Polanskys version of MACBETH
Macbeth, written by Shakespeare, is a gloomy, intense, and a visually dark play in general. ... In Roman Polansky’s film, his portrayal and interpretation of the story of Macbeth are done fairly well as an exciting murder mystery due to Polansky’s personal life events. The tragic event of losing his wife allowed him to present the cast of Macbeth in such a way that is completely fitting to the play itself and obviously made it more emotional. This is what creates the atmosphere in Polansky’s version of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Akira Kurosawas "Throne of Blood" is a Japanese-language adaptation of Shakespeares Macbeth. ... At the beginning of the play Macbeth, or rather, Washizu is the general of Fort One. ... Whereas Kurosawa’s film’s background is a feudal system one, Polansky’s version portrays Macbeth as Shakespeare’s play did so. ... No discussion of Macbeth would be satisfactory which did not make some attempt to deal with its most famous symbols: the witches whose interactions with Macbeth play such a vital role in his thinking about his own life, both before and after the murder of Duncan. Macbeth recognizes them as something supernatural, part of the landscape but not fully human inhabitants of it. ... The witches in Macbeth are one of the best parts of the play, but in "Throne of Blood" there is only one witch, who wears white.
