A STUDY OF FILM ADEPTION OF MACBETH



ABOUT  SHAKESPEARE 
       Macbeth is written by William shakespear  he was a unique figure of  Elizabethan  age  he wrote sonnets, tragedy,and also comedy.


ABOUT  MACBETH



       Macbeth  is a tragedy which is written by William shakespear  it is first performed  in 1606  it dramatize  ambition of protagonist  and because of his  ambitious  nature  the play turns into  tragedy 

 What is diffrance between literary text& film 
Literary work revel story  in narrative  form while movie revel the story  through  audio&visual.
 
In present time there are many flim adoptetion  regarding literary text  Macbeth has also film adoptetion  with serial improvision  which is made by director. Macbeth has so many film adoptetion  but here I share three distinctive  adoptetion  of  Macbeth 

Flim adoption of Macbeth 
          First film adaptation  of Macbeth  which is adopted by  Orson well

Welles film entirely shoot in  barren studio  floor Western. The studio had made a fact that the chose   emphasis  rather than  obfuscate. Welles was able  to translate  the physical  spaces of film.As the film progress  the various  set pieces background  actors and props seem to slowly vanish  to frame leaving Macbeth   isolated  both visually and  psychologically. 

    Flim is begin with   using this   dialougue double double toil and trouble.  In this adoptetion  witches carry  stuffed with fork  in v shape and displayed hold over  Macbeth . Welles worked in the similar shapes into the shapes  when Macbeth as and stolen throne  we see that it is shaped like  tip of the witches stuff

         Opening scene of  Macbeth
            Adepted by: Orson well




         In this adoptetion   there are  few character from the play  are eliminated   Ross is minor character his character cut from  the flim. But much of his dialougue given to a major character

       Welles is adept a  Narrative  language   from the original play.

Lady Macbeth  is most captivating  character  of the screen . It does add to  the feeling as Welles said that film is more  of a bold character sketch  extremely well with expressive quality of film.

  Improvision by the director

     In the movie by  Orson wells which is based on Macbeth  he put loaded interpretation   of the play  theater   project in 1936 in this fkim setting was Scotland. Flim is  represented  by entire black caste. When in originally text there was a entire caste was white. And no much  loud interpretation 



 Second  film adoption  by Akira  kurosawa


Akira  kurosawa  was a Japanese  film maker he changed the name when he make a film which is based  on Macbeth  the name of the film  was  throne of blood  which is directed by  akira kurosawa.  When he making a film he face some conflict regarding the structure of a play . He make some liberal changes. 

       This adoptetion  film was begin with witches  the director didn't  make  straight  forward adoptetion  of Macbeth  but it is relocated in Japan. 

 Many of character  are more  or less it is not as we expected  macbeth become washizu  lady macbeth become lady asaji and banque become miki. In this film adoptetion  there is chorus. In this film adoptetion  there is  Ross  is not most notable  character not even macduff was. This last ominious  critical adoptetion   as it result  it  is entirely  different  from original  text.

        The best visual moment  was shakespear  language of dialouge . When miki lost in forest in movie  recieve their prophesy  get lost in castle  this scene seems last to  eternity  or at least well passed point  which more director would have figured   at served  its  purpose there is no dialouge .

While  lady asaji(lady macbeth)  shares many  core scenes with the audience. Washizu   presenting each subsequent  action in the  movie.

 Here lady macbeth  represented as  dynamic  and expressive eternal  source for washizu and deliberate &argue with  him. Which  is more  cinematic then  wrestling  with inner  thoughts. 

 Improvision by director
 Here the film maker was Japanese  so he  changed the name of film as well as  the  name  of the character in flim also

 Adoptetion  of macbeth  by Roman Polanski


 In  this adoptetion  the movie started  with 
The dialouge  with fair is foul foul is fair     unborn child of Macbeth which is most accurate   to the text  no less than cinematic. Character motivation  through  contextual  visual. Include minor character polanski latches  to the fact that  macbeth is slightly  longer than  the other  character. In this film polanski  connected  dots between sequential nature  of event  at the end of film  rides out alone  witches to home but there is no  dialouges. 

      Beyond the character moments there were  numerous  motifs  that  further reflect  polanski  fatalistic  view.

          Polanski utilizes primary colors to represent guilt and fear, drenching Macbeth’s restless body in the sanguine light that pours through his bedroom window, paralleling his bloody reign. The deep blues of twilight also carry metaphorical heft, washing over the fallen Banquo as his corpse floats in a shallow pool of water, echoing the cold distance of a king willing to slay his most loyal subject. The spell conjured by this evocative shading and frenzied violence is amplified by the high-pitched squeal of Third Ear Band’s avant-garde improvisations, eliciting panic through blurts of oboe and shredded violin strings.
Polanski focuses on the physical expression of rage in the final act, typifying his artistic vision by linking internal torment to external aggression. His Macbeth exhibits a measured pace, but builds to an unbearable tension, marrying a lesson in humility to a study in existential dread and mortal cruelty.
