Numerous directors have produced movies based on what some consider to be the best work of literature of all time, Hamlet. Both Franco Zeffirelli and Kenneth Branagh have produced their version of the play, Hamlet. After seeing both of the movies and comparing them to the context of the play, Kenneth Branagh’s version was superior to Zeffirelli’s because it is a more accurate representation to Shakespeare’s original version of the play. Franco …showed first 75 words of 928 total…

…showed last 75 words of 928 total…not rearranged and characters are not left out, witch gives a more accurate representation of Shakespeare’s version to the play. Most importantly, Hamlet soliloquies are not cut in Branagh’s version so that the audience can see the depths of Hamlets character. Zeffirelli is insulting the greatest author of all time by changing his play, where as Branagh is uplifting Shakespeare by producing a wonderful movie of Shakespeare’s greatest work, Hamlet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
