      'Miscellaneous' after watching "Macbeth"

      ·This is a movie that can't express feelings even with tears. Macbeth is a man who is more beastly than animals. Comparing our present society from this film, human nature is evolutionary, and it is precisely people who coexist with good and evil. Compared with Macbeth's greed for the rich and powerful, people today have less violent and bloody scenes, but more clever tricks. It seems that human beings can't be considered evolution in the end. If everyone can't control their own desires,...

      flowers of desire

      "Macbeth" is about an aristocratic hero, Macbeth, who returned from fighting a rebellion. He met witches on the road. They gave him and Banquo some prophecies. , Macbeth would become king of Scotland, and since he had no heirs, Banquo's descendants would become kings. Then the witches disappeared into the wind. Later, the witches were fulfilled one by one, Macbeth fell into the madness of power, and lived with the fanaticism of power and the fear of usurping the throne after Banquo, and...

      thought provoking

      The background music and the atmosphere at the beginning really made people feel a little scared, and the witches kept standing there motionless, watching the fight, and they became even more cautious in their hearts. The main ending is the look in the child's eyes when he pulled the sword, a kind of will to identify, but it also makes people look scared. It really is one of the four major tragedies, and the ending is heartbreaking. In fact, generally speaking, it is difficult to adapt a...

      The tragedy is rendered everywhere, but the tragedy is not accidental

      Playing up tragedies everywhere makes tragedies predictable instead of surprises.

      I haven't read the original book, but I have heard a little about it. After reading it, I was convinced by the language and liked the character's shaping and psychological description. But there are too many descriptions, so much that the rhythm of the film is super slow, knowing what is going to happen, but not being able to act there, it is very "suffocating". Aside from the beautiful scenery, beautiful...

      The exaggerated and contrived rhythm makes people feel tight and short of breath

      Just like the other tragic son of Shakespeare, Hamlet, that I read in the library, I still don't like his tragic son Macbeth.

      After the brave and fearless Macbeth defeated many enemies with brutality on the battlefield, he became the eminent Sir Court without any suspense. Road: Either be killed by the emperor, or kill the emperor to seize the throne. And Macbeth chose the latter. If there is a slight difference, it is the queen who blames the source of the sin on...

      What a wonderful viewing experience: it may be because the rhythm is too slow. Even if you can't understand old English, you can slowly enter the tragic picture with blood seeping through the beautiful and cruel...

      We've seen too many movies that deconstruct Shakespeare's masterpieces, and this Macbeth does a perfect job: it's faithful to the original, but also conveys the psychological and emotional changes of the protagonist through stylized images, the effect of cross-editing is also quite remarkable, and all the actors The performances are of a very high...

      Western version of "Assassin Nie Yinniang". The overall feeling is very good, and the splashy colors of the large picture add a strong texture to the whole story, which is a test of the skill of speaking lines, and the performance of the two protagonists is...

      French Shark and Cotillard have almost no Scottish accents, after all, they are not locals. Still shot beautifully. Slow motion shots with the Phantom are still so...

      In fact, this movie is very well shot. I like it and feel that the cast is ok~ Prepare for sleep no...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The original work did not mention the nationality of Mrs. Macbeth, and Marion Cotillard retained her spoken French when she played the role. The producer said that this adds to the role of a foreigner.
    Scotland has had many queens from France in history, so it is completely understandable that Mrs. Macbeth has spoken French.
    Marion Cotillard has always dreamed of acting as Mrs. Macbeth, but thought she could only play in the French...

    Evaluation action

    The director regards Shakespeare’s complex story as a pantomime with voiceovers, free to play in a Scottish cloud-covered environment. He often adapts dialogues to the inner activities of human beings instead of oral language. The speed of each dialogue is very high. Slow, coupled with a lot of profound pauses, makes people think that every sentence is important, and lacks focus and change. (Review of "Rogerebert")
