1st body paragraph (Claudius and Hamlet's relationship)

In both videos, Olivier and Branagh interpret Claudius and Hamlet's relationship differently. Olivier envisions Claudius as very condescending towards Hamlet as Claudius never gives eye contact and keeps walking around the room as if this situation is of very little importance. Claudius belittles Hamlet's hardships and makes it seem that Hamlet's father's death isn't a big deal. Olivier also portrays Gertrude in contrast to Claudius as she is very loving and understanding towards Hamlet's situation and tries to help Hamlet out in any way she can. However in Branagh's version, Claudius is much more interested and has constant eye contact with Hamlet. He also seems very reasonable and sentimental towards Hamlet's situation. And even though we know Claudius killed Hamlet's father, Branagh shows that Claudius is two-faced as he pretends that he actually cares about Hamlet. Both of these videos emphasize different views of the same scene, even though they dictate the same words.
