I remember seeing this movie well. I saw it in the theater--next to two people who apparently didn't know about the whole "we're not cutting anything out" thing. They weren't happy.
It must have made an impression because I was nodding along at everything you were saying. Having Hamlet seduce Ophelia in this movie basically showed just why it doesn't work at all. But it's still interesting.
It was also interesting that you brought up the Ethan Hawke version because I find myself comparing them too, I guess because they're such opposite extremes. I really liked the Ethan Hawke one too.
