Collage
I decided to choose the Hamlet 2009 film tv adaption for my presentation. I haven't watched the movie yet but I have read the synopsis and know who each of the actors are for the portrayal of the main characters. Among the actors is David Tennant! For those of you not familiar with his work he was in the tv series Doctor Who and the all-too-popular Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Barty Crouch Jr., the guy who impersonated Mad-eye Moody. Talk about interesting depths as an actor. The movie is about three hours long, which is pretty lengthy, but at least I know most of the part of the original Hamlet will probably be in there. As for David Tennant I think he may portray Hamlet well. Since he's had experience as an evil/crazy character like in Harry Potter he might be able to bring a softer side to Hamlet's character as well as portray Hamlet's avenging nature in a different perspective. Since Hamlet is seen as a "psychological" drama, and he's portrayed contrasting levels of personality it'll be interesting to see what he does in this movie. Anyone else decide to work with this movie? Do you think David Tennant will be a good Hamlet?

Hi Jennifer,
I'm still deciding which movie to concentrate on. I watched a few clips from the Hamlet 2009 film with David Tennant. I'm not sure if I like him playing Hamlet. He looks to be very old in the movie. In this link below, I found Act 2 Scence 2.

I still haven't decided which movie to do for my final project. I honestly did not know very much about this actor so I looked up some of his work. I also watched the "to be or not to be" soliloquy by Tennat. Judging just from that soliloquy I think that He is good choice for Hamlet. I think he does a really good job of expressing the inner conflict that Hamlet is experiencing throughout the play.
Here is a link to the video of the soliloquy that I watched:

I have decided to do this film as well , good choice. I have scen David Tennant's work and he is very good at really excelling in dramatic roles. Shakespear is an emotional character with highs and lows and judging by Tennant's acting ability I don't doubt that he will do a great job
Tina- Cool clips! I remember watching this part of the movie. It's very interesting the way Tennant plays Hamlet as "crazy." I can't tell if it's more entertaining or offputting.
Michaela- Thanks for the clip! I shared it with everyone in my collage. I agree Tennant does a good job in expressing Hamlet's emotional sides.
Mariatu- I agree! Have you finished watching the film yet? What do you think you'll write about?
