The two, very different, interpretations of Hamlet prove that the way you look at a certain situation determines its outcome. Both directors and the different sets of actors read Hamlet and felt as if the best way to represent it was theirs.
In the second image we can see how the director made hamlet appear as if he was in a future time period. His clothes are those that you would find while walking in the street. The background, however, is similar to what I imagine an old English castle looks like. The camera at the beginning proves that he is in the 21st century.
The first image represents a much older Hamlet. Not only is the actor an older man but the clothes and background is that of old England. He appears calm and sad. The other interpretation is much more aggressive. Not only do the clothes change the time period but the furniture is very different. Colors are brighter and ceilings are higher. The interpretation suggests that Hamlet is ashamed and sad at what is going on.
