Response To Hamlet By Kenneth Branagh

After seeing this introduction I am expecting to be a movie where Branagh has tried to make a representation of the characters as close to the real Hamlet characters as he can. He says in a part that he wanted the best actors he could get, insisting the fact that they had to learn their own lines in Old English, being as close to the real play as possible in that sense. The setting of the play will also be very important therefore, choosing it to be a castle full of mirrors to help the audience visualize each character's reflections and soliloquies. Since he mentioned that he chose the filming to take place in a snowy and cold place, I am intrigued if the cold and surroundings have any significance in the story. Branagh stated that Shakespeare used it first but then it became everyday language and everybody is using it, and I am intrigued to know some specific examples of this fact
