Compare and Contrast: Two Film Adaptations of Macbeth

As far as we know, Shakespeare wrote Macbeth in 1606. It has about 400 years of history and longing for resurrection. In modern Melbourne, adaptation of the drama in the gang war of ten years ago may seem funny, but in the real gang war of the Victorian city the bodies of St Kilda were piled from the sun to the sun, now It is 100% reasonable. . Of course, the difficulty lies in precisely changing Scottish aristocrats to triad gangs, yet still finding ways to maintain Shakespeare's true intentions.

Is it unfair to compare this recent Shakespeare 's Macbeth adaptation with past movie adaptation? Every director must find his own way and sentences. The first one was Orson Wells, and he oversaw two better Shakespeare in life (Othello of 1952, Midnight Bell of 1965). Next, Akira Kurosawa picked Macbeth, put it in Japan of feudal age, acquired the throne of blood of 1957. Then there was a 1971 fanatical delusion masterpiece of Polan skiing in Rome. Each adaptation is coherent and thrilling, representative director Polanski is one of the greatest and best Shakespeare's adaptations ever.

Film director Roman Polanski adapted the tragedy of Macbeth (1971), but he did not change the setting, the period, the language. This regimen may be the darkest since Polansky overheard the movie after Mr. Mansons' murder of pregnant wife Salon · Tate one year later. The most popular film adaptation in recent years will be "Leonardo DiCaprio" directed by Baz Luhrmann (1996) and "Tragedy of Romeo and Juriet" starring Claire Dennis. This adaptation moves to modern Verona, mixes contemporary music with the original language of Shakespeare and uses a gun instead of a sword for fighting.
