Look upon the ruins of the castle of delusion
Haunted only now by the spirits of those who perished
A scene of carriage, Born of consuming desire
Never changing
Now and throughout eternity
Here Stood Spider's Web Castle
This appears twice.
Akira Kurosawa used the film to prove that "Macbeth" has nothing to do with it.
In the face of desire, everyone should be at risk.
The first factor in the externalization of desire is strong guidance.
"Lady Macbeth" knows "Macbeth" very well.
They are smart, decisive, and extremely strategic.
"In this degenerate age, one must kill so as not to be killed."
In a word, the background of personal desire is linked to the era of irreversibility, and killing and confrontation are cited as the only solutions.
Knowing the deepest ambitions of "Macbeth", the ladies knew how to pave the way for those desires at the most opportune moment.
The wife encouraged "Macbeth" to say "ambition makes a man" before committing the first murder, handing over the murder weapon directly to her husband, and interpreting the cause and effect as the rationalization of desire.
The second factor, effective prophecy.
If the direction of the prophecy is in line with personal expectations, it is equivalent to getting the trump card of your life.
As in the film, the son says to his father who is willing to bet on the prophecy, "The spirit has tricked you into fulfilling it prophecies and now you believe the prophecies have come true. Is it wise?"
So even though he kept shouting "evil spirit", every time Macbeth felt uncertain, he was still eager to see "evil".
The third and most fundamental, personal desire without boundaries.
Many people often analyze these sinister roles played by women, or prophets. But external incentives are not enough without the other party's equal or even greater ambitions.
Ambition makes a man
TRUE
But only tells half of the story
Desire makes man, ambition destroys man.
Desire and ambition are essentially the same.
Just in this degree, scope, time.
People, people, in the face of desire, you should always be in danger.
