Mel Gibson's to be or not to be speech was a good speech. He says the famous speech inside of an underground tomb. This shows that he is seriously considering commiting suicide. Since there isnt and music it makes it seem a lot more serious. Certain lines that Gibson says are showed by his emotions and facial expressions.
The second version is set up pretty well. The guy playing hamlet is facing a two way mirror and doesn't realize Claudius and Polonious are on the other side of it. He is in some sort of ballroom and it is very bright inside of the room. During the speech he puls out a knife and puts it to his throat as if he is going to kill himself right there. His emotions are basically the same throughout the speech besides the knife he pulls out.
The modern version doesnt seem like much at first but the symbols around Hamlet explain the speech. He is walking through a blockbuster and isn't saying the speech but thinking it. He walks up and down the action aisle without picking a mivie symbolizing the fact that Hamlet fails to take immediate action against Claudius. His emotion basically stays the same throughout the speech.
The black and white version was a little dramatic with Hamlet reciting the speech on the edge of the castle. It makes it seem as if Hamlet is ready to jump off at certain points. During the speech certain words are emphasized and he too pulls out a knife at some point in the speech. During the speech there is weird music and the waves are crashing high semmingly drawing Hamlet into the water.
