Polanski Review of Macbeth
From what I remember about the movie (which isn't much seeing as we watched it over a month ago), it is extremely difficult for me to draw conclusions as to how it related to the events that occurred in Roman Polanski's life. I honestly do not feel that the events of Polanski's life had any bearing on the making of the movie Macbeth. It may have been purely coincidental that he accepted the position as director
In the play it is unknown) show no correlation between Polanski's life experiences. The events of Polanski's life were tragic, as was the plot for the movie and play, but just because they seem to coincide with one another does not mean that it was of any fault or reflection of the events of the past year in Polanski's life. The commonality between the movie and his life are that many people died horrible, tragic, bloody deaths for no reason. However this would have been the plot line for the movie whether or not Polanski directed it. So to draw conclusions and say that the movie turned out the way it did because Polanski directed it would be incorrect. So to say that the changes he made from the play to the movie were a reflection of his life would also be incorrect because there is absolutely no connection. Also the minor changes between the play and the movie such as Ross being portrayed as the third murderer (in the movie, not the play) and Lady Macbeth committing suicide by jumping out of a window (in the movie. of a movie with so many gory murder scenes, which may have led people into believing that it was a reflection of his own life when in reality it wasn't.
