We hear she was underneath a \u2018willow\u2019 by a \u2018glassy stream\u2019 making \u2018garlands\u2026of nettles, daisies and long purples\u2019 until she fell in and, dazed by heartbreak, \u2018her clothes spread wide\u2026mermaid-like\u2019 until \u2018heavy with their drink\u2019 they \u2018pull\u2019d the poor wretch\u2026to muddy death\u2019. It was the inspiration for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tate.org.uk\/art\/artworks\/millais-ophelia-n01506\/story-ophelia\" target=\"_blank\">Millais\u2019 famous portrait<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Such passages in Shakespeare are common. He will suddenly, in the middle of the play, have characters veer off into a poetic vision so beautifully drawn it\u2019s like we\u2019re being asked to imagine a painting. When Romeo spies Juliet, she \u2018hangs upon the cheek of night, Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope\u2019s ear\u2019. It\u2019s a perfect de<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ion of fancying someone at a party. She\u2019s like a gem glimmering in the darkness. Cleopatra arriving in her \u2018golden\u2019 barge that \u2018burned on the water\u2019 is like a flame that blazes into Anthony\u2019s life. He deeply understood the power of the image. He would have been the most fantastic film director.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, being Shakespeare, he\u2019s too wise to simply romanticise Ophelia\u2019s death. We come back to earth with a bump at the end of this speech with her \u2018muddy death\u2019. The line stops short, a third of the length of the rest, to reflect its brutality, as do the simple, blunt words.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201c\u2026the film deeply understands the terrible reality of bereavement. The death of an eleven-year-old child and its effect on the parents is dramatised in some of the most heartbreaking scenes you will see in the cinema.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Chloe Zhao\u2019s HAMNET works like this, too. Her images are exquisite. Half of them look like Vermeer paintings. The production designer creates the most convincing Shakespearean England I\u2019ve ever seen, but Zhao\u2019s lens also allows us to enjoy the beauty of white aprons in the morning light of a Tudor kitchen. The camera swoons over nature, swooping with hawks, up through the leaves of an oak in springtime and racing along with young lovers in a wood.<\/p>\n<p>And yet the film deeply understands the terrible reality of bereavement. The death of an eleven-year-old child and its effect on the parents is dramatised in some of the most heartbreaking scenes you will see in the cinema. It is never traumatising, the lens carefully swinging away from one moment that would have been too much, but it does not gloss over the horror. There is no movie-crying here. Jessie Buckley\u2019s scream after her son dies will stay with you long after the film has finished.<\/p>\n<p>Both Shakespeare and Zhao acknowledge the beauty of grief, which is, of course, a form of love, as well as its horrific reality. Whatever you have lost will be touched upon when you see this film. Tears streamed down my face, my breath coming in shudders by the end. But Zhao\u2019s images remind you again and again to pay attention to the wonder of life. Whatever you have lost, the film reminds us, you are here, and life is extraordinary.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhatever you have lost, the film reminds us, you are here, and life is extraordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Shakespeare was also obsessed with how similar to life a play was: \u2018all the world\u2019s a stage\u2019. What he meant was that it\u2019s a brilliant blaze and then it\u2019s over. Again, there\u2019s pain as well as beauty in its ending, but it\u2019s worth experiencing, which was presumably why he wrote thirty-four of them. As Maggie O\u2019Farrell so imaginatively explored in <em>Hamnet<\/em> the novel, <em>Hamlet<\/em> was almost undoubtedly where Shakespeare worked out the agony of losing his eleven-year-old son four years earlier. Hamlet is suicidal because Shakespeare knew how normal it was to feel, whilst grieving, that you can\u2019t go on. Here, again, the director and the playwright meet. Every moment of Zhao\u2019s film works. She doesn\u2019t put a foot wrong. It\u2019s real, it\u2019s funny, it\u2019s carefree, it\u2019s deep. To talk about loss, she, too, has created something sublime.<\/p>\n<p>See it in a cinema. Let the full force of those images and performances wash over you. You will weep and you will marvel and you will leave feeling glad to be alive.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/xYcgQMxQwmk?si=QuJxYeYU6FBGXYeU&amp;controls=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
