This adaptation of Macbeth was most definitely different than the written version, however, I like this. I find it intersesting when movies and books have their differences. This causes more suspense and almost good confusion. For example, I enjoyed the small changes like Fleance returning, Lady Macbeths death left somewhat open ended, the question of how motivated Malcolm is to become king, and also the surprising funeral and the Macbeth's child. These changes cause there to be enough change to make the movie more gripping and suspensful, but not too much where you don't know what is going on anymore. I enjoyed the movie more than the book because of these changes and the artistic nature and detail the movie depicted that the book lacked. Obviously there is much a movie can show that a book can't, which also contributes to my liking of the movie over the book. The movie held me in and made me want to actually see what was going to happen next, which was much more thrilling than anything the book had to offer.
