The other performances are astounding, especially when it comes to Helena Bonham-Carter's moment of lunacy in Ophelia. She is a real character, with traits both despicable and kind. Close gives life to Gertrude that no one has been able to before or after. Glenn Close is amazing her motherly attitude and sincerity toward Hamlet is so much that one sometimes cannot feel anger towards her. He is passionate, powerful and the epitome of the son who has gone through hell over his father's death and incestuous marriage of his mother. Gibson doesn't allow the madness to overcome him.
His brooding and depressing personality is realistic. Mel Gibson has portrayed Hamlet in the most true-to-human nature as anyone ever has. I am sure if the Bard had a camera, he would have filmed and wrote the screenplay somewhat the same.
Zeferelli, although cut some seemingly vital parts to the play, made it his own, and created a beautiful tribute to Shakespeare.
