Write a large paragraph response for each of the following
topics:
1. Discuss how Japanese Noh theatrical elements are used in
Kurosawa’s
Throne of Blood
(e.g., music, masking, setting, characterization, acting,
movement). How do they contribute to the theme’s
“timelessness”? What is that theme?
2. Is Kurosawa’s
Throne of Blood
a loose adaptation of
Macbeth
or more an original work of art? Which important elements are
retained from Shakespeare’s play and which are modified or
deleted? Is the film closer to being an original work of art or is
it clearly an adaptation of Shakespeare’s
Macbeth
?
3. Research the historical context of Kurosawa’s 1957 film
(Japan after defeat in WWII and after the dropping of a nuclear
bomb). In what way do illusions of power drive the monarchs,
both in Japan and in
Macbeth
? Why does Kurosawa choose Shakespeare’s
Macbeth
to reflect on the historical conditions of his time, and not some
other play?
