[Soccerlver121]

[oscar3eyes]

If it had been, this is the way it would have been.

Likewise the entire film. A masterpiece.

[boatmanzxc]

....and they don't leave any footprints.....

[supermorshu]

id do all the witches at the same time ;)

[TheEleventhIndian]

I dreamt a daymare where an old craggly Manson-archetype was released back into society and he too sought the counsel of 3 witches (his disciples). When he spoke it sounded as pop music backwards...Succinctly, this is my favorite tragedy.

[KALIN1111]

blind witch is so ugly and terrible that her dream for three days and I had nightmares

[se2cond]

kinda funny when the old witches spit 3 time THEY GANGS

[fartgooselimmo]

spin around 3 times and spit!

[kealyc]

Being but a mere butler, you will not knwo the great theatre tradition, that one does never speak the name ... of the Scottish play.

[chesney121]

@kealyc

Macbeth.

[Laurisa718]

@kealyc LOL I love Black Adder, too!

[XX310]

Looks like my Literature takes this clip as a reference to Macbeth.

[tinytrucker98]

i hav to study this in drama for like year 9 10 and probably 11 :(

[MaplestoryMad]

someone please help.. im gonna have to talk about scene 1 infront of the class and i have to explain what the witches represent (why they are 3 diff ages), why they burried those items, and any more symbolism in this scene .. why the hell are they burrying those craps!!!

[BoltOfThundor]

@MaplestoryMad Maybe you should have played less Maple Story... You mad man... }:D

The rope was clearly a representative of suicide, the dagger of betrayal and the hand for puppetry, or control? What else? Any one?

[evilknievel20]

@MaplestoryMad hahahahaha

[Chrisguitar95]

This sucks ballz.

[raidz06]

F*ck Twilight and all that shit, this is REAL filmmaking! They don't make them the way they used to.

Doing The Witches For My Shakespear Coursework At Year 11 At School :/

[phycadelicpotatoduck]

they look like my nan

[crysiseternity]

This was a brilliant adaptation. I loved acting as a witch in drama.

[nactan]

I didn't like MacBeth. Yes, the original play.

What's so great about it? Shakespeare is so childish, and not always in a good way. Sure, his language is often engaging, but then he suddenly rhymes blood with good. Maybe he was thinking of a Scottish accent or something, dunno.

I like Julius Caesar best of all his plays. Perhaps native English get more out of him than I did.

[heliotropezzz333]

@nactan There are lots of accents in England now and in Shakespeare's time and some would rhyme blood and good. The poetry in this plays is very memorable and evocative, and it's a writing that understands the basic human spirit and feelings, that stands the test of time so people can still relate to it - other cultures can also relate to it or it is easy to adapt (Kurosawa for instance). He's also a very good dramatist.

[nactan]

@heliotropezzz333 Shakespeare isn't easily adaptable to traditional Japanese culture at all, the Japanese are just ultra-westernized. They made a deliberate and concerted effort, as a people, to move beyond their oriental roots. Look it up. I'm from a non-western culture myself, and I can tell you, it just doesn't mesh. Some of his assumptions are weird even by modern western standards. Shakespeare was a strong believer in love at first sight, which resulted in bizarre plays like the Tempest.

[blackrabbit06]

@nactan Japanese are ultra westernized??? prove your theory by citing them!!! how dare you say Japanese are Ultra Westernized...

[nactan]

@blackrabbit06 they are, whether you like it or not, and how exactly do you expect me to cite sources? no urls allowed!

[heliotropezzz333]

@nactan Love at first sight is just a dramatic device, not an expression of Shakespeare's belief though there are plenty of reported experiences of that. Whatever you say, I enjoy Kurasawa's films. They have a different take on the stories, but they are interesting in their own right and if different cultures did not feel an affinity with Shakespeares plays, they just would not bother doing them as there would be no audience for them

[nactan]

@heliotropezzz333 I wish that were true, but no. Shakespeare belonged to the school of thought that held "natural attraction" to be the least "artificial", therefore highest form of love. I'm a huge fan of Kurosawa and I love Throne of Blood, but you're once again incorrect. The story of Macbeth isn't universal enough to be appropriate to pre-Westernized Japanese culture, for which I am thankful. Where storytelling is concerned, "universal" is just another word for bland and soulless IMO.

