Directing is pure magic. Depending on who the director is, and how s/he directs a movie, the final product could vary heavily from one to another. Hamlet is not an exception - there are a several movies out there on Hamlet, and 3 of them which I watched had completely different interpretations. However, the ones I believe to be most respected are the actors. For one thing, I "suck" at acting. I cannot memorize more than 10 lines, therefore learning each line is a pain on my butt. Consequently, when I see people who have great acting skills (and this means anyone who could memorize a page of lines) I end up staring at them with awe. Talking about my acting skills, I was not exactly nervous during our own version of the play, but I ended up missing a line out of four. Plus, although I thought I had enough practices, I had to review these lines hard because I couldn't recite them without having to look at the book. I hope that doesn't mean I am stupid - I just hope I was born with zero acting talent. Anyhow, play is a beauty, and I respect everyone involved in play department.
