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.
