Although the two versions of Macbeth, the original and the modern, equally depict the play of Macbeth, they have their similarities and differences. A huge similarity noted between the two were the personalities of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. They both portray her as a woman with serious mental and guilt issues. Their actions end up to the destruction of their conscience and mind. A huge difference that really takes the two films apart is the whole concept of "power". The original film brings to life the theme of corruption in government. It makes the theme powerful as you see a man commit evil deeds to become king. On the other side of the spectrum,the modern film is weak in this aspect because it is simply about a drug deal. The concept of drug dealing is very weak compared to talking about a more vigorous aspect such as kingship. Overall I preferred the first film due to the lack of effectiveness in the overall plot.

The play and the film have many differences, but one difference between them is that in the play they never mention that Lady Macbeth had a son and in the movie they show her crying at his tomb stone. Another difference bettween them is that in the play everyone is fighting for the throne, but in the film they're fighting over drugs.
There are also many similarities between them, but one similarity both the film and the play have is that Lady Macbeth and her son get murder by some evil men. Another is that even in the film Shakespeares old english is spoken and most of the lines from the play were still used in the movie only in a more modern scene to make it more interesting.
I prefer the film because it was full of action, weapons and blood and it all caught my attention. It was more modern so it was easier to understand and it made it more interesting and not so boring like the film.

There were various differences and similarities between both the 1979 and the 2006 version of Macbeth. In similarities both movies had the same main characters and no differences between the deaths. They also both used the same diologue and had the same plot as to Macbeth killing Duncan and going mad due to paranoia and guilt.Another similarity they had was that they were both violent and Macbeth although was in gunfight still died by sword or dagger rather.
The differences between the two were recognizable from the begining. The 2006 version had actual scenery. It also differentiated in weaponry using guns instead of swords. Duncan who is a king in the 1979 version is the leader of a crime syndicate dealing drugs in the 2006 version. The witches who foretold the future are more sexual and appear to be teenagers in the newer version. Lady Macbeth in the older version wants Banquo dead. The 2006 version Macbeth is the one who wants Banquo dead and needs no persuading in doing so.

The similarities that both versions was that both had a lot of violence and anger in them. They both took place in dark areas and in both movies it seemed like no one could trust nobody.

The differences were that i understood the more modern version i didnt really get the old version and it was also more shakespear like .In the modern version they used weapons like guns gernades more new weapons and in the old version they use swords and stuff like that.

The movie was different front the play because they were set in different times, which made them both differ. The wars, in the movie there were staggers and guns and tons of violence, but in the play you are told by other characters when they have arrived and when they were fighting (less graphical).

Both the movie and the play were very detailed when they gave out information. For instance, in the movie in the final war you can see how they all prepare for the battle, and in the play when lady Mac Beth is going mad.

I personally believe that the play had more spoken detail and the movie had more visual detail. they were both very interesting, too bad we were unable to watch all of the movie.

Hi everyone,

This is not really related to Macbeth, but here's some fun trivia: what new movie is Sam Worthington the star of? (Worthington is the actor who plays Macbeth in the newer film version we watched.)

Any guesses?
