Watching This Helps if You're Reading Hamlet
We watched this movie in British Literature class and thought it was so so and accurate...except for the part where Hamlet makes out with his mother. Rather disturbing. I think they should've chosen someone other than Mel Gibson. I'm not saying his acting wasn't good, because it was (though he was way over dramatic in the movie), I think someone younger and less known may have done a better job and not detracted from the story due to his celebrity. I'd say that you can use this movie to compare to the book and I am sure it's quite enjoyable when you are bored.
