Bullet Time: There aren't any bullets in 11th century Scotland, but the opening battle scenes have a lot of slo-mo Bullet Time sequences where you can see swords slowly slicing through the air and individual droplets of blood flying.Macduff joins in but his expression indicates that he already has doubts. Awesome Moment of Crowning: A scene not found in the play has Macbeth being crowned in a church while all the nobles in attendance cry "Hail Macbeth!".Audible Sharpness: Heard when Macbeth pulls out one of the guard's daggers in order to murder Duncan.The drunk porter who pops up in the play after Duncan's murder to provide comic relief is also omitted. Adapted Out: Donalbain, a basically pointless character from the play, does not appear.Considering that there have been many French queen consorts in Scotland, this isn't too far off the mark. Adaptational Nationality: Lady Macbeth, originally a Scottish character, is now French in this film.This one stands out for a very down-to-earth approach where the magic events may just be hallucinations and a period-appropriate setting of grimy, dark 11th-century Scotland. Adaptational Mundanity: Historical faithfulness was never a big focus of Shakespeare's, and most adaptations follow suit with varying aesthetics and supernatural dealings.There is a scene in the play where Lady Macbeth says "I have given suck", which, combined with Macduff's later "He has no children!", does indicate that at some point in the past the Macbeths lost a child.
