Have people not heard of narrative archetypes??
eg.
X meets Y
X falls in love
Breakup
Reunion between X and Y
Happy ever after.
Zomg, all movies are the same!

Not only that, but I went to Strange Brew when it came out...I was a bit slow on the uptake...but when they headed up the hill to Elsinore Brewery, I sat up in my seat and said: "Oh my god...it's MACBETH!!!!!"

Kinda like Avatar....that breakthrough movie that has changed the world with its message of hope!
Dances with Wolves/The Last Samuri with blue people....
Two civilizations in war over land...
One soldier is captured and accepted by the other army...
soldier eventually becomes friends with army...
Soldier falls in love...
Soldiers fights in war with other army...
The end.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Obviously the pig and the rat were Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern.

Richard Dreyfus was in it if I recall correctly.

More as a reward than anything but they had to take notes on the similarities and differences. Not as direct a retelling as "O Brother Where Art Thou" was with "The Odyssey" but it clearly is loosely based on Willie Shakes' play.
Of course the list of differences is that Macbeth did not feature:
A flying dog that drinks beer
A drug to make mental ward patients play hockey and fight
Use of a lie detector to tell if someone was lying about farting
Bullets being shot out of a nose in a courtroom
But Bob & Doug are clearly Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. |
