After Tyson raised the question in class today as to whether there exists
Hamlet porn, I just had to find out for myself (for the sake of humor!). To be honest, I already knew the answer -- no, not because I've seen it, but because the
internet simply has
everything.
After one Google query I came up with:
From the pages, never read before of Shakespeare's masterpiece, here it is the other side of Hamlet, the most famous prince of literature. You must absolutely watch this great movie- an unusual mix of humor and eroticism. (http://xploitedcinema.com/catalog/x-hamlet-p-5559.html)
I wonder how the Elizabethans would have reacted to this modern
adaption of the play; if they were truly as embracing of human sexuality as historically attributed, maybe this film is right up their alley (along with overly
enthusiastic Shakespeare fans).
Based off of the cover, it appears as though the director wants to focus on the background story of Ophelia's and Hamlet's relationship. . . judging from the back cover, it looks as though he agrees with Freud's analysis of Hamlet. . .
