Macbeth: " The Witches" A1S1
2006 Geoffrey Wright Vs. 2010 Rupert Gould
The Text Vs. The Movies
Both directors did not accurately portray the witches. The witches were put in the directors own images. Wright changed the three old women into three young school girls and Gould kept the trio of women but they are nurses which is ironic because they hurt everyone. Both directors did keep the insane and sinister tone that still kept the part somewhat original. The most accurate to the text was Rupert Gould's version because he kept the witches a little older and mature.
Which Version Was Better?
Rupert Gould witches were a better version. My opinion is biased because I haven't seen the 2006 Macbeth version only the 2010 version. Although, the witches in 2010 gave me an idea of how insane the witches were in the book.
A Difference in the two.
Obviously both directors appearance of the witches were way off. Gould wanted to keep the maturity in the roles and Wright wanted to make something new and improved with adolescence.
Similaritie
In the end, The sinister style of the witches were still in each role. Both were very spooky in their own right that kept the scary vibe of the witches.
