Hamlet versus Oedipus incest

I have just finished watching Hamlet. It was very hard, almost a torture trying to understand not only the old English language and the accent but also the characters. Well, throughout the movie Hamlet I tried to figure where the incest situation happened. It didn’t,not like in Oedipus where the real incest happens between mother and son, in Hamlet his mother Gertrude marry his uncle and this is understood as a incestuous relationship, I guess.
Hamlet is very complicated play to understand.
