Polanski’s Macbeth includes the three witches, which is located on an open gloomy beach. The clothing the witches are wearing looks like something the pour people would wear in the middle age. The great thing about the three witches in Polanski’s version is that, he makes the witches look like normal, but still weird old women, but the audience will still figure out that they are something supernatural, and doesn’t look like creatures from the earth. The thing the three witches predict for Macbeth is also another sign, that they are supernatural plus the covering with sand on the arm, and blood. The place the scene takes place very open, and the viewer can quickly sense that something up. The waves are swept quietly up on the beach. The clouds have gathered and you can almost feel the moist air is there because of the fog that has settled over the beach. You can clearly sense that there is a sombre mood.
The Macbeth (1997) is not that different but there are a few changes. The scene begins with the three witches vision of Macbeth slaying Duncan. The clip switches between the three witches and the war on the battlefield. In the end of the battle Macbeth fulfils his destiny and kills Duncan. After that the three witches starts to tell about Macbeth’s prophecy. The two witches on the left and right side seems really annoying, compared to the one in the middle. The two others seem to silly, and not special witch like, in relation to the witch in the middle with the black hair, and to Polanski’s Macbeth. I like the witch with the black hair because she more serious compared to the two other witches plus she the only one with their hair loose. The two other witches have their hood on, which is both greys. I think that one in the middle with the black hair would fit a lot better in Polanski’s Macbeth. I think the Macbeth (1997) has tried to capture the witch the most people are familiar with. A real witch is a bit wicked, and has a crazy
