Macbeth Part 1 Reflection

At the beginning, the super scary nurses who represents the three witches announce the provision of Macbeth and Banquo in a empty, seemingly obsolete building with a drip full of blood. The scene is the most creepy part from which we have watched. From that on, I became very sensitive to the nurses whenever they appear on the screen. Later on, Macbeth becomes king of Cawdor and Lady Macbeth performs a shocking speech after she read the letter about the nurses' omen. After Macbeth kills Duncan and Lady Macbeth sets up the faked crime scene, Act III begins with exist of Banquo and his son, Fleance. Then, it reaches the climax when Macbeth becomes more courageous and Lady Macbeth becomes more passive. Actually, from the beginning to the part we have seen, I always think of Macbeth (the actor) funny and clumsy. He, making a sandwich, commands to the two murderers, who are also eating sandwich, to kill Banquo. Honestly, I like the 1997 version of movie better than this one which the story, beside the great play written by Shakespeare, seems nonsense. Besides, the actor who plays Macbeth and actress who plays Lady Macbeth, are not as handsome and beautiful as the ones played in the 1997 version. Still, it is a interesting movie worth to be watched during class.
