In my review of Hamlet I watched Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet 1996, a film spread for four hours and rated as the most famous Shakespearean movie. It incorporates complete Shakespeare text. The movie is unique compared to previous hamlets as it includes Fortinbras by using visual details of and has removed sexual tension. I have also used Rosencrantz, and Guildenstern are dead film for analysis as well as Lion King which offers insights to depict the various versions of the themes and actions. The traditional version is crowded with death where in the end everyone dies, and there is no hope for the future. On the other hand, the modern version display hopes where the good overcomes the evil and offers room for restoration of the society.
The movies offer a variety of observations which provides a comparison and contrast between the traditional version and the modern occurrences reflecting the themes. For example, Branagh's version of Hamlet provides political and military context using the Fortinbras army (Edwards, 2018). Lion King Movie depicts similarities to Hamlet in characters and themes especially shown by the figures in the role of the prince. However, the film also contrasts in several incidences. For example in Hamlet, the prince is indecisive in taking revenge which delays the fulfillment of revenge. Prince Hamlet has low self-esteem which makes him confused and fearful to make from decisions (Liang, 2017). On the other hand, the lion king, samba is courageous and hopeful in the face of adversity and remains loyal to fulfill his father wishes.

The movies have various inspirational incidents. There is always room to discover the evils and revenge them. In Hamlet and Lion King the ghosts of the fathers emerge to reveal to their sons the cause of their death and encourage them to defeat the evil. It is funny and exciting to discover the similarities in Hamlet and The Lion King movie. Hamlet and the Lion King Scar and Claudius reflect the evil uncles ho kill their brothers through innocent accidents to have the throne. The resemblance in characters and themes are surprising.
The telling of the stories resonates with me in meaningful ways. It is connected to my view and approach on the revenge and the growing pains that life throws in my direction. The experiences of the princes bring out the impact of emotions and conflicts in life. Conflict with others and with self is a collective experience; the story helps me to connect my experiences, actions, and thoughts in the struggle to mature and discover what life entails. The crisis in the story describes the nature of life in relationships, debating with the self, lack of confidence, blaming others and feeling the pressure to imitate role models in behavior, virtues, and development. The analysis shows that the first line of Hamlet signals central themes and actions which reflect the future outcomes of the play and the future consequences. Compared to the Lion King, both moves first line brings out the central themes and actions.
If as to give the movie a thumbs up or thumbs down, I would offer different rating the films. To my friends, I would recommend the Lion King version as simple to interpret, relate to the incidents and understand due to the simplistic nature used by Disney to tell the story. It is funny, entertaining, suspenseful and informative my parents would resonate more with Hamlet in the by Kenneth Brayan due to its diverse approach with a political, comical, military, friendship, relationship and family issues which connects to parental needs.
Hamlet and the Lion King films with their similarities n themes, character and plot would be suitable for teacher evaluations and analysis. Both movies would provide an ample and diverse approach to social political, economic and psychological aspects of individuals (Edwards, 2018).The different accounts to friends, parents, and teachers are dependent on the level of understanding, interests' activities and significance.
