 Because they wanted to aim at a wider public in their film  adaptation of "Hamlet" than they had in their 1944 film version of  "Henry V", Olivier and text adaptor Alan Dent modernized and/or  clarified several obscure phrases in the play: "The cock, that is  the trumpet to the morn" became "The cock, that is the herald to the  morn", "recks not his own rede" became "minds not his own creed",  "In the same figure, like the King thats dead" became "in the same  figure, like the dead King Hamlet", and "It may be, very like"  became "It may be, very likely", among others.
