In the beginning of the movie, camera rolls over the statue of king Hamlet out side the Elsinore Castle . The movie ends with the similar sequence inthe statue of king Hamlet is hammered down to the dust. This fall of statue symbolically represent the dynasty of the king Hamlet.

The statue is prescribed the death of revenge also in the movie.
