Macbeth ACT 5, SC. 1
2010 Rupert Polanski vs 1979 Trevor Nunn
Play vs Films
The 1979 film fit in very well it had more of a play like theme. The 2010 film was modernized so it was more entertaining. This film grabbed my attention the most.
Similarity
Both films did not seem to have an actual setting for this scene. The room it took place in was dark, had very little lighting and you weren't able to see any background.
Difference
In the 2010 film the viewer was able to see that Lady Macbeth was trying to was her sins away. It was shown she walked over to a sink and wanted to wash her hands but then blood came out.
Difference
The 1979 version lacked emotion from the characters. The tone in Lady Macbeths voice was calm and not as dramatic as in the 2010 version.
