1
What if I told you that Hamnet is genius, not just for the story, but for the hidden details that director Chloe Zhao carefully put into every scene?
2
For instance, how Agnes wears red throughout the entire film, setting her apart from the black and white costumes worn by the common folk,
3
signifying how different she is from everybody else, and how, after Hamnet's death, her costume changes to a brown one,
4
signifying her grief and despair before changing back to red at the climax of the film
5
when she regains her hope once again.
6
These touches are deliberately placed by the filmmakers, and once you see them, you can't unsee them.
7
And once you notice them, you can't help but wonder why.
8
What are the filmmakers trying to say with these touches?
9
Let's dive into the deeper meaning of Hamnet together.
10
First off, Hamnet features lots of scenes set around tables, like this table in Agnes's house, which she returns to after meeting William for the first time.
11
We see it again in a flashback Agnes has of her mother teaching her and her brother how to work with plants.
12
Then this table at William's house, where he has dinner with his family and later tells them of his love for Agnes.
13
Then we have this table here with pitchforks above the fireplace that's featured when Shakespeare goes to London for the first time,
14
and then when Hammett and Judith trade places for a day, and then when William goes back to London after Hamnet's death.
15
One detail I love about this set is how the pitchforks above the fireplace reinforce themes from the story.
16
Chloe Zhao uses this set a lot for scenes where Shakespeare must leave his family and go back to London.
17
It's almost like William and Agnes represent the pitchforks here.
18
Agnes wants to stay close to her family and the forest, and William has to go to London to pursue his theater career.
19
William exits stage left in both scenes where he leaves for London, and Agnes seems to move right in both of these scenes.
20
They're moving in opposite directions, and it becomes a source of conflict when William's not there for Hamnet's death later on.
21
Speaking of tables, it is a table where Agnes and Shakespeare have sex for the first time.
22
Why not out in the woods?
23
Why a table of all places?
24
Then we have the scenes where Shakespeare sits at a table and writes his plays.
25
In one early scene, we watch him write the famous second scene in Act II of Romeo and Juliet.
26
Then this scene where William unravels in front of Agnes, featuring one long take that goes on for almost three whole minutes with no cuts.
27
I started my video talking about tables because I think it touches on one of the core messages of the film.
28
Hamnet is about so many things, but one theme that seems to come up over and over again is one of legacy, particularly what gets passed down from parent to child.
29
For example, when Agnes comes back into her house after meeting William, we see Joan swimming with the girls at the table,
30
while the boys write on parchment paper, perhaps practicing their Latin.
31
This scene has a stark contrast between a flashback Agnes has
32
of her mother sitting at the same table with Bartholomew and her teaching them how to make medicine from plants.
33
There's love and tenderness in that scene, which is so different from the cold, detached feel of this earlier scene with Joan.
34
Now, look at this dinner scene with William's family.
35
His father hits him and berates him, despite the fact William works to pay off his debts.
36
Contrast that scene with this one of William and his family sitting at the table preparing apples, possibly, for some sort of delightful pastry.
37
There's love and playfulness and color in this scene.
38
The contrast could not be more stark.
39
Finally, when Hamden and Judith trade places for the day, they come downstairs and see their grandmother polishing silver plates, cups, and candle holders at the table.
40
She tells them to calm down and behave like gentlewomen and gentlemen.
41
They then burst into laughter and join their mother and sister at the table in the other room to start peeling apples.
42
Why isn't their grandmother with her daughter-in-law or granddaughter here?
43
She's alone at the table in darkness polishing silverware.
44
Meanwhile, Agnes and Susanna sit in a bright room making delicious pastries.
45
It seems like Chloe's using tables to show what parents pass on to their children and how this shapes who they are.
46
One tangible example of this is the connection between the scene where Agnes
47
and William get busy and the scene with their children gathering around the table.
48
What's on the table and surrounding surfaces as Agnes and William start to, you know, apples.
49
Cool.
50
Now what is William's family preparing at the table later in the movie?
51
Apples again.
52
Rewind a little and we see apples again on the table when William first leaves for London and says goodbye to Agnes.
53
Also, apples tie into Hamlet the play in an important sense as the king is poisoned while sleeping in his orchard.
54
After William and Agnes consummate their love on this apple-ridden table, she gets pregnant.
55
This is the start of their family right here.
56
To me, it almost seems like Chloe's using apples as a metaphor for legacy as well.
57
We've all heard the phrase, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, signifying how children can be very much like their parents.
58
This is one of the central themes of the film.
59
William, right after he has his first child, experiences a profound sadness that's connected to his father.
