A Netflix queue for Fleance. May Banquo RIP.

For starters, I don't have a Netflix account so I'll be choosing shows from all over. I doubt this matters for the blog post but its just a forewarning. 

Now since I'm catering this list to Fleance and my assumptions of his personality I need to make some probably inaccurate guesses. So Merry Christmas Fleance! Lets look at some media that should take your mind off your dead father and impending pressure of ruling Scotland! 
    "Murderer 3, I will find you."
     Taken (1,2, and 3 =D)  Behold Fleance! This first trilogy of movies should help you get over your definite fear of both criminals and killers! In taken, a father played by Liam Neeson saves his kidnapped daughter from the murderers sent by Macbeth to prevent you from taking the throne. But, in this movie, Banquo will save his son and kill all of the opposing murderers and kidnappers sent by the movies Macbeth equivalent. No doubt you'll enjoy the sequels as well as you watch Liam Neeson and director jump the shark as his character hunts down murderers not twice, but THREE times! Fleance will love this film as a means to keep his mind off the impending pressure of taking the throne under the witches prophecy, as well as, a means to take his mind of his dead father Banquo!
     Seriously shout out to the EE. 
    The Lord of the Rings trilogy! 
    A better movie to summarize Fleance's life has never been made! (except maybe the Macbeth movies). Watch Fleance, as the young Frodo Baggins goes on a long journey across lands much like your own, and, all without a father no less! If Frodo and Sam could do it, then surely Fleance too can resist the temptation of power's corruption and rise above Macbeths example as leader of Scotland. Take the teaching of Frodo fleance and learn that perhaps only with help from a friend will you fully survive the corruption of absolute power. Heres hoping Fleance, that you find your own precious, resist the temptations of Sauron (with witches) and rule Scotland fair and just. Atleast until a sequel comes out.

    Star Wars (The Original Trilogy, dont worry i wouldn't do that to you Fleance)
    Assuming you haven't yet got over your father troubles, maybe this will help! Watch as Luke faces off against the absolute power of the Imperials and the Dark Side (Witchcraft lets be real) only to find out that their biggest baddy is his very own daddy! At least yours died to save you, Luke's was a witch all along! Hopefully Fleance will find some peace in knowing his Dad died a hero. Perhaps the similarities between Banquo and Darth Vader will help Fleance find peace in his rule over Scotland (hopefully). In fact, I'd say Emperor Palpatine and Vader are a lot like a alternate reality where Macbeth convinces Banquo to fully embrace the prophecy and subjugates him under his leadership. Well i hope that helps Fleance rest easy knowing that his father at least died resisting the temptations of evil prophecy.

    Home Alone
    Merry Christmas Fleance! You'll definitely love this one. In Home Alone a young boy evades two criminals (whatever right? you avoided three) and manages torture them the whole time as this child home alone on Christmas Eve sets traps aplenty up for his foes to enjoy. Maybe you'll even be reminded of the run from the murderers you yourself did without parents, until of course the creepy serial killer drive-way shovel-er comes to save you from the murderers. (Take any form but this i beg of thee).  In watching this Fleance, you'll probably find yourself rooting for the young boy till the end.

    Craigslist Joe 
    Depending on how you look at Fleance's life, you'll see the similarities here. After Banquo is killed, Fleance has to flee his home and essentially everything hes ever known. Well so did this guy whom gave up his whole life, worldly possessions and contacts to begin life from scratch with nothing but the essentials. Like Fleance, this guy has to face the world empty handed and build from the bottom up (until the witches prophecy makes him king of course). As a final film in Fleance's queue, i hope this will raise his faith in humanity as he witnesses some rather flaterring acts of kindness by complete strangers who just want to help a guy without anything to his name.

    Fleance, I hope you're not emotional. These all may hit close to home.

    Exeunt.
