Hamlet by William Shakespeare is one of Bokklubben World Library’s Top 100 Best Books of All Time, it is also ranked 68th on The Greatest Books of All Time site, it is evidently a chef d’oeuvre, though it can have some adaptations that are not so overwhelming, like the one I have seen (in part, it was not my cup of tea) yesterday – you have thousands of reviews on magnum opera from the aforementioned and other web pages on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/do-you-have-any-feedback.html and YouTube channel

Hamlet is
nec plus ultra, the crème de la crème https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/07/hamlet-by-william-shakespeare.html notwithstanding that, the version
that I have seen – at least for the fifteen minutes or so while I could stand
it – was a major disappointment, largely due to Ian McKellen, I do not like him
Which means
this is biased, since it is not just Hamlet, but also in other parts he is not
a preferred thespian, indeed, I think I could only go along with him in The
Lord of The Rings, and that is a film that is not even in my top 5,000, I liked
it in the early two thousands, but because it was spectacular on some levels.
I am getting
fussy, Hamnet, one of the most admired motion pictures of the last year, winner
of The Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for Jesse Buckley –
here is proof that this is so subjective and ultimately irrelevant, I do not
like this other actor – was yet another feature where I wondered what is so
wonderful here?
In Hamnet https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/02/hamnet-by-maggie-ofarrell-has-been.html we have the wife taking the center
stage, and I understand it is not credible: William Shakespeare has left a will
in which the spouse is left with almost nothing, so where is all that passion
that we see in the motion picture
It is very
likely that the above is wrong, both the story of the will, which I have
probably misremembered, and the rest – however, this is a personal note, we are
on my blog, or Goodreads, and these are places where you do not get expert reviews,
well, maybe there are a few critics that put on that site some material
The story of
Hamlet is so well known- the father is killed by his brother, so that he can
get the power, he marries the widow – here I am reminded of Richard III https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/07/richard-iii-by-william-shakespeare.html where Richard marries the widow of
the man he had killed
Ian McKellen
might have worked – if not for me – in the role of the usurper, the father, but
they have him as Hamlet at the age of…whatever his advanced age would be, and
yes, I am 62, this would be called ageism, or some such thing, but he is too
old for the role of a quite young man, let us push it to middle age, but still…
Jack Lemmon https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/07/glengarry-glen-ross-by-david-mamet.html talked about this in a documentary
called American Cinema, you could not take on King Lear when you are a
teenager, or words to that effect, anyway, this is not the style I like, he
seems artificial to me, and I could be, or I am surely wrong
