Hamlet

Hamlet (Sir Kenneth Branagh), son of the King of Denmark (Brian Blessed), is summoned domestic for his father’s funeral and his mom Gertrude’s (Julie Christie’s) wedding to his uncle Claudius (Sir Derek Jacobi). In a supernatural episode, he discovers that his uncle, who he hates anyway, murdered his father. In a very convoluted plot, the maximum complex and maximum exciting in all literature, he manages to (not possible to put this in exact order) feign (or perhaps not to feign) insanity, homicide the “Prime Minister”, love and then unlove an harmless who he drives to insanity, plot and then unplot against the uncle, direct a play within a play, correctly conspire towards the lives of two properly-meaning pals, and subsequently take his revenge on the uncle, but best at the fee of just about every existence on-stage, such as his very own and his mom’s. tt0116477
