Heroes are terrifying, people are even more terrifying

An epic that is not grand enough, it focuses on the gradual change of the protagonist's psychology. Haven't read the original Shakespeare, but I think the film adaptation does a good job of telling the story and showing the ups and downs of a heroic character.

The country was mutinous, and the king was short of capable people. In an emergency, Macbeth County Governor stepped forward and gained fame and fortune. But when he became famous, he listened to the slander of the swamp witch, and since then he has buried a knot in his heart, and he has a rift with his comrades-in-arms. Macbeth, who successfully ascended the throne, found that the reality had come true like a witch's prophecy, and he was even more worried about the next prediction that the heir of his comrade-in-arms would inherit the throne. At the same time, the younger brother of the former king who escaped brought foreign troops to seek revenge, and he eliminated dissidents at home, and he was worried about internal and external troubles. In the end, only as the prophecy said, he would go to destruction. Does the Swamp Witch really exist? Maybe it's just a matter of heart.

The picture in the front part of the movie is clear and the autumn is refreshing, which is the time when the hero grows up. The middle and rear parts of the picture gradually consist of night and dim interior, and the hero gradually loses himself. The final picture is mostly a hero alone, his followers are declining, the battlefield is smoky, the hero is completely trapped inside, there is no previous big scene of killing, but instead a duel between heroes, it is not like resisting foreign troops, more It's like fighting with your own heart.

The Scottish land at dawn watched silently.

    Compared with Polanski's version, it is simply too unreliable, and the adaptation discards a lot of bridges. Although the atmosphere is rendered with more majestic scenes, it still cannot make up for the break in the plot. Modern handling of performance and control fails. PS. The handling of the three witches is really bad, okay, you might as well just pinch it. 3.8

    Justin Kurzel's efforts to deliterature were successful, and formed a kind of echo with the other four self-contained well-known "Macbeth" adaptors. Michael Fassbender Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard Marion Cotillard, the best actor and actress of this era have their mark in them.
