The best screen adaptation of Macbeth.

Ever.

Great movie! Great adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth. My favorite.

@pimphofoo Thank you kindly!!,I am much obliged.Fate is a weird concept,but one I cannot seem to doubt."I am what I am,someone has to be"seems very true to me,even if that makes me a villain.Again,thank you!

@crazyboyfromjapan His representations of the "three" were perfect imo.

@Pancerni I'll try to dig up my thesis paper from college English, it was about whether or not Throne of Blood was a tale of Fatalism to a greater extent than Macbeth, which I always took as a tale primarily about incredibly flawed humanity. To this day I maintain that it was but it's always fun to talk about.

Oh, no.. not her again!

外国の方にも評判で意外です

[Pancerni]

The part towards the end in which Washizu asks the evil spirit about his fate and the three other entities appear,. . . I am obsessed with it and have re-wound it again and again and again.I dig the booming laughter of the second demon.Also"If you follow the path of bloodshed,then reach the very pinnacle of evil".Words to live by.

This is great stuff! If you enjoy the horror / suspense aspects of this film you should definitely check out 'Onibaba' as well.