[heliotropezzz333]

@nactan Kurosawa is not pre-westernised I think - only his films hark back to a pre-westernised culture. Very little is known about William Shakespeare as there are only a few legal records still surviving. There are no letters and nothing about what he thought so I don't know how you clain to know what school of thought he belonged to.The fiction and poetry that creative people write is not necessarily what they believe. We can't make the assumption that it is.

[nactan]

@heliotropezzz333 huh? kurosawa? of course he isn't!

as for shakespeare, that's a scholarly interpretation from the schools of thought prevalent at the time and the contents of his plays. what did you think i was reporting, his private ruminations?

[DonMeaker]

@heliotropezzz333 We do know this about W. Shakespeare: His will did not provide for the distribution of a single book. Hence rather a few people believe that Shakespeare was a business man (a producer in modern terms) but someone else wrote his plays and sonnets.

[heliotropezzz333]

@DonMeaker His will did leave money to fellow actors Hemmings and Condell and they did arrange to have the plays published in the first folio under Wiliam Shakespeare's name with an introduction by Ben Jonson. You would have to believe they were all faking, to think Shakespeare did not write the plays. He probably left the plays in London for the company to continue producing and may have left any books there too. His family in Stratford was not very literalte.

[DonMeaker]

@heliotropezzz333 Whether Shakespeare wrote them or not, there is little doubt that he owned them. Authorship didn't mean so much in ancient times, and in fact, false authorship was positively valued. Roman authors trumpeted that their plays were copied from the Greeks. Bible books claim famous authors, and only recently have scholarly techniques been able to see past the veil of falsehood. Shakespeare as owner modified the plays over time, even if someone else initially wrote it

[endersgame55]

@DonMeaker If Shakespeare didn't write those plays, then a whole lot of people were strangely willing to act in concert to lead the entire world to believe that he did.

[ArtD42]

@nactan Um, Shakespeare rhymes "blood" with "good" because, wouldn't you know it, our accents have changed a bit over the course of 400 years. A lot of Shakespeare's rhymes don't sound the same to us because we're not speaking in 16th-century London accents. Please find better reasons not to like Shakespeare than that.

[benithel]

@ArtD42 It's actually a slanted rhyme scheme.

[RichieEastside]

@ArtD42 "Blood" and "good" have never rhymed in any phase of the English language. In the British poetic tradition it's considered acceptable to rhyme couplets or sonnet quatrains by spelling alone. Also it's worth noting that a rather large majority of this particular tragedy is written in prose as compared to most of the others, so he might not have even intended it to rhyme at all.

[nactan]

@RichieEastside I don't think he did, actually. Whatever he was doing, the net effect is displeasing to my ear. That's all I meant.

[nactan]

@ArtD42 Dude, you dunno what the fuck you're talking about.

[nactan]

@ArtD42 I see others got to you before me.

[AnElephantsChild]

@ArtD42

'Blood' & 'good' still do rhyme, well they do where I come from. We say 'blud' & 'gud', how on Earth do you pronounce them ?

[Erzhauer]

Waaaaaaa!

Hot potato, orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends!

[mahimahimindy]

why did they burry an arm?

[geekorthodox9]

@mahimahimindy

perhaps the partial remains of someone drawn and quartered were reclaimed as a prelude to this scene...there is then a politico-religious under current to this symbolism

[mahimahimindy]

@geekorthodox9 in other words? I'm just a 4th grader.....

[Vampireprincessica9]

fair is foul,foul is fair

hover through the fog and filthy air.

lol i've learnt it by heart asif i'm a witch.hahaha!!!

