Hamlet in its many forms

For AP English, I had to watch two different versions of Hamlet.  The 1996 version with Kenneth Branagh, and the 1990 version with Mel Gibson, and Helena Bonham Carter as Ophelia. I later chose to watch the 2009 version with my favorite actor, David Tennant.  Although I enjoyed watching the 1996 one in class, I loved seeing Helena Bonham Carter as Ophelia.  She simply does crazy so well.  I chose to watch the one with David Tennant because I fell in love with him when he was The Doctor on Doctor Who.  He is good at playing different roles, and made a dark, somewhat disturbed Hamlet who was obviously still trying to get over his father's death.  I look forward to reading the play yet again.
