Hamnet

I haven't had a film stick with me in the way Hamnet has in a while. I keep replaying some of the scenes in my head over the week since seeing it. It's beautifully tragic and emotionally deep. The plot of the movie is relatively simple but is carried by the performances of the cast, mainly Jessie Buckley who is well deserving of all nominations and awards that come her way.

'Hamnet' celebrates the cathartic power of art and addresses trauma as an endless shadow. Jessie Buckley undoubtedly makes the pain palpable with her powerful performance; however, the script prevents us from exploring other facets of her as an individual. While all the main performances are noteworthy, the story overemphasizes the obvious. The cinematography and period setting are spot-on, but the music and overuse of ellipsis don't help.

各个方面都很扎实的电影，但不是我喜欢的电影。如同《泰坦尼克号》说穿了只是个很典型的古典爱情悲剧，本片的整个故事也没有可圈可点的地方，最多只是对莎士比亚这位文豪人生的一点花絮补充。作品的创作过程居然毫无展现，超自然元素的使用更是让我完全没办法代入共情。

Two actors in search of a script. With the actors finding little of substance, the result is over-acting. There is 6 minutes of art - 1 minute when the three children seem to act out a witch’s scene from MacBeth. And 5 minutes at the end when on stage, Shakespeare embraces Hamlet once again and Hamlet’s mother gets to hold his hand. However, it is not enough for a film. There is an attractive backdrop of a forest

So I found a little scene after the credits! The uninteresting child murdering hawk mom lady actually went backstage and went down on the young fella playing her son. The crowd did a standing ovation and the dad i think is supposed to be bill Shakespeare just sits in his room weeping like some petulant milksopper then hangs himself. Then bipolar witch child murderer lady redoes the entire play and its very good. Abandons her children at-home but who cares. Being a mother at home raising kids well may be a burden to hollywood types. Sorry folks this trash is a maudeline, pompous, grief laden pseudopornographic waste of time, save for get oscar. The score is very much the same. I wouldn't give JB an oscar for her performance of some dull superstitious child murderer, id give it to her for somehow giving a **** and getting through it. Shes a slovenly shambles, an antisocial dullard forcing herself on society, being terrible but demanding respect despite her vile personality. Some kind of weird connection with nature. Just give her a bubbling cauldron and the pointy hat and bam, spirit Halloween witch. Im pretty shocked frankly and just ask myself why would they do this again. Running out of men to demolish i suppose. Sassy get outta my way type they push nowadays. Its actually just rudeness and bitter resentful behavior, not admirable. Oh also ripped off the witch from way back. Like does to the house and stuff where that son died. Only with that one it actually had weight. With this one I see the children die and actually feel nothing. Incredible.
