Q-1 How faithful is the movie to the original
play?
A-1 I think the movie is more faithful to me,
because I more understand the play by watching than
reading. Kenneth Branagh had made the
movie very gently. He covered all the important scenes. So it is easy to
understand and remembering for long time.
Q-2 After watching the movie, dose your
perception about play, characters or situations change?
A-2 yes, there is some change in my mind for
the character of Hamlet. I think comparison with the play he more rudely with
Ophelia and Gertrude. Here Kenneth Brenagh did not change the situation of
Ophelia’s death. He keep secrete about it.
Q-3 Do you feel ‘aesthetic delight’ while
watching the movie?
A-3 I feel aesthetic delight while I
saw that Hamlet was killing his uncle because he complete his revenge.
Q-4 Do you fee
‘catharsis’ while or after watching the play?
A-4 Yes, I feel
‘catharses by watching the movie. Many scenes are creating catharsis. Like, I
feel very pity when Hamlet behaves very rudely with Ophelia and his mother. How
he rejected her mother’s and Ophelia’s love. I also feel fear when the ghost
came and telling the secret of his murder. The atmosphere of forest was viewed
very horrible, it creates fear. Also feel pity for Hamlet, how he acted as mad
but actually he was not. So that way I feel Catharsis while watching movie.
Q-5 Dose screening
of movie helps you in better understanding of the play?

to understand more about the play. Because after watching the movie the concept
of the play or story makes clear in our mind. And such scenes are always
remaining in our mind. So its also helps us in exam. As a form of movie we also
get interest so its remain in our mind for long time.

particular scene or movement in the movie that you will cherish lifetime?
A-6 Yes, there were many scenes which I will
cherish life time. Like, Ghost scene, Nunnery scene etc. In Ghost scene, how
the Ghost came and talked with Hamlet. Ghost’s speech and scene of jungle, it
was snow falling. These all movements are cherish to me life time.
Q-7 If you are director, what changes would you
like to make in the remarking of movie on Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’?
A-7 If I will make the remaking of movie on Shakespeare’s
‘Hamlet’, I like to omit some scene, which Kenneth Brenagh don’t. Like the last
death scene of the movie because it’s create catharsis for me.
