However, at the same time, this change of point of view justifies seeing Ophelia although he enjoyed countless versions of Hamlet. It is also very well done and the setting is amazing. And I would like to emphasize daisy ridleybecause with Opheliathe image of the girl is deleted Star Wars. The interpreter is brutal and does what she can with a character that blurs more than we would like.
