This scene gives me chills.. Mel Gibson and Glenn Close are brilliant.... They bring a level of depth, to this interpretation of Shakespeare's Masterpiece, that Trancends all others I have seen. Their portrayal is matchless.. and deserves an Oscar. Shakespeare would be proud....
An underrated adaptation. When I had checked the DVD out back in 1990s from my local Video Store, as much as it was Mission Impossible to get a hold of a Steven Seagal flick, the John Turturro doppelgänger manager had to LITERALLY grab a chamois to release a Milky Way dust from the DVD box. That haunting vision has never departed from me.
Gibson taps into Hamlet's rage in this scene better than Branagh or even Olivier do. You have to be really unhinged to just stab through a tapestry on a whim, and Mel Gibson is nothing if not unhinged (in this scene and irl).
Hamlet expresses no remorse after he kills Polonius. After Hamlet stabs Polonius Hamlet asks if it is the king, and then he turns around, and almost in the same breath, lectures his mother on how to behave. Hamlet's conscience has become twisted. He thinks he is justified in doing anything to avenge his father's death. As it becomes apparent in later scenes, Hamlet's conscience is telling him he is not being violent enough. The closest he comes to expressing remorse over the death of Polonius is when Hamlet says "Of this lord I do repent", as if that can absolve him of guilt. He says it in an offhand way, almost as an afterthought. Hamlet knows there will be heavy repercussions for his murder of Polonius, but to Hamlet that is just court politics.
Im really shocked how Mel Gibson was not even nominated for the Oscars for his role. He portrayed it amazingly. Glenn Close also should have at least gotten nominated for her supporting role.
At 1:13 Polonius should have been bleeding! How could Hamlet stab Polonius to death and not extract blood from his body? It's clearly not possible! >:(
+Alex T Generally in movies, especially ones with a wide audience, they do not show any blood. It is for sensitive viewers and for not having something distracting from the plot or dialogue. They generally only show a little bit of blood just to indicate the place of the stabbing or shooting, but none more than that. Why do you think Kokuom has no blood when he is shot in Pocahontas, not even when he falls into water?
@@supermushroomDX If you keep watching (not in this clip though) you do see a pool of blood, he stabbed him lower down so you don't see it in this frame.
Branagh's version is awful. I realize that most critics loved it when it was released but I, and most people I know, find it hard to get through the film without bursting into laughter. It's so amazingly over-the-top that it's beyond comical (matrix rapier anyone?) It's a shame since I really liked Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing.
there is some great acting in here ,but Mel Gibson screaming in the beginning when hamlet mother is trying to leaving is not good but other then that well done
"Your husband's brother's wife" I love Shakespeare.
It's so snarky, it's amazing.
The Kung Fu Master of English grammar 🙌
Gertrude: Nay then, I'll set those to you that can speak.
Hamlet: RRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYIIIIAAAAAAAGGGHHTT!!!!!!!!

Best Hamlet ever; the rest of it and the play scene are so great.
Son you have your father most offended.Mother you have my father most offended. haa haa!!!!
much, not most
'go, go you question with a wicked tongue' is the best-delivered line, i've seen, like, ever
I love that when he finds out it’s polonius he actually feels sorry for him
Farewell, dear Bilbo.
I don't know what you three are talking about! This is one of the best productions of this scene. Mel Gibson plays Hamlet's insanity superbly.
0:27 When your mom takes away your 3Ds
So true lmao
Who else thinks that was the best portrayal of Polonius? Rip. Poor guy.
nope didn't yell I am slain
I've always thought Glenn Close was the best Gertrude in any film version here - a perfect performance of fear & shock at what Hamlet says & does.
Mine too!
Only problem - Sir Ian Holm does NOT yell 'I am slain!' like Polonius does
Polonius does that
I missed that part too.

Perfect casting. Brilliant actor.
Haven’t seen Olivier’s but Branagh was extremely unhinged and filled with rage when he did this scene
He also didn’t do that weird animal like roar
Gibson in amazing as Hamlet!
Acting masterclass
OMG, best Hamlet ever! Saw this opening weekend and can't ever forget about it.
"Are you playing at being mad?"
Who says I'm fuckin playing, mommy?
Oh... Look a sneaky spy in a court of snakes... Skewered.
"He has been kind of hard to deal with lately".
"Ophelia he stabbed your dad through a curtain".
-sassy gay friend
Glenn is the best actress of the world
I like the other scene where Hamlet throws a fit realizing how his father's ghost was right!
Jel ima neki program
"When ur a clowwwn, nobody takes you seriouslyyyyy"
That scream though
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

"I hide behind curtains because I have a fear of being stabbed;"
0:28 you messed up big time, Gertrude...
This movie is 30 years old.
0:28. At least he didn't go all Riggs on her. lol
I love this movie)
This is a wonderful rendition!
Mel Gibson is Amazing!
It had to be cut off because that's where the incest comes in.
@genesisunkn0wn props for being crazy enough to say it lol
I used to think Gibson was channeling Martin Riggs with the scream; but I’m guessing it was really a part of himself.
This goes to show why you should never stalk anyone: if you're found, you're dead literally.
You are not wrong.
Best Hamlet, EVER!
Nobody:
Literally not a single soul:

Yes, definitely the most underated film and performance of Mel gibson!
Wow the acting!!
lovely !♥ Mel
Genial escena :D
Glenn Close perfetta cattiva del cinema qui è una Geltrude ottima
Mel Gibson was dramatic as an actor and very integral As a director.
Nice job,Mel🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Now that’s a lion king I see there 🦁
yo someone got an mp3 download of that scream?
Wow This Is Just Amazing
Мне понравилась эта версия Гамлета.она отличается от многих.
If only he had taken the trouble to pull back the curtain before stabbing, none of the other characters would have died. 😓
Love Mel
The absolute greasest rendition of Hamlet, ever!
0:28 RUUCHHHH!!!!

"Polonius?! What are you doing back there?"
"I hide behind curtains, because I have a fear of being stabbed"
TO THINE OWNSELF BE TRUE
@ LexiixoxRoxx~
Agreed. Some of the scenes are just awkward to watch.
Clip 1

I know this is a late response, but you are so right on the money. His Henry V was far superior.
David Beier Ironic you say that. I can't stop laughing at Gibson's war cry at 0:26 xD
Well, I did major in English.
Does anyone know what act and scene is this?
Act 3, scene 4.
0:28
there is some great acting in here ,but Mel Gibson screaming in the beginning when hamlet mother is trying to leaving is not good but other then that well done
lol
Mason Carpenter nothing bad about that part

Better than Branagh me thinks.
