yesterday regina and i watched HAMLET the movie by kenneth branagh.
it was good, it was the whole play actually.exactly.
and it was 4 HOURS long.kinda crazy.but yeah.it was a good 4 hour. =)
having visual aids for your studies are always good. hey, it beats trying to memorize the whole book.
'ay, there's the rub' this sentence has been in my mind the whole day,and i haven't a clue what it means. =S
Kenneth branagh as hamlet was really good.he was Iago in Othello.
i can say he is a very convincing actor.his antic disposition was hilarious.
Polonius : Do you know me, my Lord?Hamlet : Excellent, excellent well : you are a fishmonger.after this exchange, i burst out laughing. polonius, for a counselor to the king, is pretty dumb,letting hamlet play with his 'limited wit'. 'fishmonger' here would also mean that hamlet is equating polonius to a pimp. LOL
well, Ophelia was played by Kate Winslet. and she was a character alright.
i wont forget what she did when she became mad.
Ophelia : Quoth she, before you tumbled me, You promis'd me to wed. So would I ha' done by yonder sun, And thou hadst not come to my bed.it was so unexpected and so hilarious.i couldn't stop laughing. though its not nice to laugh at mad people. Jien, if you're reading this you would know what im talking about.haha.
and robin williams played Osric. a minor character to provide comic relief.
he was so gay,i tell u he was funny, so robin williams. he rocks!
anyway,everyone should watch HAMLET. it'll be the best 4 hours of your life.
it made my day =)
*end*
ps, im going to miss Dr. Fernandez. she's an awesome lecturer, and super hilarious.
i'll miss all her bombastic words that i dont understand but never bother finding out(haha)
i'll miss her saying, "how's everyone? screaming, shouting, weeping?" after every class.
i'll miss her, trying to convince us that we can do ok, better than we think we can. and we'll all give her a face. =S
i'll miss her little kitchen timer to tell her that class is over.
i'll miss all her jokes about 'an old black ram is tupping your white ewe' from othello.
lastly, i'll really miss her, she is so fun. gave literature a whole other meaning =)
