Everything in Hamlet is romantic~ Everything is done out of love, passion, revenge...all things springing from the very depths of love.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Ah. I guess you could make an argument there, though some might prefer to go with passion over romance, though I see the point. Love would have had it's role but I don't think it backed everything.

[Hermes]

Hamelt loved his family, and Ophelia, and her family.

His stepfather loved power.

His father loved he and his mother.

Ophelia loved Hamlet and her family.

Her brother loved her, and Hamlet.

Her father loved her and her brother.

Hamlet's mother loved EVERYONE.

Hamlet's friends(Yes, I can spell their names, but I will not subject readers to that XD) loved him.

The invading guy(But I forgot his name) loves his people.


Love fueled~

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Laertes, and I still think you're reaching a bit there Hermes. I imagine one could make those sorts of comments about almost any story. I'm still not buying Hamlet as a romance.

The movie- Rubber, was absolutely hideous.

[Echo-chan713]

Never heard of Rubber, sound a condom movie

[johnny]

I freaking LOVE horrible movies.

I blame Mystery Science Theater 3000 for me just not having the right reaction to awful films.

My favorite terrible movies have to be the Twilight films (so... much... pausing...), The Room, and Birdemic.

[Hermes]

It is a Romantic Tragedy, a tragedy of romance... I believe all terrible deeds are committed of Passion born from great love of something, or hate of another.

And what is one without the other?

also...you sure the invading guy was Laertes, not Ophelia's brother?

Wasn't it, like, fortinbras?

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Forgot about about him, but where was call for Laertes to be King by the people at one point. Part of the reason I'm not buying it is because some of what you mentioned feels like assumption, like who loves who and what not. Hamlet's mom loves everyone, apparently, but she doesn't actually do anything in the story with that love.

Hamlet loved his dad yes, but did his dad love him as much or was his dad just miffed about being killed and insisted on revenge even though it sense his song to ruin. The ghost doesn't exactly tell him to quit at any point.

Does his Uncle actually kill Hamlet's dad because of a love for power or maybe jealousy at what his brother has? Which would come from envy and not love. He doesn't love Hamlet enough to not knock him off the throne or conspire to get him killed. Would you say he hates Hamlet though?

Hamlet loves Ophelia, yes, but doesn't do a darn thing about it being that he's too pre-occupied with his own play at madness to actually do anything about it. He only really brings it up when she's dead.

Hard to say much abotu Rosencranz and Guildenstern (best I can come up with for spelling without looking :p) seeing as there was this whole beheading mess.

It's a revenge tragedy I would say, but revenge doesn't need love to be behind it, though it's a reason. There is love in the story, most particularly between Hamlet and his father, Halmet and Ophelia, and Hamlet and Horatio. However, if anything, it's love that doesn't do a darn thing. Hamlet doesn't even mention his dad when he finally kills his uncle.

Hamlet is a great man of inaction. Spends too much time thinking and planning and very little actually doing anything until is all too late for pretty much anything. Fortinbras showed up with nothing to fight.

Spanglish was a movie I hated....though that could've been the fact that I was forced to watch it for a college class.

It might not have sucked so bad if I didn't have to take NOTES during it >w<

[Hermes]

Spanglish was meh. It's okay once, never wanna see it again.

Quiet - I think it just depends on how you read into it. Best thing about great works like that ^_^

[Quiet Man Cometh]

And semantics of course, like one's definition of "Romantic: ;).

Heard of Spanglish, never felt the need to see it. I hate taking notes during movies though. Makes things a little extra annoying at times, expecially since I tend to spend all my time staring at note paper rather than watching the movie.

I never seem to like the movies I get stuck watching in classes, the exception being Du Levande for Swedish class. That was a curiosity.

[Hermes]

We had to watch the Patriot in a history class of mine, and take notes.

the first, and last, note in my book(as in, I wrote it twice)

Looked something like....

Do NOT piss off Mel Gibson OxO


Yes

I did whip out the red pen for it

[Echo-chan713]

We watched the Patriot in our U.S history, but he had to skip all of the good parts in the war because our teacher is a pacifist.

My question was, why would she have us watch a violent movie when she skips all of the violent parts

[Hermes]

I don't think people that are THAT pacifistic should be allowed to teach, imo.

Especially history =/

[Echo-chan713]

I know it makes me laugh XD I just drew in class. I've seen the Patriot a bagillion times that I could care less about it
