1). Do you think it was a good decision for Hamlet to murder Claudius in a modern society where killing or revenge is not acceptable. As a viedographer, could do he do soemthing different that would have been worst or similar as to killing Claudius?
2). What would have been a best place where the movie could have been set, where killing was more common and acceptable?

For question (1), I think you're right that if I were Hamlet(as living in this 21st century), I would try to find evidence and then put Claudius in jail instead of killing him myself.
(2)I think if the setting of the story has to be in a modern time, the best place would be a country which doesn't have a good government regulation that killers can easily get away from the laws. Thus,killing is necessary for a revenge/justice. I'd say North Korea might be a good fit (since the government is partly run by a family).
I totally agree with you and I think you have got great ideas. If the movie had been set in Afghanistan, it might have been more realistic because killing due to tribal and religious conflicts is commonplace. In our society revenge is often carried out through deviance business practices or legal means that could ruin a person’s reputation and standing in society, but murder is not acceptable. For instance Hamlet as a videographer could have ruined Claudius through an exposé film that could have sent him to jail, and dishonor him. Thanks for sharing your ideas with me.
