Hamlet v Hamlet

It was a little difficult to compare the different interpretations since the soliloquy that each clip showed was different, so I also watched the Act 2 Scene 2 clip of the 1996 version to get a more extensive view of that Hamlet's interpretation. I thought the two interpretations Hamlet were very similiar and only had subtle differences.
As far as similarities, each clip used close-up camera angles because that angle helps focus less on the surroundings and more on Hamlet's actions. Hamlet was grief-stricken in each clip, but the way he handles his grief is where the interpretations differ. Each clip showed Hamlet being sad and angry, but they came in different orders in the clips.
The two plays differed in their interpretations of Hamlet's inner character. The first clip shows Hamlet angry from at the beginning, trashing the video camera and acting very violent. His anger turns into an exhausted sadness as he continues through the soliloquy. In the first clip, Hamlet's thoughts of revenge on Claudius seem more like impulses that were created out of his anger and desperation. In the second clip, Hamlet seems to be more rational because he starts out sad and comes to a realization that he has reason to be angry. His suspicion that Claudius murdered his father appears to be more justified, and instead of acting on impulse, he has little doubt that Claudius murdered King Hamlet. The 1996 version leans more toward a logical Hamlet who has reason to be angry while the first clip interprets Hamlet as a victim of his emotions. Either way Hamlet has plenty of reason to be suspicious and angry at Claudius.
