If you are planning to go to the cinema this weekend, my recommendation would be to go
and see this highly-acclaimed version of Hamlet. This is the first time the full Shakespeare
text has been brought to the big screen. At no point is it monotonous despite being four
hours long. This ambitious adaptation is noteworthy because of the elegance of its sets and
the excellent performances. It is interesting to see the portrayal of Claudius as a sympathetic
man, and Kate Winslet makes a particularly powerful Ophelia. Kenneth Branagh, as Hamlet,
brings to life the complexity of the character. It is a visual triumph which brings together an
impressive international cast and makes optimum use of its beautiful location. This certainly
is a truly remarkable film.

Man: Uh, where am I? Tsk, hum . . .

Woman: Excuse me. Do you need any help?
Man: Nah, I . . . I'm just looking . . . well . . . [Okay . . .] Uh, well, actually . . . yeah.
Um . . . I want to go to the science museum, but I've been lost for the past few hours,
and I can't make heads or tails of these ticket machines.
Woman: Ah, well, just press this button. [Oh, yeah] And from here, it's a dollar fifty.
Man: Okay.
Woman: Then, get on the train at platform number 4.
Man: Alright. Oh, and how often do the trains come around this time of day?
Woman: Usually, they come about every six minutes.
Man: Okay. And where do I get off the train?
Woman: Get off at State Street Station, three stops from here.
Man: Okay. I got it. Thanks for your help.
Woman: No problem. Good luck
