blog 7

In video 1, I see that hamlet is frustrated because he begins to move around a lot fighting with himself and starts to points to things while moving showing how frustrated he is with his father. You can also see how frustrated when he says the lines “a little month, or ere those shoes were old with which she followed my poor father’s body like Niobe, all tears, why she, even she..” and then he begins to shout “OH GOD, a beast that’s wants discourse”. in this video you can also see his disgust that he has for both his mother and uncle and now his new step father, he starts to say that they couldn’t wait a month after his father died and they are marrying each other and he also is disgusted that his mother married her husband brother after the death. You can see the anger throughout the video how he moves and his face expression shows that if he could he would never let any of that to happen because he feels that it is wrong in many ways. I feel that in this video Hamlet is feeling grief because he feels that his mother was just playing a role when his father died acting like she was really sad and he also remembers how his mother would act when his father was alive and the affection she would show to Hamlet’s father.

In video 2, I can see that hamlet is depressed because his tone while the people are in the room is very depressive and he begins to cry after he is alone asking God for help. I also see anger come into his body after he begins to speak about his mother marrying his uncle after a month of his father death. When Horatio comes into the room and tells Hamlet that he came to see his father funeral but also his mother wedding you can hear sarcasm in both of their voices, like when Hamlet says “ …do not mock me follow student” and then Horatio says “…it followed hard upon” which I take that they both mean that Hamlet didn’t care for the death and she just needed someone to be married to.

In video 3, Hamlet shows disappointment by showing face expression by looking into the camera and explaining how he feels and what the reason of it and you can also see the anger he has for his mother by calling her a beast because she married his uncle and he shows the disappointment that his mother would do this to him.

In video 4, Hamlet shows how disgusted he is feeling because he first just start calmly but still speaking insults about his mother and uncle and he also shows how disgusted he felt when he saw his mother kiss his uncle and they ride off and Hamlet is speaking how his mother is frailty and slams the window close because he doesn’t want to think about it no more.

In video 5, Hamlet looks very destroyed because he is slamming himself into the gate and rolling all over the floor shouting to himself, while I do not understand what he is saying you can understand that he is upset, angry, disappointed, and is going crazy inside because what is happening, you can see that he is in pain because of betrayal because how using his hands grabbing on to the gates like if he was trap in there. He also looks like he is going insane.

The video that I like best is the Video 1 because it shows alot of expression in a little amount of time. He shows disapproval, frustration, betrayal,disgust, anger and grief. It also looks real and doesn't look like he is acting.

I guess video one doesnt cross into the lines of A mommas boy, or a psycho. He's just a human in pain and mourning. More touching i suppose.
