Polonius's Advice

So in the play Hamlet, Polonius does come out to be a devious character, but he still some what redeems himself with the advice he gives his son Laertes.  I see the most important peice if advice is when he said, "stay true to yourself" . This is really important because through all the hardships you face in life, you know that if you do it for yourself and no one else, it'll be worth more in the end. To me, my dad always gives me good advice. One of the most important things he said to me was that what makes you laugh can also make you cry. So basically saying to be careful with all the fun things you have in life but to also be prepared to face the bad that also comes with the good.I think its really good advice because, I think alot of people can relate to it.

Hamlet Modernized (Almoreyda's Version)

       I like Mike Almoreyda's version of "Hamlet" because it is set at a more modern time. The actor choice for Hamlet's part was very good. He was young and was pretty much around the same age as I thought Hamlet would be. The story is set in the 21st century unlike the original play. The setting is in the city unlike the the castles of the original play. The music of the story is very joyous and happy instead of the ominous feel you would get from the original play. The clothing is very modern and less elaborate then the original play.

      My favorite movie is Almoreyda's version of Hamlet because it provided a fresh feel for the story. The character was young and was doing a documentary like our movies now-a-days. It was nice to see the changes in the two versions of the story. The differences in the plays didn't take from enjoying the movie though so it succeeded in my view. I Enjoyed the newer version of Hamlet very much. :D
