It was an interesting interpretation, but I wish he had spoken with a little more clarity.

if you dont like how they've done it their way then don't watch it. what if this is the way shakespeares origanlly wanted it but someone went and changed it after he died or whatever. what if youre respecting someone elses work?

This sounds like any old high school student, mumbling the words along. Branagh actually, y'know, interprets the words with his speech.

A theatre professor pointed out that Hamlet, in this performance, walks down the action isle but doesn't take one. This scene shows Hamlet's unwillingness to choose a course of action while performing the soliloquy.

Everyone interprets all Shakespeare differently. This is just showing how the director and the actor view this soliloquy. They didn't view it as a mad scene, they viewed it as a turning point, and a realization. That's the beautiful thing about Shakespeare. No matter who you ask, there will ALWAYS be someone who sees it differently.

Probably, that is the most common interpretation. As I see it: maby he does not, maby he is just thinking about the strange ways of life and the mystery of death. He might be confused and doubtful. Nobody knows.

any to be or not to be scene is better than this scene, he does not play the mad act very well as he should, and this makes me hate this

I'd say about 90 percent of Shakespeare scholars would say that he is judging from the first line.

He's not JUST considering suicide. that is only part of it willnewman1984 is correct. This monologue is about choices, and the consequences they have, by choosing them or not. Killing himself is just one example of the types of choices he is talking about. Part of the reason this monologue is famous is because the first line could be applied to absolutely any topic in the world.

This is the dumbest adaptation and worst soliloquy. Kenneth Branagh's was the best.

Epic. Not the natural metre for this soliloquey, but more direct in its meaning. Sod the textual minutiae, in terms of depth and accessibility of the dilemma Hamlet faces, this is the best rendition I've ever heard. For the record, my ex is a literary scholar and thinks this is crap. I'm just a Hamlet fanboy who loves this soliloquy, and have read it many, many times when feeling down on my luck, and this is the closest rendition to my inner monologue when reading it that I have ever found.
