In the Zefferilli version Ophelia goes outside of the castle and talks to a random guard and talk to him about marrige. She then goes to the castle and asks for the queen of Denmark when the queen asks "what bringsyou here" she starts singing about her father's death.
In the Branagh version Ophelia is running around, singing and and acting weird as she sings about her father's death. The queen is questions Ophelia on why she is acting crazy and why she is singing random songs. She answers with weird movement while she is on the floor, she also tells that Her and Hamlet "Had some business going on".
In the Almereyda version nothing really tells much when Ophelia acts crazy and she doesn't sing in the scene. It only shows pictures that Laerates shows Ophelia. So nothing much happens in the scene with Ophelia.

To Be or Not To Be
Hamlet is giving a speeh on how if he should kill or not kill Cladius. He is repeadetly asking himself the question. He is also wondering if himself living can be a question. Hamlet is so confused he doesnt know what to do withbthe life he has right now. Hamlet quotes "To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death" I think he is saying that when we live we struggle of what we do in life, but when we die we lived a good life. In all of the "To Be or Not To Be" speeches in the movie two of the three the Hamlet show a little emotion while giving the speech. But The Zeffirelli version Mel Gibson as Hamlet shows emotion as he goes to the body of his dead father and tells how he is questioning death to himself.

Hamlet Ghost Scenes
In the first Ghost scene Hamlet in not terrified that he see's the ghost. In the scene there were no music playing while Hamlet was talking to the Ghost. The lighting in the movie was vey brilliant because it shows how the ghost appears and dissappears.
The second Ghost scene Hamlet is running in the woods to see the Ghost. While Hamlet was running in the woods music was playing. It was the type of music that can be heard in scary movies. The lightiung in the scene was very dark. While Hamlet was talking to the ghost flashbacks were being mesmerized by the Ghost.
The third ghost scene wasn't really helpful to me. There was no music while the scene was being started. The lighting was very original. There were no spcial effects in the scene. No flashbacks were seen in the third Ghost Scene.
