Rachel Camacho The comparisons of Macbeth

Although both movies have the same title they had many differences and some similarities. The old version of Macbeth had no scenery which just created confusion of where they were, on the other hand the new version of Macbeth had a scenery and gave the audience a feel of where they were the whole time which also made the movie more interesting. In the new version of Macbeth, the actors do not do a good job with their characters while in the older version they put emotion into the characters they are playing. Although they are very different they have similarities as well.
Both movies had a lot of suspense, when viewing them i found myself on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. They also spoke in the same dialect which caused some confusion in what they were saying. Although there was confusion they were both very interesting and are both very good to watch. I preferred the newer version of Macbeth only because of the fact that it was a modern version rather than the Macbeth with no background. Overall though, they were both well done.

  3. Ya I agree with what you said. The emotions were better acted by the play than the 2007 version of Macbeth but like you said, the new version had a background to it which made the film more interesting to watch. That was pretty much how i felt about the Macbeth films.
