Film Recommendation: Hamnet: Life Before Hamlet. What can I say about the film? The author displays incredible sensitivity. In the film, we don't see Shakespeare, but rather the man, the father, the husband, and the weight of his absences and choices. This humanizes the myth and reveals that art always springs from a much greater depth than we imagine. It is born from pain, from bonds, and from the people around us. It's a vision that shifts the focus from the stage to real life. It also makes us ask, "What did Shakespeare experience to create such genius?" And it's important to emphasize "the people around us" because the author brings back a woman who has been erased by history. In real life, there is almost no information about his wife (or his personal life). The film transforms Agnes into the protagonist and shows us that before the genius, there was a man surrounded by real people, and that this part of his life has never been told. Seeing the narrative from her point of view is powerful because it reveals the invisible strength of women, restores humanity to the myth, and reminds us that no work is born alone. Hamnet is not just about Shakespeare, it's about everything that shaped him and made him transform life into art.
