My 5th grade teacher showed us this after reading Macbeth


It was pretty cool, a little short i might of appreciated it a little more if i knew who akira kurosawa was at the time.

That is absolutely wonderful to hear that elementary school teachers introduce kids when they're young to such movies that are often mistaken for strictly high-brow arthouse cinema, when they aren't. They're just top-notch movies. If more of that were to happen, maybe the pitiful commercial mainstay would change.

I'm glad to hear that too, i am just shocked that they didn't think the end was a bit gory for kids. But i am glad you got to see it.

I'm more surprised that you read Macbeth in 5th grade. The play seems to be a bit violent and Shakespeare's language might be over the heads of many 5th graders.
