Gracielle To be or not to be

          To be or not to be speech was said in all of the scenes as it was in the book, but portrayed different emotions and tones throughout the scenes. During the Mel Gibson version was one of the two scenes where there wasn't a dagger involved, where in the book the dagger was used to [show the readers that Hamlet was debating on weather to kill or not. Also, in the Mel Gibson version Hamlet was next to a toumb stone, almost praising the body like the body was actually dreaming. At that moment I felt that the actor really made me believe that when you die its a good thing, praising the tumb stone made the scene peaceful. In the most modern version, the setting was totally different from all of the other versions, and no dagger was used as well.  The part that stuck out to me the most, was when Hamlet stated yelling the cameras focused in on the television that was playing a bad deadly scene in the background. To me that shows anger and not death being so soft, dreamy or pleasant.
          In the Branagh's version is also my favorite version of the movie, I really love how Hamlet is talking straight into the mirror never breaking eye contact with himself. That shows so much confidence and emotion. Also when the dagger is pulled out loud music is being played which shows the speech reaching its highest peek, exaggerating the thought of if he should take action or not. Throughout that version Hamlets voice is a lot more stronger yet it seems like he is talking in a soft voice, close to a whisper. For Oliver's version the scene was very dark and gloomy, being it was on a cliff or roof that was standing high over the ocean, kept me on edge. I was not sure if Hamlet was actually going to jump or not, he was just so close to the edge and made the speech seem ten times more depressing than al of the others. The dagger and music was used in the scene and Hamlets tone didn't really change the whole way through.