[YUMYUMYAAH]

mi fece così paura questa scena.....quel braccio monco...il sangue...ma soprattutto la spiaggia deserta.....e i colori..della desolazione. un film splendido

[Beefstrom]

ROCOCO

[BadondeMedia]

Id do the young witch.

[nsb5Q322]

@BadondeMedia thats a little weird....

[patrikster]

@BadondeMedia We were watching this on a big screen in class. We all LOL'd at your comment, except for the teacher..she was like: lolwut?

[arunchepe]

@BadondeMedia then that hand they buried was probably yours.

[ecnalubma696969]

Now those are some weird sisters.

[yourass117]

Most beautiful women I've ever seen, Im glad Im single.

[hunt950]

fit lol

[SP2662]

macbeth looks hot lol

[Clivepom]

The best writing the world can offer+brilliant direction. What's not to love?

[lordgracie]

@Clivepom

I would not call SATANIC witches "black magic" as BRILLIANT

It's not ORIGINAL at all, the Illuminati use this THEME all the time.

Why do you think the 3 witches CAME to KILL POLANSKI's wife Sharon Tate

on the NIGHT OF THE BLACK MOON OF DEATH, a witches SABBATH or SACRIFICE! Triple Goddess of life , death, and rebirth. Wicca Moon

ANCIENT RITUAL SATANIC BLACK MAGIC!

[Theseekhimhere]

@lordgracie what, in the name of all that is good in the world, the fuck are you talking about?

[harriettewinslow]

I can't believe this was made back in 1971. It looks so recent like it was made in 2001 instead.

[ezrhino100]

more like "the trajedy of roman polanski".

[kinkifreak]

I hate the fact that the young witch has bangs. Kill her.

[JUANMO94]

this is the cool kind of magic, evil, spells, etc. Not like harry fagpotter.

[XxFaeyorMoonChildxX]

@JUANMO94

Lmao,

[eric8rays]

check out my macbeth video

[Centurion480]

Macbeth ends up killing Duncan and becoming King

[Cliffs0fDover]

I'd hate to spoil the ending, but...MACBETH DIES OOOO NOOO

[blessthemax]

@Cliffs0fDover its not like that is a surprise ending. its drama...

[TempleOfSin]

@Cliffs0fDover O damn, you've ruined the ending. I just hate it when people ruin the endings to new shows- oh, hold on, Macbeth was first peformed in 1605.

It appears you'd have to go back over 300 years to ruin the ending.:P

[leanderpace]

there are many witches in t mobile's call centre giving false commitments on mobile contracts.. i dont like t mobile call centre.. sorry

[DarthZimmeris]

"...when the hurly-burly starts. When the battle's lost and won."

"That would be ere the set of sun."

"Where the place?" "Upon the heath." "There to meet with... Macbeth!"

:)

[dagbli]

What a..........??

[sammackpoole]

Scooda, it is a play, not a book. Sounds like you want to open your mind to an excellent piece of drama instead of being an ignoramus.

[Scooda912]

This shit is so dumm smh my english 4 teacher made us read this book in school

[cloud491]

@draegnarr yeah i agree mate, the other witches r skanky

[draegnarr]

Man Witch2 is hot. :P

[R3KAB3J]

"I just got done with Macbeth in school. We had to make a video and if you want to see it, it's on my channel."

[morningsnoopy]

shakespear too real liberties with celtic history - the real king macbeth was a warrior king among warrior kings who did not scheme to gain the throne any more or less than duncan or malcolm. King Macbeth of Scotland was the last of the true celt lineage to rule, these facts are sadly overlooked thanks to willie shakespear.

[DoubleEyeDominance]

@morningsnoopy boo fucking hoo. All fantasy is based in some way or another off of real events. So don't take your ignorance out on Shakespeare.

[heliotropezzz333]

@morningsnoopy Don't blame William Shakespeare too much. He was writing to please James I of England who was also James VI of Scotland. He was superstitious and believed in witchcraft. He was also descended from Banquo, who in real life was a traitor, and Macbeth was more of a good guy but he needed to change the story to please James. Anyway it's a drama, not a history.

