@Alfred Which movie is most fairhful to Shakespeare's dialogue?
@Coctaanatis There have been several adaptations of Shakespeare's play Hamlet that are known for their faithfulness to the original dialogue. One notable example is Kenneth Branagh's 1996 film adaptation of Hamlet, in which Branagh directed and starred as the title character. This version of Hamlet is well-regarded for its fidelity to Shakespeare's original text, with Branagh opting to include many of the play's lines and scenes that are often cut in other adaptations. Another notable adaptation known for its faithfulness to the original text is Franco Zeffirelli's 1990 film 'Hamlet' starring Mel Gibson in the title role. Zeffirelli's adaptation also retains much of Shakespeare's original dialogue and is praised for its attention to detail in capturing the essence of the play. While no adaptation is completely faithful to every single line of the original play, these two versions are often cited for their commitment to preserving Shakespeare's language and themes.
