Netflix Chillin

The ideal Netflix playlist for Macbeth would need to include how someone achieves greatness even due to adversity, teaches him how to learn from his mistakes, and helps him grow as a person.  Today, there are many creations in tv or movies that would have been great exemplars for Macbeth to help him be better in many ways and be more successful.

1) Coach Carter

• Coach Carter is a movie about a newly hired basketball team and his less then mature basketball team.  The members of the team grew up in a struggling area which has created bad habits which lead to bad grades and difficulty working together as a team.  The movie focuses on how Coach Carter changes the attitudes of all the team member in the classroom and on the court and how it changes the ability to win games and they compete for a state championship.  This would be a great example of perseverance for Macbeth.  Even though Coach Carter was faced with so much adversity he kept trying, he had players quitting and was even forced to lock the gym for weeks until his players received good enough grades.  Coach Carter was willing to do whatever necessary to stick to his morals and to also make his players into the best young men as possible.  Macbeth could have seen this as an example that he needed to do everything possible in his power to be succesful to keep his position as king and more importantly keep his life.

2) Best of Me

• I think that Macbeth could have benefited greatly by a better relationship with his wife.  Due to the lack of their relationship there ability to be succesful as possible was affected.  Macbeth did not always listen to his wife and his wife did not always listen to him.  At first Macbeth was afraid to carry out their plan and Lady Macbeth didn't listen and that is what led to so many of their problems.  Later on Macbeth didn't listen to his wife after they had carried out their plan and she got skeptical and his lack of attention to her eventually led to both of them dying.  The Best of Me would have been revealing to Macbeth, and also his wife, the importance of loving someone completely with all of yourself.  The movie is about a couple that grew up as a couple together but then the boy goes to jail over a freak accident where his friend gets killed.  He decides that it is best to end the relationship.  The movie then picks up later on in life and they reunite and fall back in love.  Eventually the girl's current son gets hurt in the crash and her boyfriend from when she was younger also was hurt and was braindead and her son received a heart transplant from her old boyfriend.  I think that this would've shown Macbeth the importance of relying on your love to help you in all ways no matter what and that it is important to be there and to also listen to the other.

3) Forever Strong

• Forever strong would play a similar importance to Coach Carter.  It would show him the importance of perseverance. the will, and the work it takes to be succesful.  The movie is about a spectacular rugby star that almost completely ruins his chance to play the game he loves.  He gets in trouble with the law and is forced to spend time in jail and loses time with the game he loves.  When first returning from prison he meets and new coach and is invited to play for another team.  This team functions completely different then what he is used to and it makes him almost want to quit.  But he learns from the new coach and the players during his time on the team. He learns how to be stronger mentally and learns to put up with the expectations and perseveres and eventually helps lead the team to a national title.  I think this would have helped show Macbeth that even though things might be rough like when his wife died that if he had persevered then he would have eventually overcome his struggles. 

4) Marvel's Daredevil

• I think that this series would have been a great series that reinforces the idea that Macbeth isn't the only person that does significantly wrong things for themselves.  This series is about a man that was once blind and his regaining of his sight.  With the acquirement of this sense then man is able to fight for what he believes in.  He believes his city is being ruined and he thinks that it is necessary for him to fight the evil in his city to make it better.  I think that this is similar to Macbeth's choice to kill to become king, he and his wife believed it was something he needed to do and to do so he had to kill.  Daredevil believes that it is his job to clean up the city and he is willing to do whatever he needs to clean it up.
