Grand Theft Hamlet," which debuts on Mubi Friday, is a documentary about how a group of friends brought "Hamlet" to life in Grand Theft Auto.
The article from MSN discusses how the video game "Grand Theft Auto V" (GTA V) incorporates themes and elements reminiscent of Shakespeare's "Hamlet." It explores the existential and moral dilemmas faced by the game's protagonists, which parallel Hamlet's own contemplations on life, death, and revenge. Specifically, the article highlights how the game's narrative structure, with its multiple protagonists each dealing with their own crises, mirrors the internal and external conflicts in "Hamlet." The piece also touches on how GTA V uses humor and satire to comment on modern societal issues, much like Shakespeare did in his time, thereby drawing a direct line from the Elizabethan tragedy to contemporary video game culture. This connection not only enriches the gaming experience but also underscores the timelessness of Shakespeare's themes in exploring human nature and societal critique.
