MACBETH IN CINEMA: 'The throne of Blood' and 'Maqbool'

My task ... is by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel - it is before all, to make you see.

- Joseph Conrad (1897)

To make the mind see ... That is the definition of good literature ... It is also a definition of the ideal film.
- Herbert Read (1945)

Because I was a student of literature before I studied filmmaking, both me and my Professor thought it would be a good idea for me to write about something that drew from both. Therefore this. Not all the thoughts expressed here are mine, I read a lot of articles and books before i sat down to write this, and the influence of what I read is, to me atleast, very obvious.
