William Shakespeare is a famous British writer and poet who have much famous play. Those included Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. Macbeth, which is one of the best plays by William Shakespeare, is believed to be the shortest play done by William Shakespeare. Due to the technological advances, it is undeniable that, as time passed new technologies improve. Back then, Shakespeare doesn’t have enough technology to make people know that what the weather is like or whether it’s a day or night.

Macbeth is a play about a person who is predicted by the Witches that he will be a king in the future. By his greediness, he put all of his effort to make him able to the king of Scotland and this is the beginning of this play. There are three versions of Macbeth movie that I watched, 1957, 1971 and 2006. The version that mostly likes the original version is 1971. The version 1957 is a Japanese version that is done in 1957. The second version is 1971, “ //Tragedy of Macbeth.” // This version improves its graphic and gives more details than the first version. This version seems to give every little single detail as they can. After Macbeth heard about the prediction, a while later he received an award, the Thanes of Condor which is exactly like what the witches told him. Then, he thinks of being the King of Scotland. He got invited to the King’s castle. He was well welcomed by the King and his men. After he met with the King, he returned with his castle and told his wife about becoming a King and the visit of tshe King. When the King came to his castle, they had a little party and went to their own bedroom. At night, Macbeth went to the King’s bedroom and took the King’s knife to stab the King, the king died. The next morning the guards found out and shocked. The King’s sons were scared so they moved out of the country to another country, making Macbeth become the new King of Scotland as what the witches said. They had a dinner after the ceremony of the new King of Scotland, however; Macbeth was a bit insane. He thought his friend went back and tries to kill him but it just a delusion. One night, he wife was dreaming and her body moves. She said something about her hand that it still cannot be wash away even though she uses the whole ocean to wash her hand. He killed herself after that. Later, Macbeth visits the three Witches again. They told Macbeth to beware and said "none of woman born shall harm Macbeth." Then, he assassinated every single person in Macduff’s castle. Malcolm leads an army, along with Macduff and Englishmen Siward immediately after they knew about the news. When they arrived at Macbeth’s castle, the battle begins. In the end of this battle, Macbeth confront with Macduff and Siward. Macbeth fights with no fear due to the witches words. He underestimated the enemy and got killed by them.

The version 2006 has kind of a same plot but a bit different story. In 1971 version, Macbeth’s goal is to be the King of Scotland, but in this version his goal was to be a boss of the gang. In the end, he became the boss of the gang, however; he got killed by Macduff and Siward.

In my opinion, I think the 1971 version is the best version and the best one to represents the Shakespeare’s original idea. I think this version gave as much details as they can and only focuses on Shakespeare’s idea and text. The idea of King and greediness are also the same as Shakespeare’s original text, however, I also like the idea that the version 2006 gave. It obviously demonstrates how technological advances affected the film and people perspective. If 1971 and 2006 were on the movie theater today, I believed the 2006 one would have been more popular, but it doesn’t really reflect the original text of Shakespeare.
