Today in class we watch two more versions of Hamlet. They were the Derek Jabobi and Nicol Williamson versions. Both versions used close ups which gave it more a movie feel than being at a broadway production. Nicol Williamson had a calm and depressed sounding voice. He gave the impression that he was actually saying the words to himself instead of thinking them. Jacobi also spoke in a calm tone. He gave the impression of being more angry than crazy. His voice was also very high pitched. The Jacobi version shows Hamlet with a wooden sword showing him "acting" tough. Jacobi spoke to the audience and not just to himself. At the end, Jacobi portrays Hamlet as truely crazy.
