Nosy father

And so it seems my case has yet been proven
As to the source of Hamlet's sudden grief
Clear as day it is to me my daughter
is the one at fault for our young prince's
broken heart, dashéd to the smallest bits
of the soul

Tragedy in the Big Apple.

Almereyda's interpretation, in my opinion, was the absolute best. His modernization made the play more accessibly current and engaging with the characters dressed in contemporary wear, supported by current music. I also found Hamlet's soliloquy to be the strongest amongst the three films, because it was portrayed as a thought rather than spoken aloud.
