In Franco Zeffirelli's Hamlet, the ghost scene takes place in a very dark atmosphere, and it was also very gloomy. The ghost spoke in a raspy low voice which signifies how dead he actually is. This is not my favorite version of the ghost scene. I found it more gloomy then I imagined when I first read the scene.
In Kenneth Branaugh's Hamlet, the ghost scene takes place in a lonesome forrest. It is not dark out either. This is my favorite version of the ghost scene, and this is because i found that the forrest added a great deal of isolation to the scene, and I found the acting to be superb.
In Michael Almereyda's Hamlet it took place in an apartment building. This was my least favorite one, even though it was still well done, I prefered the other Hamlet's much more. The reason I think this is becausei feel it wasn't as powerful as i thought it should've been.