60
This scene where he makes gloves with his dad
61
and the one after where he writes over candlelight in distress showcases this well.
62
He takes some abuse from his dad in this early scene before deciding, you know what, I'm stronger and younger than this idiot and I'm gonna leave because I can.
63
The following scene where William gets drunk while writing is one of the best in the film.
64
He talks about how he is a violent and dangerous man.
65
He says this right after he puts his father up against a wall and tells him to never hit him again.
66
I read this scene as he's afraid that he's just like his father, who hits him many times in the film.
67
The wound we see on William's head at the start of the film is from his father most likely as well.
68
So when he has this outburst, I feel like he scares himself and questions whether he's actually a good man.
69
questions whether he's just like his father.
70
Chloe puts even more emphasis on this theme with all the childbirth scenes she puts in the film.
71
One where Agnes goes into the woods to give birth to Susanna
72
and another very intense scene where she gives birth to twins in her new house.
73
Agnes in this scene struggles with the idea that she will be just like her mother as well who died in childbirth.
74
She, for a moment, believes she's going to die
75
while giving birth Just like her mom it's funny
76
because running parallel to this theme of children trying to be
77
different from their parents Runs one of kids turning out exactly like them we see this in William
78
and Agnes's children They are 100% their parents children
79
We see the girls captivated at their mothers teaching them how to work with plants to create medicine and Hamnet
80
Captivated at the idea of working at the theater with his father.
81
They're joyful kids We see this again with Agnes, Bartholomew, and their mother, who teaches them how to make medicine from plants as well.
82
Agnes' mother is a beautiful soul who lives a lot differently from the people of her time.
83
Agnes ends up becoming just like her, a forest witch, as William's mom calls her.
84
Ironically, it seems Agnes, Bartholomew, and her mother are happier than everybody else of that time.
85
William's parents and Agnes's mother represent two polar opposite worldviews.
86
For example, after Agnes and Bartholomew visit William and his parents for the first time, they have this exchange.
87
What would our mother say to us if we were afraid or uncertain?
88
To live with our hearts open.
89
To shut it not in the dark, but to turn it to the sun.
90
This exchange happens right after Bartholomew expresses fear about William's upbringing, saying, He's dead quiet in that. In where?
91
The house.
92
It's clear that William's family is not a family of love or hope.
93
His father constantly berates him, telling him he's useless and a waste of space.
94
His mother takes one look at Agnes and says she's a forest witch, and that I'd rather you went to sea than marry this witch.
95
We later find out that William's mother lost a few children to the plague.
96
Two babies and one seven-year-old.
97
We understand how someone like her could, to use Agnes's words, shut her heart in the dark.
98
Hamnet takes place in a dark time.
99
The plague is everywhere in London in the film, as seen by the carts full of body bags that William walks past in certain scenes.
100
You can understand why people living amongst so much death could feel such despair.
101
Remember, it's only when William meets Agnes that his life starts to change.
102
Why is he attracted to her?
103
I think it's because she's so different from everybody else.
104
Let's talk about costume design throughout the film.
105
If you didn't already notice, Agnes wears a red dress in basically every scene.
106
After Hamna dies though, she wears a brown dress for about 15 minutes of the film, until she follows William to London to see his play.
107
I think Agnes' red dress ties into what she says about turning your heart to the sun, in moments of fear or uncertainty.
108
It's my strong feeling that Agnes' red costume design is meant to represent her as the sun itself.
109
When William tells Agnes he wants to marry her, he walks around her in a circle multiple times, touching her shoulder as he walks past.
110
The first thing
111
that came to mind watching this is how this choreography makes it seem like Agnes is the sun that William orbits around.
112
William's seen writing Romeo and Juliet while falling in love with Agnes, and in that famous play,
113
Romeo calls Juliet the sun and tells her to arise and kill the envious moon.
114
The famous phrase from Hamnet is that we must turn our hearts towards the sun, right?
115
Well, right before William and Agnes get married, she tells him Look at me.
116
what she does, turning around to do so.
117
At the end of the film, during the play, as William walks toward the side of the stage, she tells him to Look at me.
118
So he literally turns to look at her, the sun of his life, which directly ties into this famous phrase we hear in the movie.
119
Let's compare Agnes' costume design with William's parents and family.
120
His family doesn't wear any color at all, opting instead for black and white clothing.
121
The village they live in is pretty colorless as well, which contrasts sharply with the bright colors of the forest and gardens around Agnes' family home.
122
It feels like we're comparing something that's alive with Agnes and her family with something that's dead with William's family.
123
One last thing about costumes.
124
William wears this jacket here that has all these perforations in it, almost like someone's poked holes in his jacket with a sword.
