The captured scenery makes this scene more intense. As Hamlet begins his ‘To be or not to be - that is the question’ speech, he walks toward the mirror, it can be seen, Hamlet’s appearance of him holding a dagger. Another key fact about this scene is the way Hamlet behaves when he advances toward the mirrors. This is significant because it helps express how he feels about his mother’s marriage to Claudius. During Hamlet’s first contest with his emotions, he is seen in a large room where he stands alone. As the movie progresses toward the wedding of Gertrude (Julie Christie) and Claudius, the camera focuses directly at the whole scene, giving an amazing overview of the scene. The relationship between Hamlet and his uncle, Claudius (Derek Jacobi) is very complicated.

Set within the vast, cold interiors of a vaguely nineteenth-century manor, the film stars Branagh as the melancholy son of the Danish court, along with a Who’s Who of late twentieth-century master thespians, including Christie, Jacobi, Dench, Depardieu, Gielgud, and a young Winslet as the aggrieved Ophelia, all captured in sumptuous 70mm. Among the greatest works of literature, and one of the most frequently adapted works in the history of cinema, William Shakespeare’s Hamlet had never been filmed in its complete unabridged version-until Kenneth Branagh went about the task for this lavish, star-studded 1996 production.