[TempleOfSin]

@morningsnoopy Oh well, at least Polanski decided to depict him as a real badass instead of a manipulative tyrant who hides behind his soldiers.

[morbentfel]

@TempleOfSin

i loved the badass macbeth depiction as well! protagonists should have noble qualities like that..

[P4brains]

oohh -sigh- poor, poor Roman :( i feel terrible for him. what a great director, its despicable what he went through :,(

[hrothgleas]

What he went through?

After drugging and raping a 13-year-old when he was in his 40's? Pleading guilty to it, then fleeing custody?

Maybe he's a fine director - doesn't stop him from being a criminal, too.

[P4brains]

@hrothgleas yea he probably did that because the worst thing you could imagine happened to his friends and pregnant wife. hes probably all fucked up because of it. you would be to.

[hrothgleas]

I apologize - wasn't even thinking of that, and I should know better.

I don't accept it as an excuse, but it was a horrible loss.

[P4brains]

@hrothgleas yea poor thing :( he is probably so broken and confused i think anyone would have done something stupid rather it be rape or burglary idk but its sad :<

[hrothgleas]

So confused he thought it was ok to drug and rape a 13-year old?

Sorry, not buying it.

[P4brains]

@hrothgleas hes messed in the head now. duh anyone would be. besides the woman doesnt want anything to do with it. she said shes not mad she just wants to put it behind her.

[hrothgleas]

It's not just about her. It's partly about protecting other children, and about flaunting the law.

[stephantom]

@P4brains Did you just say "rape or burglary" like they're on the same level?

[P4brains]

@stephantom no i said LIKE rape OR burglary as in they are BOTH stupid. not on the same lvl just giving examples. -_-

[rosa899101]

i memorized that line but i didnt put the periods and who says what

[rosa899101]

when shall we meet again? in thunder lightning or in rain. when the hurly burlys done when the battles lost and won. that be ere the set of sun. where the place. upon the heath there to meet macbeth i came greymalkin paddock calls anon fair is foul and foul is fair hover through the fog and filthy air

[boobylandmaster]

[polishskaterdude32]

FUCKING HATE THIS FILM!

[KilVall]

Really? I think this is the best Macbeth out there.

[heliotropezzz333]

@polishskaterdude32 Well at least you are not indifferent to it. That's good. Shakespeare would have liked your strong reaction.

[18andreab]

When shall we three meet again? How about next Tuesday! Terry Pratchett interference!

[grummeper]

5 *****

[MrChandiraG]

[saiyanprince09]

I actually watched this movie in my lit class in my senior year of high school. Freaky ass stuff. But then again it was Polansky directing, so can you really be surprised?

[johnnyphoenix74]

Fuckin Shakespeare, Fuck yeah.

[Ricardo72]

Fuckin' A. Shakespeare's fuckin' sweet dude. I'm so stoked you uploaded this.

[jjww246]

Fuckin' Dick.

[Chico313]

@Ricardo72 Colloquial reverence for Shakespeare is a great thing to see....

Bravo, good sir

[ShinigamiBoy13]

@Ricardo72 shakespeare sux

[DarthZimmeris]

@ShinigamiBoy13 No... you suck.

As does your mother.

[nodamal]

the best play of all time, made an excellent movie

[joegagen]

It was Polanski's depiction of the witches that made me do an about-face and present the witches as irrestible sirens -- petulant, flighty and sexy -- who have this enormous effect on Macbeth. The film's called "Macbeth in Manhattan," and I was co-writer and producer. It was well-reviewed in Variety and elsewhere but never got a theatrical release. You can find it on dvd. Joe Gagen

[JustinandEric1]

My friend and I made a song about Macbeth for an english project. The class liked it so much, that they told us to put it on youtube. Well, we did. You should check it out on my channel =)

[heremit979]

I'm certainly one of these witches.....

