This paper discusses that, from "Hamlet" ,you can understand the general techniques Olivier would employ in his other Shakespearean
films. The author points out that Olivier transformed Hamlet from a dark and moody stage
performance to a dark and moody film performance; thus, he has, in every aspect, maintained not only the theme and plot of the play, but even its scene settings. The
paper concludes that Olivier is a great, versatile director, like Kurosawa, who not only made movies for the sake of attaining success, but also for giving integral messages to movie viewers through the art of film making.
