HAMLET, WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
To die, to sleep -
To sleep, perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub,
For in this sleep of death what dreams may come...

Now cracks a noble heart. Good night sweet prince:
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!

O pale Ophelia! beautiful as snow!
Yes child, you died, carried off by a river!
- It was the winds descending from the great mountains of Norway
That spoke to you in low voices of better freedom.
- Arthur Rimbaud

Kenneth Branagh costumes [2/?] → Hamlet’s black military uniform (+ shorter jacket variation) in Hamlet (1996)
"Branagh's Hamlet is conceived as a soldier. When we first encounter him, he is dressed in a trim black military uniform, in stunning contrast to the white and gold glitter of Claudius and his court. [...] Branagh's Hamlet is distinguished by having taken his cue from Fortinbras's final pronouncement that he should have a soldier's funeral, for had he been "put on" he should have proved "most royal." Branagh's Hamlet, like his military uniform, is neat, trim, precise. He has a racing mind and a keen wit. He is interested in fencing lessons taking place at the court, and one can believe this Hamlet when he boasts to Horatio that "I shall win at the odds" in the match with Laertes. If he has a dark side, it is his military alter ego: Rufus Sewell's Fortinbras."
- Samuel Crowl, Shakespeare at the Cineplex: The Kenneth Branagh Era
