Play or movie?

At first i preferred the play because i made up my own images of what was happening. After seeing the movie, a new picture of the play is portrayed which makes it become more clear. With the movie there is an interaction between characters and while we are in class there is less emotion of the characters. During the movie, the audience can see the interaction and involvement of the characters. For example, in the play we read, words, words, words. While in the play there is emotion and sense of the way Hamlet feels as he is speaking to Polonius. The director of the movie did capture the tone and mood for the most part. He does skip around and moves certain lines which reveals the play different than it actually is. For example when talking to Ophelia he says go the to a nunnery, but in the movie Hamlet says it in a different aspect than one would read in the play.
