On 3rd March 2009, I joined my course mates watching Franco Zeffirelli's version of Hamlet which was released in 1990 and involved great actors such as Mel Gibson, Glenn Close & Helena Bornham Carter. In my opinion, it is a wonderful movie, an almost line-for-line version of the famous play. I think both Mel Gibson & Glenn Close were great in this version. Glenn played the role of Gertrude so convincingly that you couldn't help but love her. She showed what the play could not: that Gertrude was still a good person and a wonderful mother. The audience couldn't hate her after that wonderful performance. Mel Gibson's version of Hamlet was great,too. He's perfect for all the wide-eyed and bewildered scenes. No one could have done a job anywhere close to being as wonderful as his. The costumes were original, the whole cast was smashing, and the plot line stayed true to that of it's namesake. What more could you ask for? I would give it 8/10. =)
