Can't understand this sentence[edit]

This sentence is very unclear one: And this version of Hamlet is a shameless fraud who scare people around with fake ghost to gain power. Is it Hamlet who is a fraud, or is it this version of the play, or what?—Vitriden 17:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Certain Puzzles[edit]

I just put the essay into better English, but some puzzles remain. The sentence questioned above I think I clarified, but what about the "mechanics" that Hamlet enjoys accompanying? These must be the Players. And isn't he carried out onto the battlements, dead, at the end, rather than going out under his own steam? I haven't seen the movie (which seems to be hard to get), so someone should continue to correct my corrections! Jrmccall 17:29, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he does walk out to die outside - and there is then a funeral march as he is carried out of the castle. I have just added some material, and references, as well as deleting a few things which were either not relevant to the film, or misreadings of the cited refs (e.g. the bit about the imprisonment of Pasternak and Smoktunovsky which is actually contradicted by other sources).Lampernist (talk) 22:57, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
