Review of Macbeth

I really appreciate the effort to make this film. Not many of The Bards masterpieces can be pulled off in a true modern adaptation like Baz Lurhmans 1996 Rome and Juliet. Some elements were creative, like using school girls for the Weird Sisters, and Narco Wars for feudal times. But did Lady MacBeth have to be coke fueled and barren? I found it a shame that they chose to omit the porter at the gate. These are the elements that give Shakespears work richness and timeliness. I hope Hollywood keeps trying to make modern versions of Shakespeares work. When they pull it off it's magnificent. I can envision Julius Caesar set in a modern capitol.