125
We see him practicing the sword a lot with his son Hamnet, and we see a big sword fight later in the play that's very important.
126
I got the sense that it might signify how much people have cut William in his life, poking him full of holes, trying to bring him down.
127
William is a wounded man in the film.
128
He literally has a wound on his forehead when we first see him teaching the boys Latin.
129
It's a wound that Agnes helps him mend with herbal medicine.
130
I believe this is a metaphor for what Agnes does to William in general.
131
She mends him, changing his life.
132
Hamnet may be about legacy, yes, but it's also about change and how art and love can catalyze change in people.
133
It's also about radical hope in a dark, dark world and how being hopeful can be a rebellious act in and of itself.
134
It's interesting because just like Agnes saves William, he saves her in her moment of deepest despair at the climax of the film.
135
Throughout the movie, Chloe plays around with imagery of darkness and abyss.
136
In the first few shots of the film, Agnes sleeps next to a dark hole in the ground in the forest.
137
After Susanna is born, there's a scene where William swims in the nearby river, and in one shot, he sinks down into the dark abyss below.
138
In another scene, when William visits Agnes in the woods, He stops right in front of this big dark hole in the ground
139
while talking to her a piece of scene Choreography and camera framing that I don't think was unintentional
140
Not to mention what Agnes tells William she sees when she touches his hand.
141
I saw landscape, tunnels and oceans, this deep dark black void.
142
Many scenes in Hamnet are very dark as well, like when William sits down to write his plays, or after Hamnet's death as the family has dinner around the table,
143
or when William speaks with Agnes here in their room, or when William ponders suicide
144
and stands over the dark ocean below him reciting the famous to be or not to be speech.
145
Then finally we have the deep dark black doorway that's cut in the middle of this beautiful set dressing in Hamlet,
146
a visual callback to the deep dark black void in the forest that Agnes sleeps next to.
147
Earlier in the movie Agnes, I think, falls in love with William after tells her the story of Orpheus and Eurydice.
148
There are many callbacks to this story throughout Hamnet.
149
In the story, Orpheus loses his wife Eurydice to a snakebite on their wedding day
150
and journeys to the underworld to save her and bring her back to the surface.
151
Hades allows it on the condition that she must follow behind him
152
and he must not look back or else she'll be trapped in the underworld forever.
153
At the end of the film, much like Eurydice, Agnes follows William to London for the first time.
154
When she sees him on stage and he turns to walk to the back, she tells him to look at me, and he does,
155
which I think is a callback to Orpheus turning around to look at his wife while journeying to the surface.
156
So, what saves Agnes in the end?
157
I believe the same things many others have expressed about the ending.
158
The fact that William uses this play to process his own grief, and that this play ensures Hamnet lives on in some way and honors his memory.
159
She appreciates that, but I also think
160
that somehow she remembers what her mother told her to do when she feels afraid or uncertain.
161
To live with our hearts open, to shut it not in the dark, but to turn it to the sun.
162
She motions to her heart as she sees Hammond walk through the dark door, a reference, I think, to this beautiful phrase from her mother about living with our hearts open.
163
This creed describes our world.
164
It is a brutal, unforgiving world, filled with pain.
165
Most people shut their heart in this darkness, becoming bitter.
166
I believe Hamlet has a motif of sheep that it uses to express this point.
167
William's mother says this at the start of the film.
168
Latin for boys who will be naught but sheep farmers.
169
It is the putting on a bed.
170
Joan asks Agnes where she was at the start of the movie and she says, Where have you been?
171
I was in the field helping Bartholomew, newborn lamb is unwell.
172
Many times in frames of certain shots we see sheep and people working with sheepskin around Williams house
173
Not to mention that gloves and glove making the type of business
174
that Williams father has were made out of sheepskin in these days We know
175
that sheep are often used as a metaphor for people following the herd
176
and being like everybody else I think Chloe is trying to
177
show just how common shutting your heart in the dark really is how easy it is to be the person
178
that society expects you to be.
179
At the end of the film, a banner unravels outside Shakespeare's theater.
180
It reads, A Latin phrase meaning,
181
Meaning that many human beings act how society expects them to act.
182
We're all actors at the end of the day.
183
Someone who's very much not concerned with what society thinks of her is Agnes.
184
She, for most of the movie, decides to not live how the people of that time lived.
185
She also, with help from her mother, decides to not shut her heart in darkness and keep her heart open instead.
186
Chloe Zhao, I think, is trying to show just how unique it really is to have hope in a dark world and keep your heart open.
187
And finally, she shows how this rule can transform us in moments of intense grief and despair if we simply remember it.
188
