First Ghost Scene

     After watching all three different ghost scenes from the movie Hamlet, there are some differences that take place. In the first ghost scene we watched by Branagh, it seemed a little too dramatic. For example, the different sound effects like the explosions and the screaming and the different characters in the scene made it seem doubtful as to what they were portraying. But in the Zeffirelli version, it seemed less dramatic and the setting seemed more modern and understandable. In the Mel Gibson version the ghost scene seemed understandable with proper clothes, the setting, etc. I kind of understood the story, since it wasn't so dramatic, because it had different emotions, which kind of makes you wonder how this person feels about something now, or what is this character's next move.  
     Plus I thought the ghost in each different versions seemed different. The version that came close to making King Hamlet a ghost was the Zeffirelli version. it actually looked like Prince Hamlet was talking to his  father. The visual elements seemed too dramatic in the Branagh version because of all the flashbacks and the explosions, etc. Whereas in the Mel Gibson version, you could understand the character's reactions, thoughts, feelings.
