1. Did you like this film in general? I like it in a way that it is an average adaption of the book but i prefer the book version, because The wide-screen visuals swamp the dialogue, and the thematics have been turned inside out, even the acting is somehow lifeless,which is the common cons of book to movie adaptions.
2. Did you agree with the main theme/purpose that the film wants to convey? Why or why not? Yes, I agreed w/ the movies main theme and purpose which is primarily to portray fixation on murder, cruelty, pride and ambition.
3. What specifically did you like/dislike about the film? Why? The acting and some of the scenes have a weak dialogue.
4. What lesson or insight have you learned from the film? Don't let greed get the best of you. Learn to be contented. When MacBeth he is not happy with the title of Thane but he is not content with that, he wants to be king, and in the end that leads to his death and fall.
5. Did the author/actors/director do a good job in the film? Why or why not? Some of them did a good job but in general the actors are lifeless and boring.
6. What particular changes would you like to recommend to further enhance the quality of the film? How could it be further improved? It can be improved by making the acting a little bit theatrical and alive. More pacing and camera angles should be implemented.

1. No, it's really really really boring. Maybe if they made it more interesting. 2. Yes, because I think it is unique, though you will still clearly see the story same to the book. 3. It's version I guess? The movie was dull. The students wouldn't learn from it. 4. Life is cruel, that there will always be tragic scenes of your life. (emo) 5. NO!!! They sucked! I'd make a better film ot of it! ;D 6. Give it more humor, more color, more sound effects. The movie sucks. The professor might want to change the movie with another.

1. Well, just to be true to myself, i did not like the film. It was an awful array of the film. Visual-wise, the film exploited the sights, but deleted the auditory chanels making it difficult to unmderstand. If i havent read the story, i would be awestruck at the visuals but be definately stunned about howthe story goes.
2. Yes, i agree. If i see things correctly, the theme of dreaming too big makes a spoiled egg. We should take thins slowly, avoid temptations and live life to its fullest, seizing the day, and rocking like there is no tomorrow.
3. Likes.. Well, i like the thought of making the ever famous book a movie. but i would have seen it in a ver, very different way. Dislikes? i hate the audio.
4. Insights? Well it taught me the ever undeniable lust for pride and power. It exploited my thoughts on how to create a kingdom. And how it can ruin me in a spanm of days.
5. The only one who did the best job is the author. William Shakespeare. The plot was most definately absolute. It was whimsical, sad to say it wasn't justified by the film.
6. A better director, a better set of actors, i mean, a whole new production staff. better People.

1. it was okey, classic movies do not entertain me that much, though the story was very appealing to me, the film in general was quite alright. 2. yes! it shows that ambition combined with an evil way of thinking will inevitably lead to chaos. it also shows the other side of men which is basically filled with hate, pride, anger and dishonesty. 3. I liked the plot of the film simply because it once again reminds us of what people are capable of, one thing i dislike about the film was mainly the fact that it was classic and old. 4. I have learned that there is nothing wrong in having an ambition, whats wrong is the fact that we try so hard to obtain it, we forget or should i say ignore right from wrong. 5. I believe that they did a good job making the film in that period of time, it was not so appealing to me, obviously because of my modern view on film, anyway, they were good! ;D 6. If they would make a remake on macbeth, it would be very interesting! i would like to see the improvement of the visual effects and of course i would be excited to know who they would give the roles to.

1. Did you like this film in general? Why? - Honestly, No. I didn't appreciate the film that much although i love tragedy. Why? Because It's quite boring. 2. Did you agree with the main theme/purpose that the film wants to convey? Why or why not? - I agree. Watching a film is better than reading. 3. What specifically did you like/dislike about the film? Why? - It has a poor quality of sound. SABoggg! So, I have no idea of what should be my like or dislike in the film because I don't understand the story well. 4. What lesson or insight have you learned from the film? - "Deceiving others may seem difficult, but deceiving oneself leads to a bigger problems". 5. Did the author/actors/director do a good job in the film? Why or why not? - Yes. why not? I believe na Lahat ng nagtratrabaho in making a film is sobrang hirap. Kaya once na they made it, Ibig sabihin they are totally good. 6. What particular changes would you like to recommend to further enhance the quality of the film? How could it be further improved? - I'm looking for something that would made my eyes more bigger. Astonishing effects would be much appreciated kasi hindi ako nkuntento sa nkita ko. BORING.

1. No... it doesn't capture my attention. the more i tried to watch it, the more i felt sleepy... ahihi 2. Yes, what actually in the book could be see in the film. 3. I don't like the way it was created... it's too boring. but i was amazed with the dialogues, its like you're listening to a poem full of figurative languages. 4. Lesson?>> Don't be greedy and be contented of what you have! 5. The Author... yes! but the actors and directors not at all... because I'm considering the time it was made as in good effects can't be initiate yet. 6. Make a new version of the film...

1. No, the movie is not that interesting to watch for...sorry
2. Yes, I understand it when i had read the book, its the same with the movie. It delivered somethings that a reader or the one watching it can relate.
3. Only the way that the movie was done, its not that enjoyable to watch, maybe because its an classic movie.
4. Its tells us that every person should be satisfied to the things that they received. And things of it us a blessing and should be thankful for it.
5. The author of the book did a good job in making a story like this. But regarding on the people who made the film there is some bad points in what they had produce.
6. If ever they should produce new version of the movie and make it more interesting and enjoyable to watch.

1. no, because i find it boring. i really don't like this kind of movie. 2. yes, because it had shown successfully what really happened in the book. 3. honestly i don't really like it.. It is hard for the first timers to understand it. it should be watched twice or thrice before we can fully understand its story. 4. Don't be greedy because it will not bring any good to you.. 5. for me, no, because if its really good it will really catch my attention and it will interests me. But unfortunately, it has no impact.. 6. New version I think. A better version..

1. Yes, actually I like watching old movies. I usually watch my dad's collection of old movies.. 2. Yes. getting something which originated from bad thing is a curse. like stealing something just to sustain your ambitions or needs. 3. none actually. i must admit the movie was kind of boring and doesn't have a good effects but i cannot blame it. the film/movie world was not that high-tech during those time. 4. Do not be greedy. wait for your turn. Always earn things from good hands. 5. not too good. The acting was not that realistic i believe. 6. re-film it in a modernized way. i'm sure it will be a hit.!
