Film: Olivier
- The queen is in the sun and hamlet's face is in the sun.
- speaks to hamlet pleadingly and motherly
- she is being manipulative
- the king is in the darkness
- hamlet is sitting down, slouching
- Gertrude stands in front of him towering.
- looks at his mother as if looking for approval
- Gertrude hugs on him and holds his shoulders (like a puppet-master)
- she touches him many times
- She cups his face affectionately
- Claudius speaks very pompously
- the court pays close attention to both him and Gertrude/ hamlet
- The king pays attention to who is watching him
- talks more to the people than he speaks to Hamlet
- being kingly??
- Walks around as he speaks
- When he says "let the world take note" everyone stands up and he points out toward the crowd
- Claudius stands about him, speaking down on him
- Gertrude stands in front of claudius trying to take over
- kisses hamlet passionately
- Claudius interrupts as they are kissing
- the soliloquy is given very calmly
- seems resigned, contemplative
- looks down at the thrones
