    In 1968, Polanski directed "The Devil's Child" was a great success and had a profound impact on the horror films of Hollywood in the future. The following year, Polanski's soon-to-be-born wife was brutally murdered by cultists at their Hollywood home. Two years later, Polanski brought Shakespeare's Macbeth to the screen. Thus, a more depressing, gloomy, lonely Macbeth was born. Many people think that he incorporates his inner pain into his interpretation of the character, which seems to reflect...

    Read the top, read the top... very faithful, almost word for word, bull b. The dream/witch/jumper stuff is very Polanski and doesn't go against it at all... poisonous. Casting felt that the age did not...

    Alas, Polanski killed Macbeth in the most brutal way possible by the hands of the characters in the play. This one is more of the Scottish medieval period, there are not so many fancy things, and all the special effects are almost all done by editing. The scheduling is complex and natural, the lines are beautiful and not redundant, and the stage appearance is completely invisible, which shows how successful the adaptation...

    Instigated by the instinct for power, high salaries and integrity are nothing more than castles in the air in the ideal country. Polanski is another British film after "Desert Island" and "The Lost Baby". Satan is always close to the beautiful woman. This version is not delicate, but it is ruthless and...

    Very loyal to the original work, the atmosphere and the lines are all restored feelings, the image of Macbeth is very layered, and the melancholy person is like smoking marijuana. The desire for power and violence is getting deeper and deeper. But what's not good can't be said. It is probably due to the excessive respect for the original work, which leads to a weak sense of hierarchy in the plot, and there is no sense of hierarchy in the distribution of...

    The Polanski version is really yellow and violent, and the two scenes of the beach battlefield and the second witch are really...

    Screen review, 4K restoration and screening, Polanski's version is almost the most desperate and terrifying of all Macbeth adaptations. The death scenes of every character in the film are extremely violent, and every body is placed The methods are all symbols of bloody and tragic death, as well as the scenes of caesarean section taking babies. These pictures cannot help but remind people of the tragedy in 1969. Perhaps Polanski at that time was lost in the surreal Mirror of Infinity just like...

    "Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player / That struts and frets his hour upon the stage/ And then is heard no more: it is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing." Very literal rendition bringing forth the insignificance of every...

Macbeth quotes

  • Macbeth: My name's Macbeth!

    Young Siward: The devil himself could not pronounce a title more hateful to mine ear.

  • Macbeth: I will not yield, To kiss the ground before young Malcolm's feet, And to be baited with the rabble's curse. Though Birnam wood be come to Dunsinane, And thou oppos'd, being of no woman born, Yet I will try the last. Lay on, Macduff; And damn'd be him that first cries, "Hold, enough!"
