abstract

This is a masterpiece that really captures the classical flavor of Shakespeare's plays. The film was directed and performed by laurence olivier and won the Oscar for Best Picture.

Describing the death of the Danish king, the night watchman saw the ghost of Lao Wang and told Prince Hamlet. Uncle Claudie married his brother and sister-in-law and succeeded to the throne before the mourning was over. The prince talked with the ghost and learned the truth about his uncle's murder of his father. In order to prove the truth, he directed a short play of Lao Wang's poisoning and invited the new king and queen to watch it. Uncle changed color on the spot, and his mother thought the prince was crazy. Ophelia was killed because of her lover's disappearance and the loss of her father's son, which aroused Laetis' hatred. When she compared her sword with King Claudius, she was poisoned in the wine.

The whole film successfully broke through the limitations of stage play, and gave full play to the image charm of the film in scene design and lens movement. Oliver's intonation is as wonderful as his expression, which explains the tragedy of the prince's character like a thread, while jean simmons plays Ophelia beautifully.

"Some people lose their minds because of their bad nature, or they regret it for life because of their persistent habits. Although there is pure morality, it is irreparable. " This film appeared on the screen like Shakespeare's works, which made it the highest film, won two awards for best film and best actor, and was nominated for best director and best supporting actress.
