i have watched four macbeths in the last three days and i can say definitively

i'm most interested in the ones where birnam wood actually physically arrives at dunsenane. the forest should manifest physically in the castle. (denzel/coen, throne of blood)

the lineage part of the plot doesn't hit very hard for me, not the way it would to people in the 1600s

there are interpretations where the supernatural is something created by man's actions (pstew, kinnear), where the supernatural comes from forces of nature (throne of blood), and where the source of the supernatural is ambiguous (denzel/coen). i'm most interested in the last two

it is great when the witches are just casually around, causing horror (pstew)

every single production has done something different & interesting with ross. LOVED the denzel/coen ross in particular

when they were making the denzel/coen macbeth, they definitely sat down and watched throne of blood about fifteen or twenty times

visually i liked the denzel/coen the best. kinnear humanizes mac the most. pstew is the one that goes around in your head the most afterwards. throne of blood really makes you think about silence; a lot of the soliloquies are boiled down to one gesture or a moment of eye contact, but the sense of them is still there. it's masterful.

con o'neill would make a good macbeth but i think a GREAT macduff

(DS9 spoilers) idk man i just feel like there's something significant about the fact that we don't find out Winn Adami's given name until she tells it to Dukat and begins her slow moral demise. We don't find out many details about her resistance activities until then, too. The audience is given these little humanizing details about her even as she moves farther and farther away from redeemability, and it almost turns her into a tragic figure.
