#side note i have seen ppl cook the 2009 version too for the staging and having a kiss at all. WHICH I UNDERSTAND.#considering where in theater history it originated and what context it was originally used in. but like#w the context of both the actors' thoughts on the scene and how they talk about hamlet's disgust and betrayal#2009 version reads as fundamentally nonromantic/nonsexual to me. Like if it ended on a kiss on the cheek it would be the exact same#also how hamlet talks abt 'here hung lips that i have kiss'd' re: yorick it's like this form of affection between him and a parental figure#and in making the staging and the dynamic so uncomfortable BUT also rly emphasizing the parent/child relationship in the end#u get this smth that just. Hits you (me) so hard. w just how fundamentally broken these two ppl are#how they wish for a version of the other that no longer exists etc etc etc#hamlet#david tennant#side side note im remembering that one commenter that compared the scene of kilgrave and his mom to act 3 scene 4#to which i had a knee jerk reaction of getting so mad at because why would you compare hamlet to that thing#but also the sense of emotion that runs through both scenes is genuinely similar. the sense of betrayal and abandonment and childlike fury
