the film version suits the characters because if you didn't understand that she killed herself in the book because it doesn't say she kills herself but in the film you get a slight clip it of her scene and that explains it well. I think that they film version of the macbeths was good because it was pretty similar to the books version of his death. He holds up Macbeths head which shows his control/power he wanted. The final little weird part was there just to add some suspense to the play overall
