Film versions

I found it really interesting to see different approaches to filming the same scene. Several of them had certain similarities but for the most part each attempted to capture the scene in different ways. The interactions between Claudius, Gertrude, and hamlet seem to change throughout the different scenes. In several of the scenes, we saw all three standing or sitting pretty closes together but in other scenes, Claudius was separated from the two, alienating himself to show his power, and proving the point that he is not a real part of their family. The clothes, music, and overall settings changed in each, but all the scenes tried to capture the exact same scene and attitudes in different ways.
