Hamlet by Shakespeare

First of all I would like to tell that screening is more effective than reading. It is easy to understand but language is extent to hard. Now I gave answer of the question.
                  The movie is quite faithful to the original play. There are many similarity between play and movie. Director makes many changes into movie. He make situation for the demand of the script.
                   My perception about play, character, or situations: Yes so many things are changed into movie. For example: Scene of water, in this scene Ophelia have one key in her mouth that reference did not give in original play. Mirror scene is also not into original play. Movie is director’s own imagination.
                   Another question is about ‘Aesthetic delight’ in that answer I will say that yes I feel ‘aesthetic delight’ while watching the movie, when Claudius’s death, sometimes Hamlet’s madness & his soliloquy. In one scene I don’t remember exactly but Hamlet use the word “My uncle- father and my aunt- mother.” It is very enjoyable movement. That time I also feel aesthetic delight.  The movie opens with one soldier on guard at night in a scene full of anxiety.
                Next is ‘Catharsis’ --Yes I feel catharsis while watching the movie, when Ophelia died as a drowned, her madness, and at the end of the movie Gertrude, Claudius, Laertes and Hamlet all characters are dying. The end is very tragic. In grave digging scene Hamlet unaware about Ophelia’s death, he see Gertrude, Claudius and Laertes came with coffin Ophelia’s body into in that time Hamlet shown and cried a lot. This all are very tragic moment of the movie.  
                   Next answer is: Yes screening of movie help us to better understanding of the play because director Kenneth Branagh’ movie Hamlet is majorly similar with original play. There are some minor changes into the movie.
                 In a movie Ghost scene is very horrifying for me. I think fearfully that “what will happen now?” when I see the movie I am very excited to every second. I will cherish lifetime whole movie.
                  And at the end I will said that “ If I am a director I will change into movie  one character of Ophelia means there is an no reference after her death. In my opinion if I am director I will put some more reference about her so every viewer believe that “Ophelia is still alive in Hamlet’s memory.”
             But overall Kenneth Branagh’s movie is very helpful to understand the original play…
