Macbeth

[massacre mandi]

ok so we are reading Macbeth in sophmore honers english and we just watched part of the movie and it is terrible! like me and my friends could have put on a better version of the play. gahh. i thought id share that.  

[foxtrotblues]

Do you like Macbeth? I loved it personally- but which movie version are you talking about? I remember watching one way back when i was in middle school.  

[Nemsy]

I don't read! AHHHH!! *runs away*

 

[A Song Is Born]

"I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it."

I think I know the movie your talking about! I agree, it does not do the story justice at all...

"Today, however isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either."

I think we watched a movie for Macbeth, but I don't remember it. I loved the play though, and I'm the only one of my friends who did. Hamlet was even more fun to read though. smile

I like Macbeth personally performed live or through a script. 3nodding

yeah. That movie was just... lame. it was trying to be more of a classic theater, where the stage was a circle in the center of everyone. That was... ehh. But the actors had poor diction, had far too fast of a speaking rate, and were far too extreme in their movements. The cameras spent most of the time on the faces, which was about... triply annoying, because their faces were like pure sweat and it was distracting. The Second Witch was the only character I saw that I liked. And she was just plain creepy enough to scare me. Of course, that's probably what they were going for.

Thanks to all these elements, I got nauseous within ten minutes of watching it and instead read Cry, the Beloved Country. I despise that book at this point, so for me to switch to that... yeah. Bad movie.

Double, double,

Anybody realize that Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (or was it the Prisoner of Azkaban? confused ) movie stole the witches' chant and turned it into a song? "Something wicked this way comes!"  

[daft alchemist]

I noticed it and was all "b***h, can't be original so you have to steal from Billy Shakes, eh? eh?" So not cool. stare  

[A Song Is Born]

I had to sing that harry potter song for choir in high school ^.^; Was in our Halloween concert.

Man, Shakespeare.... the fruit is sexual! Everything was innuendo! But it was still funny and stuff! Gotta love Shakespeare.... if you can understand it. And I don't care if I misspelled.  

[Knipith]

I had to read that too..  

[Dreams of Nowhere]
