The old film and modern film are both same but was adapted differently. In the old film, the director added a scene where it shows Macbeth killing the King when he woke up. In the modern film, the director didn't show the part where Macbeth would kill the king. Another difference is that in the old version, it given the viewer to what Macbeth sees with the floating dagger while in the modern version, it didn't show the viewer that he is seeing a floating dagger. Another difference is how Macbeth and lady Macbeth acted to every sound they hear. In the old version, they weren't as frighten as they were in the modern version.
I didn't really like how the modern version didn't show the dagger Macbeth imagined since it made him look crazy. Just having the camera face him as he says words of the dagger doesn't feel right, it leaves the suspense for the time he goes and kill the king.
I think the part where Macbeth and lady Macbeth acted scared when they heard every single bit of sound was effected. It shows how scared they are after they have murdered the king and hope they have enough time to calm down from it and be able to come up with a plan to blame someone else. The banging sound in the old version is effective too since it's going to send a shock the Macbeth and make him think that the guards found out he is the murderer.
If I was the director, I would probably get rid of the noise they hear or at least reduce down since it doesn't feel right. I'll just have 1 sound appear once and the rest to be the banging noise. I'll also show the scene where Macbeth murders the king.