[avallonmist]

Thanks for the info; I've been wanting to see a movie of quality about Macbeth. I think the witches are the most interesting part of the play.

[inucrazy07]

anyone seen the macbeth where it starts with him and others in the army and lady macbeth is young , blond, and beautiful. at the dinner party, the men wore nice tuxs.?

[andrewjackbarton]

there is supposed to be thunder and lightning!! polanski killed it

[CARAthePOET]

macbeth was brilliant!

[galvaton10000]

I loved reading Macbeth it was one of the greatest plays ever written!!!

[ToubukiChan]

macbethh is theeeeeeeeeeee longest story in my whole language arts book haha. its pittiful

[tacs74]

gracias por subir estas escenas...agradeceria aun mas traducirlas al español para el publico hispano

[briggspower]

we are watching this at school and this was the only scene i liked just cause the witches talk so funny

[psbfan01]

exactly!!! it sounds very funny/strange when you try to imitate them

[BenKongPhoey]

i fucking hate this play, and i hate this fucking essay that i need to do it on.

[GroucherMarx]

I can see that in the erudition of your eloquence. The venerable bard must be verdigris in envy.

[mike8reborn]

lol amen

[heliotropezzz333]

@BenKongPhoey Ah then the effort will be good for the soul - good luck.

[heliotropezzz333]

@BenKongPhoey On one level this is just a great creepy gory story - just think of it like that- it might help.

[timmehtimmehtimmehti]

BenKongPhoey same man!

[InnerVenom123]

I LOVE the witches in this movie and the play.

[psbfan01]

Yes, I would love it if someone would post the other scenes they were in, in this film. Which one is supposed to be blind - the one in black?

[aquakid360]

wanna notice something kinda cool? see how the ground is all wet and sandy? you would leave footprints if you walked through it, right? the witches are supposedly these supernatural being, watch from 2:24 on as they walk away. they dont leave a single mark upon the ground. crappy effects? i think not

[ubertastic69]

@aquakid360 Actually it wouldnt be crappy effects, it would be the sand itself, when it is wet it reforms itself pretty past so you don't show much of a footprint... if any

[zuleikabullock]

@aquakid360

omg thts so true :)

[zeldalovergirl]

lol we're watching this in school. Everybody laughs at the old graphics and acting, but it has some kind of authentic value... or something

[Missdontgetmestarted]

what happened to the thunders?? this scene is supposed to be dark and full of tension, preanouncing the tragedy following, but instead it's rather calm and even bright...

[xEmmaCharlotteWatson]

that's just the directors interperetation of the scene, it didn't actually happen in the play though, you're quite right.

[evilolive3000]

has anybody here seen 'Macbeth - a comedie'?

cause its on our YouTube page. its sppofs the Welles version.

just slaying

[solcab75]

Fair is foul and foul is fair, hover through the fog and filthy air.

When shall we three meet again

In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

[Gimmer3]

Spooky cool!

[ysbaddaden2003]

Actually what they are doing is not so much Witchcraft as it is peasant magic. Traditionally Witchcraft was the summoning of spirits or "demons" to do your bidding.

Albertus Magnus in his Boke of Secretes wrote of such practices of peasant magic, although presumably the use of body parts was never encouraged, and may've led to people stealing their portion of the Holy Eucharist, instead of swallowing it, for use in spells.

[jFizzlfication]

I'd say Macbeth is the best Shakespear play

[FrannyFromance]

and i'd agree.

[xEmmaCharlotteWatson]

same here, i just love the supernatural qualities and the all round evil influence the witches had on macbeth; they were only in three scenes in the play yet their actions really permeates the entire plot.

[SteyrAUG2009]

god this movie bores the shit outta me. but i gotta watch it for exams..

[secretsocietywinks]

Lol! Yeah....same :-)

[Gimmer3]

spooky I like this clip!

[indiana111111]

oh my i want to throw a dick in the old blind one

[lamfsc]

someone waste their english prep on here plz

[URfaycePFFT]

aren't the witches supposed to have beards?
