Act III Scene i Favorite quote

"Thus conscience does make cowards of us all" is my favorite quote because I often spend too much time thinking instead of acting. Many times in my life I missed out on numerous experiences due to my over thinking of the situation. This quote Hamlet makes can be considered a universal truth we all share. Our thoughts may shape our actions, but our thoughts can also prevent those actions from ever happening. Everyone has experienced this at least once in their life and it has affected how the event transpired. Often, people tend to procrastinate and delay their actions due to the uncertainty in their minds. Sometimes you need to stop thinking and act for if you spend your whole life thinking, you haven't experienced life at all.

Best Hamlet Movie

The best Hamlet movie I believe is the 19th Century Hamlet by Ken Branagh. He manages to capture the full play by staying true and using Shakespeare's lines and not simplifying or paraphrasing them. The 19th Century Hamlet also clearly demonstrates the moods and tones meant for the play. The actors are able to play as truly believable characters making the viewer feel like they are Hamlet or Cladius or Polonius. This movie visualises everything Shakespeare could not by providing insight on the Kingdom preparing for war, and the background story of the death of King Prium by Pyrrhrus in Greek mythology. Therefore, Ken Branagh's interpretation of Shakespeare's Hamlet is the best of the Hamlet movie for its ability to capture all of Hamlet's triumphs, defeats, and tragic downfall.
