OBJ: To deploy our critical language effectively to “review” a scene (AO1)
To explore and probe AO2
Word of the day: Braggadocio (boastful or arrogant behaviour.)
In a good review, you should be able to evaluate different productions, you also need to show your own interpretations of the character. It is important that you add some well placed judiciously placed quotes, in addition it is good to add a layer of what of other critiques have said about the production.
Critique of Polanski's adaptation of the Macbeth banquet scene:
Finch's portrayal of Macbeth in this scene conveys a Macbeth who, despite his best efforts, cannot maintain his façade of being innocent and is being crushed by his mind “full of scorpions”. Finch's performance shows none of the braggadocio of Stewart's performance and presents himself as more human than Stewart's interpretation of a 'starlinesque' Dictator.
Arguably, Shakespeare wanted Macbeth to be presented as a noble king mildly affected by the death of the King, and then broken by the vision of Banquo's ghost.
