Hamlet: the first ghost scene

The first scene we watched with Mel Gibson as Hamlet Mel Gibson was perfect for the ghost scene. He expressed the right emotions at the right time andc really made the scene come out of the book. The ghost in the movie didn't really fit my picture of the book's version. He spoke too softly and looked really old. Even the descriptions of the ghost in the story are not how they are showed in the movie. There was some sort of music playing but it was very suttle. There was very little lighting to make the scene fit the whole movie. No special effects just Hamlet and King Hamlet talking. Director really didn't use visual elements.
  
   The second movie was very dramatic. The Hamlet in the movie was the complete opposite of how I pictured hamlet. The ghost was dressed as the book described but his facial expression was weird. He was staring into the distance and wasn't really convincing as ghost Hamlet. There were smoke machines and loud banging noises to intensify the talk between Hamlet and his father. There were flashbacks during the ghost scene which helped put a better picture in my head of what happened.

   Ethan Hawke was perfect for Hamlet. He was always sad and always mopey but he expressed emotions at the perfect time. The ghost wasn't that good but I like how the director gave him a napkin so he can show how he was poisoned. The lighting was basically normal, nothing to bright or too dark.
