Hamlet..

I was just reading a book of Shakespeare's tragedies, I like a lot of his different plays from MacBeth, Romeo and Juliet but one of my all-time favorites is Hamlet. Some may find this play to be odd and confusing. But for me it is interesting I see it as man that is conflicted about his father the King's death and the prompt to manage of his mother the Queen to his uncle. I know this sounds odd but it is Shakespeare, in this book Hamlet sees his father as a ghost therefore driving him crazy. I am not telling you the whole story but believe me when I tell you it is a great story. I have seen Hamlet on stage and in many movies but the best one was when the well known actor Mel Gibson played Hamlet. I have been wanting to see it again but for some reason it's not shown very often on TV. Mel Gibson played Hamlet so well that he made you feel and understand why his character acted did what he did, after seeing that performance I have only preferred to see that version of Hamlet. I am sure that Shakespeare himself would've been proud. So if anyone out there hasn't seen Mel Gibson as Hamlet you are terribly missing out. The movie came out in 1990, so if you have a chance rent it and watch it.
