Probing into the issues from the perspective of film semiotics, the aim of this paper is to analyze how the English Shakespearean filmmaker, Laurence Olivier, transforms the richly philosophical images and metaphors of Shakespearean languages into visual imagery in his film. The primary focuses of this paper are to investigate: I) How the director uses the mise-en-scene (especially the movements of camera and actors) to replace the verbal sounds and poetic rhythms, and relies mainly on the narrative abilities of image itself to convey the director's or characters' thoughts to the viewers; II) How the director exercises the intriguing connection and conjunction between space and object, both of which have their own signifying functions, to elaborate the characters' mental states in their soliloquies. The questions mentioned above are the difficult problems Laurence Olivier confronted when presenting Shakespearean soliloquies on film, and therefore are the research focuses of this paper.
