Hamlet: The First Ghost Scene

                 In my critique of the three film versions of Hamlet's first encounter with his father ghost goes into various persuasive atmosphere. Mel Gibson version sets the tone of the believed era of the Hamlet tale. Being so the scenario where the film adaptation takes place give us the audience the feeling of the first ghost scene, and Mel Gibson's strong expression before and after the ghost for us to capture a moment of a spiritual presence. The other two version were depicted to fit a scenario a different way so we can see that the main theme can be produced.  The second version by Kenneth goes somewhat similar but has a bit modern scene, and more of royalty in Hamlet's family. Kenneth expresses more emotional, direct, and triumphant feeling after the ghost. This movie's soundtrack compliments Kenneth's performance with a high pace music in the background. The last film by Ethan Hawke's character of Hamlet is given to us not as accurately as the others, having a modern setting put in place. None the less he portrays Hamlet in a different tone as the others with a scared persona. The music is more deep and suspenseful giving us the feeling of surprise and shocked.
                  All three film adaptations gives me different views as what Hamlet was in the story. By this I mean the first film with Mel Gibson gives me the setting of an estimate of Hamlet's life. The second film shows me how Hamlet's wealth and family of kings and queens were in his time and a clear indication of persuasiveness of the ghost being. The third film gives me the music in the background to more settle in Hamlet's ghost when he meets Hamlet. Having more ominous and suspenseful music in the background makes me believe that an actual ghost appearance is a terrifying feeling to have and that sells me in on that. Each film has it's own version to gives us a vision of Hamlet's story of the first ghost appearance.
                  The props used in the scenes were the deliverance to the setting if anything. But the occasional props of the story being told had different appealing to them. Mel Gibson used the regular verbal memory flashbacks to deliver the arrival of his father's ghost. Kenneth's version at the forest used explosions and many family flashbacks to show Hamlet how his father died. The third movie interpreted the flashback in the modern setting with photographs and family telling whats gonna happen. Each film utilizes memory props like talking,photos and many flashbacks to explain the story more clearly.
