Macbeth: Play Analysis
For the week of 3/18
Macbeth Casting

Macbeth
Tom Hiddleston
I believe that Tom Hiddleston would be a great Macbeth is that as seen in other movies, the characters he portrays are not always emotionally stable and this is quite how Macbeth in the play is.

Lady Macbeth
Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie has played roles where she needs to be strong and wicked and also emotional roles making her a good fit for the role of Lady Macbeth.

Witch
Jessica Lange
Her roles she has played exemplify her ability to become the character and to show her flexibility in the type of character she can portray, making her a good witch.

Witch
Diane Keaton
I believe that Diane Keaton would be a good witch

    Before Macbeth gives his famous “Is this a dagger which I see before me” soliloquy, he has decided that he was not going to kill the king. Lady Macbeth wants to become queen, so she has an argument with Macbeth. During the argument Lady Macbeth says, “When you durst do it, then you were a man”, saying that Macbeth is not a man unless he kills king Duncan. Lady Macbeth’s words make Macbeth perplexed and he goes into his soliloquy where he debates whether or not to assassinate the king.…

    English 4 1.11 Macbeth Observation, Interpretation, and Critique

    In William Shakespeare's story Macbeth, the hero, faces a conflict that impacts how the play will go and delivers a message within the story. The conflict starts with the prophecies of the Weird Sisters and later on gets worse from the trickery of Lady Macbeth. The result concludes a series of repeating thoughts running through Macbeth's mind, whether to kill or not to kill Duncan.…

    Macbeth Movie Analysis Essay

    For my film analysis, I was fortunate that there many different adaptations of the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Most of them are set in the period of the play, like Roman Polanski’s 2002 version, which I also viewed and found to be disappointing at best. The only good thing was the realism of the sword fighting. Realistically clumsy in their armor, which was amusing, but other than that, dull, dull, dull. Instead, I opted to view and analyze the more modern version from 2006. The 2006 version of Macbeth was adapted by Geoffrey Wright and Victoria Hill, produced by the same team and also directed by Geoffrey Wright. Victoria Hill also happens to play the role of Lady Macbeth.…

    Who Is To Blame In Shakespeare's Macbeth?

    He delivers Shakespeare’s language with as much power as Sorkin’s lines earlier this year in Steve Jobs. His anger is visceral, his pain is heart-wrenching, his drive is palpable. Marion Cotillard is at her English-language best as Lady Macbeth. She is villainous, sexual, and sympathetic. The rest of the supporting cast does a commendable job with the admittedly dense source material. Duncan and Macduff are standouts, but there is not a single bad performance in the film.…

    Is Macbeth's Play An Honorable Character

    In Shakespeare's Macbeth we see a decline in Macbeth's sanity. In the beginning, we see Macbeth a very honorable man, so we need a man who can play a very honorable man then see a decline in their sanity. Our best option right now is Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp can play an insane person very well. But the real question is can he play a very honorable person? We'll see during auditions, but another option would be Heath Ledger. We have seen him play a honorable witty person in “A Knight's Tale” and we have seen him play an very criminally insane character in “The Dark Knight”. In “Macbeth” we see his psychical condition, social condition and emotional condition plummet majorly to the point of no return. He is so obsessed with the prophecies of the witches, who are being played by Emma Thompson, Jessica Lange, and Sarah Jessica Parker, that it drove him to…

    Macbeth Play Analysis

    Review: Macbeth a visually striking period piece for the modern viewer We all wrote an essay about it in high school; Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” is so widely read that it’s surprising Justin Kurzel’s newest film is the first notable cinematic adaptation since Roman Polanski’s in 1971. Kurzel’s take on the Scottish play is a spectacle of haunting violence; he takes advantage of the cinematic medium and crafts a stunning aesthetic. As an adaptation, the film offers an imaginative reading of the familiar narrative of the eponymous Scottish general (Michael Fassbender, sure to draw a crowd at the box office) and his infamously manipulative wife (Marion Cotillard, art-house ace). However, in its attempts to be visually striking, much will seem to have…

    In many great pieces of literature, secondary characters play important roles in developing the main character and the story’s themes. In William Shakespeare's famous play Macbeth, the author uses many different secondary characters to develop Macbeth’s and the play’s themes.

    Summary Of Macbeth By Roman Polanski

    “The actor's performances, while far from classic, are not detrimental to the film, though his choice to portray Lady Macbeth as soft-spoken and quiet downplays the manipulative nature Shakespeare established for her in the play... In an effort to preserve realism in the film, director Roman Polanski opted to change the traditional conveyance of Shakespeare's soliloquies and asides... The opening scene with the witches was rather poorly done. Polanski made the women look so grotesquely ugly that they distracted the audience from the important plot element of the scene: what they were saying. Unfortunately, this too was clouded: their screeching voices and constant giggling made them difficult to understand. A witness to the film unfamiliar…
