What is your best idea in comparing two films? The mother/son relationship in regards to Gertrude's interactions with her husband, Claudius, in the versions: Mel Gibson (1990) and David Tennant BBC (2010).
Mel Gibson and David Tennant both direct utterly distinct interpretations of Act I, scene 2 in their film versions of the play, Hamlet. Gibson chooses privacy over a responsive ensemble and a casual, family orientated setting. Although Tennant does establish a fairly small ensemble in the second scene, he designates the primary focus on Hamlet, Gertrude, and Claudius, in a modern, rigid environment. Although Gertrude remains flirtatious, she does not sustain sincerity and tenderness in both features. Gertrude's relationship with her son in Gibson's Hamlet illustrates affection and earnestness; however, Tennant's approach to their relationship exposes anger, isolation, and beguilement, which reveals the compelling reason why she naturally resides with Claudius for most of the scene.
