Kenneth Branagh’s
version is visually appealing.
With its extravagant palace laced with red, gold, and white, and bright
lighting, the viewer feels as if there are thousands of spotlights gleaming
onto each one of the actors. The
director of the film has done what no other film has done, depicting the
wedding of Claudius and Gertrude.
Here, the people of Denmark have flocked to see the ceremony and are
wearing bright red and white garments.
However, when Hamlet walks in, one can truly sense his loss and the fact
that he is still deeply grieving about the loss of his father. The director wants to make it obvious
to the audience that this is the case, so he has Branagh dress in all black,
the color of death and funerals, instead of wearing white, the color of
celebration and purity.
