The flash-forward dissolves and in the same location at a separate time, Francisco, a sentry, is relieved of his watch by another sentry, Bernardo, who, with yet another sentry, Marcellus, has twice previously seen the Ghost of King Hamlet. Marcellus then arrives with the sceptical Horatio, Prince Hamlet's friend. Suddenly, all three see the Ghost, and Horatio demands that the Ghost speak. The Ghost vanishes then, without a word. </p><p>Inside the Great Hall of the castle, the court is celebrating the marriage of <a href="/wiki/Gertrude_(Hamlet)" title="Gertrude (Hamlet)">Gertrude</a> and <a href="/wiki/King_Claudius" title="King Claudius">King Claudius</a>; old <a href="/wiki/King_Hamlet" class="mw-redirect" title="King Hamlet">King Hamlet</a> has died apparently of an accidental snakebite, and his wife, Gertrude, has, within a month of the tragedy, married the late King's brother. <a href="/wiki/Prince_Hamlet" title="Prince Hamlet">Prince Hamlet</a> sits alone, refusing to join in the celebration, despite the protests of the new King. When the court has left the Great Hall, Hamlet fumes over the hasty marriage, muttering to himself the words "and yet, within a month!" </p><p>Soon, Horatio and the sentries enter telling Hamlet of the ghostly apparition of his father. Hamlet proceeds to investigate, and upon arriving on the battlements, sees the Ghost. Noting that the Ghost beckons him forward, Hamlet follows it up onto a tower, wherein it reveals its identity as the Ghost of Hamlet's father. He tells Hamlet that he was murdered, who did it, and how it was done. Claudius poured poison into the late King Hamlet's ear, thereby killing him. Hamlet does not at first accept this as the truth, and then prepares to feign madness, so as to test Claudius' conscience, without jumping to conclusions. </p><p>This feigned insanity attracts the attention of <a href="/wiki/Polonius" title="Polonius">Polonius</a> who is completely convinced that Hamlet has gone mad. Polonius pushes this point with the King, claiming that it is derived from Hamlet's love for <a href="/wiki/Ophelia_(character)" class="mw-redirect" title="Ophelia (character)">Ophelia</a>, Polonius's daughter. Claudius, however, is not fully convinced, and has Polonius set up a meeting between Hamlet and Ophelia. Hamlet's "madness" is constant even in this exchange, and Claudius is convinced. </p><p>Hamlet then hires a group of wandering stage performers, requesting that they enact the play <i>The Murder of Gonzago</i> for the king. However, Hamlet makes a few alterations to the play, so as to make it mirror the circumstances of the late King's murder. Claudius, unable to endure the play, calls out for light, and retires to his room. Hamlet is now convinced of Claudius' treachery. He finds Claudius alone, and has ample opportunity to kill the villain. However, at this time, Claudius is praying, and Hamlet does not seek to send him to heaven, so, he waits, and bides his time. </p><p>He instead confronts Gertrude about the matter of his father's death and Claudius' treachery. During this confrontation, he hears a voice from the <i><a href="/wiki/Tapestry" title="Tapestry">arras</a></i>, and, believing that it was Claudius eavesdropping, plunges his dagger into the curtains. On discovering that he has in fact, killed the eavesdropping Polonius instead, Hamlet is only mildly upset, and he continues to confront his mother. He then sees the ghostly apparition of his father, and proceeds to converse with it. Gertrude, who cannot see the Ghost, becomes convinced that Hamlet is mad. </p><p>Hamlet is deported to England by Claudius, who has given orders for him to be killed once he reaches there. Fortunately, Hamlet's ship is attacked by pirates, and he is returned to Denmark. In his absence, however, Ophelia goes mad over Hamlet's rejection and the idea that her own sweetheart has killed her father, and she drowns, supposedly committing suicide. <a href="/wiki/Laertes_(character)" class="mw-redirect" title="Laertes (character)">Laertes</a>, Ophelia's brother, is driven to avenge her death, as well as his father's. </p><p>Claudius and Laertes learn of Hamlet's return and prepare to have him killed.

He made as many as fourteen separate sound tracks. On one he had recorded fifty women shrieking; on another the groans of as many men; a third consisted of a dozen violinists scraping their bows across the strings on a single screeching note. These various tracks had then to be blended in different volumes and intensity until they produced a noise which seemed to him to resemble – on what authority is uncertain – 'the lid of hell being opened'. Supernatural horror was further increased by the pulsing heart-beat which heralded its every entrance. This sound, Olivier remembered, had been used by <a href="/wiki/Jean-Louis_Barrault" title="Jean-Louis Barrault">Jean-Louis Barrault</a> in a stage production in Paris; he made it doubly effective on the screen by bringing the camera in and out of focus to synchronize with the pulsing.

Over the years, however, it has lost some of its status, especially in competition with the unabridged <a href="/wiki/Hamlet_(1996_film)" title="Hamlet (1996 film)">1996 adaptation</a>, which many critics now consider superior, as well as the 1994 animated film <i><a href="/wiki/The_Lion_King" title="The Lion King">The Lion King</a></i> which was also based on <i>Hamlet</i>. The film has also been compared to Olivier's other Shakespearean adaptations, <i><a href="/wiki/Henry_V_(1944_film)" title="Henry V (1944 film)">Henry V</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Richard_III_(1955_film)" title="Richard III (1955 film)">Richard III</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some critics argue that Olivier overemphasised Hamlet's <a href="/wiki/Oedipal" class="mw-redirect" title="Oedipal">Oedipal</a> fixation on his mother, and that due to the omission of <a href="/wiki/Rosencrantz_and_Guildenstern" title="Rosencrantz and Guildenstern">Rosencrantz and Guildenstern</a>, two of the more important supporting characters in the play, the film lacks some of the play's best comedic moments. The duo's inclusion in later adaptations, such as the 1969 <a href="/wiki/Nicol_Williamson" title="Nicol Williamson">Nicol Williamson</a> – <a href="/wiki/Tony_Richardson" title="Tony Richardson">Tony Richardson</a> <i>Hamlet</i> and the 1990 <a href="/wiki/Mel_Gibson" title="Mel Gibson">Mel Gibson</a>/<a href="/wiki/Franco_Zeffirelli" title="Franco Zeffirelli">Franco Zeffirelli</a> version, both of which are shorter than Olivier's, counters Olivier's rationale that the play needed such drastic cuts to work on screen. <a href="/wiki/Kenneth_Branagh" title="Kenneth Branagh">Kenneth Branagh</a>'s 1996 film version of the complete <i>Hamlet</i> included everything that Olivier had omitted. It is worth noting, however, that the parts of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (and Osric) are reduced in the Richardson and Zeffirelli versions, and that Branagh's version is almost 90 minutes longer than Olivier's. </p><p> Noted film critic <a href="/wiki/Pauline_Kael" title="Pauline Kael">Pauline Kael</a> asserted that </p><blockquote><p>even if you feel that certain scenes should be done differently, when has the rest of the play been done so well? Whatever the omissions, the mutilations, the mistakes, this is very likely the most exciting and most alive production of <i>Hamlet</i> you will ever see on the screen.
