This week we watched the ending of the 1998 version of hamlet. Everyone that was a main character ended up dying, whether by poison or by blade. The king puts a pearl in the cup of wine that was for Hamlet, which had poison in it. After the 2nd round of Hamlets fencing match with his girlfriends brother, the king offers him the wine, which he denies. Then, the mother of hamlet takes the cup and drinks the wine. Realizing what just happened the king becomes sad. The 3rd round then starts and Laritiese goes for a cheap shot on hamlet with the poison blade, scratching his shoulder. They dual around the building and Hamlet ends up killing him. Then, as Hamlet watches his mother die, he goes after the king and slaughters him. First by throwing a rapier at him, then crushing him with a chandelier, then feeding him the poison drink. After all this, Hamlet begins to slowly die from the poisoned blade. After his death, an army invades their kingdom and are taken over as they have no leader to defend their palace.
