Hamlet


There are many films in which we as spectators can appreciate how the author expresses an Ideal. This ideal can sometimes involve vengeance, love, religion and madness. Besides we can observe how the spectacle and the setting affect the plot and the characters in the film. For instance the film called Hamlets is a good example of how does the author express certain ideal. In the film we can observe ideals like vengeance, love, religion and madness. A mix of all this feeling is what makes Hamlets an interesting film.

To start with we can see how the author expresses the ideal of vengeance in the film Hamlets and how does it affect the setting. In addition we see how the ideal of vengeances repeats over and over. First we have hamlet wanting to revenge his father’s death. Then leather wanting also to revenge his father’s death. Therefore we realize how these two characters are both consumed in hate and madness. As a result they begin in a certain way to destroy everything in their path. Also base on the ideal of vengeance they end up destroying their life and the life of their loves ones. With hamlets we see how base on his revenge he kills by mistake in an act of outrage the father of the Ophelia the girl that he loved the most. Finally we can see how the author is pointing out that revenge does not resolve anything and that at the end it only makes things worse.

On the other hand the ideal of religion also appears in the film. Since the movie is base in the middle ages. This Era is known as the dark ages because of the fall of the Roman Empire. Then all the knowledge that the roman had and the Greeks had was lost. Therefore as time went by Christianity started to rise and spread. And we can see these ideals appear in the movie. For instance when Hamlets dad ghost appears to him and tell him that he was poisoned and killed without confessing his sins. Therefore he went to hell. As a result we can that this ideal is part of the Christianity and this had an enormous effect on hamlet. Because on what the ghost told him, he starts his vengeance.

Yet there we appreciate how the love and madness mix together made a huge impact upon the characters life. For example the love that hamlet felt for his father and also his mother was so special. Yet when he sees that his dear mother marries his uncle and two moths pass from his dad’s death. He then starts to get devastated and betrayed by his mother.

Finally in my opinion I can say that even though the film hamlets points out certain ideals just like the ones that I just explain before. The film is basically bringing the messages that when someone seeks vengeance the person does not end up in a good way. Besides they can end up like Hamlets hurting other peoples and even ending up their lives. Also that we cannot be let driven by our feelings in order to seek vengeance. As a result there are other way to bring justice without hurting anyone.
