<<A quick glance at their bios will clue you to the
major difference between these two. Mel is a movie tough
guy.
Lee Marvin was a tough guy. Period.>>
Also, Lee Marvin never did a shitty Hamlet. Gibson's Hamlet,
which I watched the other night, was pathetic. He was mugging
for the camera, his Shakespearean verse was insecure and
unconvincing. He conveyed very little emotion. It's true that
Gielgud may have spoiled the role for everybody else, just
like Chandler spoiled the romantic PI for everybody else, but
I expected more of Gibson, some approximation at least.
By the way, Glenn Close's diction was quite unsuitable and
she seemed lost. She was also mugging for the camera. Still,
I prefer her mugging to Gibson's.
I claim ontopicity because Hamlet is a noir story.
