Hamlet video Critique

In the this movie version of Hamlet the scene starts off in the dark to set the dark, creepy mood for the ghost when he enters, But Hamlet is the one talking before the ghost enters, yells in a creepy, almost insane and distressed tone. also he is running through the forest with the ground cracking below his feet. The music is also while he is running frantic. When Hamlet stops and says he wont go on anymore the music also stops and everything comes to a screeching halt. Than a clearly not human voice talks which sounds also like more than once voice talking at the same time. The creepy Ghost who is talking is made to seem sinister or not a good ghost which i think the purpose was to make it clear that he wants his revenge. When he appears he pushes hamlet against a tree and starts talking. The Ghost's eyes are an unnatural blue, again to show that he is not alive. He is also whispering very, very loudly. When he talks about what would happen if he told his tale of what he went through the ground starts breaking apart again and steam comes out of the ground.I think it would have been more effective if the director made the king not really that much more alive, or to show that he was creepy, not even make it look like king Hamlet, because when he talks he clearly gives us the impression that he is not human yet and probably shouldn't be trusted. the king starts talking about his murder, and emphasizes the word murder, but also the camera gives us a closeup of king hamlets mouth every time he says murder which is three times. Then Hamlet speaks in a whimpering tone, which shows that he is distressed and afraid. I thought he was rather distracting and took away from the effect because every time he talked i could not help but think of a whimpering dog. Then flashbacks start to happen back to some point in which we see hamlet's uncle, in light, having a good time. I think the director does this because he wants to make the ghost look bad and not to be trusted because when the flashbacks occur and we see the "evil" uncle he's simply playing some game and the creepy effect is lessened by the introduction of a lighter scenery. Then when we see hamlets uncle actually go to murder his father we see him walking through the snow, which looks very fake, only his feet until he goes to poor the poison in his ear. Then while he's pouring the poison into his ear all we see is his hands, and while king hamlet is thrashing about we see the uncle, with a look of fear in his face. all while this is happening the scene goes back to the creepy scene and looks at hamlet, who looks confused, the scene is still dark. Then when the ghost is talking to hamlet again, he has a lazy eye. also his eyes, still seem unnatural. The music is also creepy still all the way up until the ghost leaves. The camera goes back and forth between hamlet's and the ghosts eyes. The camera also views the ghost always at a upward angle and hamlet at a lower one. all the way up until the ghost leaves. When the ghost leaves he disappears and they try to touch but he just disappears. The music changes into more peaceful when the ghost leaves, and Hamlet sounds a lot more manly instead of being afraid. the music then goes into brave music as he swears to kill his uncle.
