entire time. Nothing was to over the top and it was relistic but not too relistic like the modern version. Everything I thought was perfect. I really liked Mel's acting.
Mmm..."Hamelt" lol Sounds yummy! :-p
ReplyDeleteEven though I REALLY like the Branagh version overall, I am not the biggest fan of the ghost scene. I agree with you that it's a little over the top.
I would like to know how you would have directed it, if you were in it (maybe it would be a musical? :-) ).
Don't forget to to spell check, though, Jarred. Your menu of a title wasn't the only thing off here...Great start though!
