Macbeth
« on: June 9, 2005 03:00 am CDT »
Anyone into shakespeare? Ever seen the movie version of Macbeth that was set in post apocolyptic earth? Like Earth: Final Conflict but without the Aliens...so actually more like The Road Warrior, Mad Max, or something

post apocolyptic? have you read the book?

it was pretty much about a guy getting really paranoid becuase of 3 witches. so he started killing everyone whom he thought would stand in his way.

im guessing its the modernized version... man i can only imagine how that would be.  if youve seen at least part of the modernized version of romeo and juliet by luhrmann (sp?) you'll know what i mean..

"prince, it is romeo who who hath slain tybalt"
(it is a police officer...)
or..

"draw your sword now!"
(they pull out their guns)

I read the book alright. It was weird. I got confused. Then Baz Luhrman, the guy who did Romeo & Juliet and Strictly Ballroom (Good movie if u ask me)...wait nm he didnt do Macbeth. But this version took place in a post apocolyptic earth, and the three witches were like three beggars, and Macbeth was in old army uniforms like...LIKE TANK-GIRL, that's what it was like!

"Double, Double, Toil and Trouble...."

I'm a Shakespeare fan.  His tragedies are predictable, but they are very enjoyable regardless.  On a similar note, I enjoy Sophocles's tragedies.  They're similar in many aspects.  There's something about people dying, coming to, dying again, etc that's enjoyable.  That is especially true when read comically.

I must say that I've found most of Shakespear's works to be quite boring.  Hamlet was good because of the great ironies within it as are some of his sonnets.  On the whole, I just think he gets more credit than he deserves.

So ironic that a heart made by man, when broken is easily fixed.   But a human hurt can last a lifetime.

I thought Assassin was originally from the Arabic word Hassassin, which was a group of arabic people who terrorized and killed crusaders. And then it was derived into assassin.?

I think Razore is right...OR what if we say that it was Arabic, and then Shakespeare took the Arabic word and turned it into Engrish?
