Ophelia - Sweet or Sour?

In reading Shakespeare's "Hamlet", act 1 scene 3; I had the pleasure in meeting Ophelia. In my mind, a reserved young lady, who thinks highly of her brother, Laertes, and his opinions. And since she is respectful to her brother and father I would think overall she is a well-rounded person with high morals for herself and others. In other words, I like her. I wouldn't mind sharing a conversation with Ophelia about if Hamlet is good enough or if Hamlet's love is real, she would be a really cool friend just saying. On another note, I thought that Shakespeare made her personality very subtle, she listened intently to whatever her brother and father had to say, and never cut in or made a snobby remark. She is so respectful and nice, she lets her brother and father tear Hamlet her supposed lover to shreds, and even more so she doesn't give any objection whatsoever. But, she appears indecisive about what her opinion of Hamlet is. It's good that she is cautious about if his love is true or not, but I think she lets her brother and father's opinion take over her own.

To get a full understanding of Ophelia, of course we have to take other people's opinions, such as movies! Lets call the movie interpretations: 1. D.P.P and 2. Zeffirelli. First number one D.P.P, I was annoyed by the actress who played Ophelia. The minute she said her first line, in such a "sure thing bro" type of tone, I wanted to pause the video and leave. This actress interpreted Ophelia as if she was chill her brother was leaving, and so relaxed over the fact her brother told her to take care of her heart from Hamlet. No, just no. I didn't like that actress at all. To me, I thought she had it all wrong from the "I don't really care what your saying" look I thought she had, and the immature teasing she tried so desperately to accomplish. In other words, I completely adored number two Zeffirelli's interpretation of Ophelia. The way the actress looked so innocent when you first saw her, I was like "Finally!" and "Bravo", now that is how I pictured Ophelia! The actress continued with sad looking expressions when her brother said good-bye, and a concerned tone in her voice when her brother was talking about Hamlet. To me, she was so much better! This actress gave me the timid but respectful Ophelia I had first imagined when Shakespeare first introduced me to her. And with that I thought that Zeffirelli's Ophelia set the right tone for the rest of the play, with her more genuine and trident true interpretation.
