Macbeth

Greed and cunning flickered in the shadow of the palace candles.

Loneliness flooded the blood-red battlefield.

"Macbeth"

Fassbender's performance is undoubtedly a great tension

He's tyrannical, tough, and vulnerable

The fog in the sky, rendering the infinite expansion of Macbeth's inner desire

But full of contradictions and struggles.

The film is gorgeous but gloomy

The soundtrack is majestic

Ancient Scotland battlefield chill

To conclude,

Victory fell on us. Greed and cunning flickered in the shadow of the palace candle.

    A faithful and deviant adaptation of Shakespeare's original work, stylized photography (slow motion + time-lapse) is adopted, and scene transitions focus on hidden beauty. Kurzel is a master in creating atmosphere, and the lens focuses more on Macbeth's psychological trauma. For a drama adaptation of this size, it really tests the actors' drama skills. Obviously, both Fa Sha and Ma Liang have overplayed.
