I can completely understand why some absolutely love this film and some absolutely hate it, but for me it’s good but not great. I wasn’t a fan of the acting style used and how literal everything was but the story was interesting and entertaining throughout the overly long runtime. I wasn’t ever that bored or switched off which says a lot. Definitely one of the better best picture winners.

Hamlet

Cult of Personality 2024 (https://letterboxd.com/allbeef/list/cult-of-personality-2024/) #30 of 52 | Peter Cushing (https://letterboxd.com/actor/peter-cushing/) It’s great from a filmmaking perspective, but I’ve just never cared for Shakespeare’s writing in any form. The plots are always interesting but his style of dialogue is so atrociously nonsensical and hardly understandable by the modern person. It’s like listening to gibberish. Take a Shakespearean play, rework the dialogue for a modern audience, and you have a decent film. I just can’t enjoy something that I can’t even stand to listen to.
