Ghost scene

The first version of Hamlet was directed by Franco Zeffirelli and the main character Hamlet was
played by Mel Gibson and the ghost was Paul Scofield.  In Zeffirelli's version of the ghost scene, the characters didn't really  represent themselves that well so it was hard to identify them.  There wasn't any music playing in this version or any lightning. This scene was very boring because no special effects occurred.

  The second version of the ghost scene was directed by Kenneth Brangh.  The characters were Hamlet which was played by Kenneth Brangh and the ghost was Brian Blessed.  The characters portrayed themselves dramatically and you could identify the characters easily.  Also the lightning was like a dark fog and there were many special effects such as fog, voices in the background, and blood coming out of the father's ear.  Brangh did use visual elements such as showing flashbacks of how the ghost got killed.
  In the the third version directed by Michael Almereyda, Hamlet was played by Ethan Hawke.  There was music, but it was low and mellow and there was no lighting.  No special effects were used in this version.  Also there were no visual elements or flashbacks, it was only talking.  I disagree with some of the choices that the director made because they didn't use enough effects on the first and third version to make the scene more interesting.  The second version caught my attention  the most because there was a lot of effects that kept me interested and the actors were dramatic.
