Macbeth Vs. BS MOVIE. =)

 The book compared to the movie is a total joke. The scenes are out of order, and the placement in time is completely wrong. Yes, I understand that the movie was made to provoke interest in the time period today, but the cars looked as if they should be in a Fast and Furious movie, and the people had hand guns. Really? The fight scene was completely lame, and I think they exchanged bags of money... The start of the movie was nothing the like the book, which had Lady Macbeth crying at a cemetery with a gravestone written "beloved son," a foreshadow? The actual beginning of the play was with the witches, who were later on said to be gross and old who had beards. These witches were young and beautiful. Later on in the movie, the witches reappeared to tell Macbeth his future, but also Banquo's. Banquo however was not around, and Macbeth told him.

 Lady Macbeth...where to start. Besides the fact she's obviously a deceiving woman she is also a crack hore. In the play she reads a letter, but instead Macbeth tells her what would have been on the letter. She does tell him that he does need to kill the king, and when Macbeth goes to kill Duncan he wakes up... That certainly did not happen in the book. Finally, there was no drunken Porter.

The story is nothing like the movie. Yes it is somewhat easier to understand, but should not be compared in any way to the ways of Shakespeare wrote it.
