Thesis: The two Hamlet movies differ in Major Relationships, the Settings, and the Director's Choices.
Depiction of Major Relationships:
Kenneth Branagh's movie:
1. Claudius and Gertrude: Hug each other, Holding hands. Gertrude seems to suspect Claudius of something. When he was talking to her once, she refused to talk to him.
