Another tragedy?

I've watched another tragedy movie, 'Hamlet'. The movie is actually an adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy play titled 'Hamlet'.

Hamlet, the prince of Denmark is the protagonist of the story while Cladius, his uncle is the antagonist who killed Hamlet's father. The story is about seeking for the truth of the King Hamlet's murder. In the story, the audience will notice that the story is actually a tragedy. Hamlet is seeking for revenge and tries to against Claudius with hope that Claudius will go to hell for his wrong deeds. Claudius tries to poison Hamlet by putting a poisoned pearl in Hamlet's drink. Unfortunately, the one who drinks the drink is the queen. The truth completely reveal after that. Even though Hamlet knows the truth, he also faces the death because he has been cut by a sword that poisoned on its point. Then, he gets really angry and kills Claudius by using the same sword and pour the poisoned drink right into Claudius's mouth. Finally, all them die.

It is a tragedy movie and it ends with the somber mood. Just like Oedipus Rex, it is also end with sadness. It is a good movie to watch.
