Favorite thing (?) that the 1996 Hamlet move did was make Hamlet look more like Claudius than his actual fucking father

Hamlet and Claudius look EXTREMELY similar and meanwhile Hamlet doesn't even look distantly related to his dad and that's beautiful to me. Of course that's how they look

Hamlet and Hamlet Sr. are obviously both antishippers because they both think incest is worse than murder. However what is often overlooked is that Claudius is also an antishipper because he needs to rationalize his own actions as Not Problematic to keep existing. It runs in the entire family. is this anything

Claudius is CANONICALLY bald. He was written to be bald. That man was BORN without hair. Or at least an extremely receded hairline. The top of his head is most definitely barren

trust me, the beans and I went back in the tardis and checked

btw THIS Is what I mean when I say elias has such strong claudius vibes

ik I said in the tags of that other post that elias treats jon the way claudius treats laertes but it's so.

it's just- the way they encourage and gently guide them to lean into their impulses to make increasingly destructive decisions

Rami Heuberger as Claudius appreciation post - Hamlet and Claudius part one

Their relationship is so good here. Because there *is* love there. Claudius does want everything to be fine between them-

-Hamlet very much dose not

There is some about Claudius' reaction here I can't-

Not to mention his reaction to realizing Hamlet killed Polonius

He's not plotting. He's not even angry. He's just *so* sad
