The portrayal of the "To Be or Not To Be" Soliloquy by "Kenneth Branagh" in the HAMLET Film. #hamlet #kenneth_Branagh #film Branagh has the best "To be or Not to Be" speech. This was the first Hamlet that I saw, and I found this scene to be so powerful. The use of the mirrors is very moving, especially because the men are eavesdropping. I think it represents the idea that Hamlet is constantly being watched, yet he's very in-tune with himself. His soliloquies definitely display his most personal thoughts and the dilemmas his life holds.
