Hamlet Page #2

Synopsis: Danish silent movie-star Asta Nielsen formed her own production company to make this film, in which new elements are combined with features (and a few lines) familiar from Shakespeare's version of the legend. The most important of these changes sees Hamlet made into a female character - a princess forced to masquerade as a man by her scheming mother; from this follows Hamlet's secret passion for Horatio and rivalry with Ophelia for his love. Queen Gertrude is here presented as conspiring in her first husband's murder, and the old king's ghost does not appear - young Hamlet merely hears a voice from the tomb and (apparently) dreams of him. In addition, Hamlet now kills Claudius (in a fire) immediately upon returning from Norway with an army led by old school- friend Fortinbras, and it falls to Gertrude to engineer Hamlet's death in the fencing match as well as kill herself by accidentally drinking the poisoned wine.

For important reasons of state, and despite all objections, immediately cut off the head of the escorts.

Claudius

King of Denmark

To the executioner's block with both of them!

King Fortinbras decided to help his friend and to free Denmark from its criminal king.

On to Denmark!

End of Act 5

Act 6

Did you call me, darling? - I come Hamlet, I come!

On the way to Denmark

Hamlet hurries ahead of the Norwegian army.

When the morning dawns, we'll strike. The new sun, Hamlet, should see you on the throne.

Is this an illusion? Hamlet lives?

Don't worry, uncle. Let's keep the funeral dinner going!

Tonight Ophelia will be buried.

The Church has no prayers for a suicide!

Darling, poor sister!

For father and sister, I demand satisfaction! At the break of dawn I challenge you to a duel!

Woe! Claudius!

In this duel both you and I will take revenge! - I know a way to help you win it.

And if you do not strike him, he shall drink death from my hand!

I am not cowardly, but a vague foreboding oppresses my heart!

Drink, brave Hamlet!

The wrong goblet! Poison!

Only death betrays your secret! That you had the golden heart of a woman! Too late, to be lovers, too late!

I wanted to help you ascend to the throne, but your wings were broken on the steps.
