Act 3 Scene 1 - 4 Movie Edition

Both the old version and modern version were quite similar but that way it was shown was quite different.  I notice that the modern version was more dramatic than the old one and the scenes were different.  Especially during the scene where the ghost of Banquo appeared.    When I mean the scenes were different, I meant that they added an extra scene like the dancing part where one of the noblemen had to dance with a mop.  That never happened in the older version.  Another scene that was different was when they killed the mercenaries Macbeth had hired.  It showed us how they chased and the death location of each separate mercenaries before they could've delivered the message to Macbeth.  In the older version, it showed us that they were killed after they had delivered the message of there success and failure.  A smaller detail of change was how Macbeth made broke the cigarette and left the stuff in it on a noblemen's head.  That didn't happen in the older version.  The biggest difference from the modern one to the old one (scene wise) is when the ghost of Banquo appeared.  The modern one didn't really showed Macbeth being scared or frighten of Banquo, if they intended him to be frighten, they did a poorly job of showing it.  In the older version, it showed Macbeth being extremely scared and frighten when he saw the ghost of Banquo.  The biggest difference overall is the tone the character uses.  The modern one is more aggressive and angry while the older one is more calm.
