Movie Reviews of Macbeth
Movie Review: "Something wicked this way comes..."
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite version of MacBeth. It was directed by Roman Polanski, and produced by Hugh Hefner, sometime in the 1970's (but don't let that scare you.) This dvd is an authentic, true-to-the story and almost word for word version of Shakespeare's bone-chilling tale of power, corruption and murder. Amazing costumes, scary witches, great scenery and wonderful acting by a very talented (but mostly unknown) cast. Teenagers love it, too. Probably too violent for younger children. If you are a fan of this bloody tale, I highly recommend it!Movie Review: Truly Inspiring
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't recommend this enough. I teach Shakespeare to 6th and 8th graders, and this movie absolutely engrosses kids of this age. Polanski makes every nuance of the play clear, and the acting is superb. We read a little of the play, work with it, then I show just that part of the DVD. (I have to leave out very few scenes because I teach in a public school, so no nudity allowed.) I wish Polanski would tackle other of Shakespeare's plays.Movie Review: Brilliant, Awesome, with a Great Twist
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have never seen a film of Macbeth, start with this one.
You must surely know at least part of the plot ( if not, you can check the text on line easily enough); however, polanski takes this film and adds a final twist in the only manner Polanski can... and its awesome, and to be honest, I think a logical extension of the story.
Polanski scores high points again.
Movie Review: Dark
Summary: 5 Stars
Roman Polonski brings a vary dark mood to this Shakesperian classic. The film is very good but deffinatly not for younger veiwers(voilence,bear baiting,blood,child nudity,old woman nudity). Without a doubt there is a great scene with Lady Macbeth where shes in her room and she freaking out and trying to wash the "blood" she sees on her hands. The movie is worth watching.Movie Review: 1971 Production of MACBETH: Polanski, on dvd.
Summary: 5 Stars
This film was riveting, and compelling, from beginning to end. Polanski's version of MACBETH, was a screen adaptation of the text, but that is why it worked so well, the actual text is dull and often hard to understand. So, here you get a film version, that's easy to follow and makes for good cinema.
