For a widely circulated story, the film "Macbeth" adopts stream-of-consciousness shooting method, dilutes the plot, removes the madness of Shakespeare's original play, and focuses on the low-pitched recitation of ancient English, magnificent visual effects and uninterrupted The background music is undoubtedly more in line with modern aesthetics.
The story begins before the battle between the two armies. The joy of the movie is that it seems to have deliberately created the details of Macbeth's son's sacrifice in the war, giving the audience room for speculation, which adds a touch of tragedy to Macbeth's subsequent succession to the throne without heirs.
The battle of the war is depicted in slow motion to almost static silence, and the three witches (the movie is intended to say that the three witches are adapted into four witches, it seems that Hecate is included in it, puzzled) appeared in Macbeth's field of vision for the first time. . The bloody battlefield was shrouded in the gloomy air of the three. In the endless killing, Macbeth gave an inner monologue to the three witches.
Sin may arise from this righteous and brutal killing, and only those with a strong enough heart can not be swayed by blood-stained hands.
Then the three witches announced their prophecy to Macbeth and Banquo.
"Are they real?" They appeared so bizarre, and their predictions were so clear and accurate that it made people's heart beat faster and burn in flames. A hero galloping on the battlefield, a veteran who has lost his flesh and blood (for the time being, we will deal with the details in the movie), in the face of ubiquitous death, his desire and ambition have expanded rapidly. What he wanted was that golden crown, and a status that matched his strength.
So he chose to believe the witches' prophecies, or, unlike Banquo, he listened to his inner desires.
Perhaps Macbeth's greed and ambition still have a hint of heroic pride, but Lady Macbeth's greed is more full of evil spells.
When Macbeth hesitated, it was she who encouraged him in his ear; when he decided to give up this despicable act, it was she who gave him the courage to incarnate as a demon; when his last conscience and morality were desperately fighting, it was she who paid With a sharp dagger, he ruthlessly killed this last compassion. Later, Macbeth also picked up the dagger and stabbed old Duncan.
In the movie, Mrs. Macbeth encourages Macbeth to stab the king. It is shocking. In the blood red color, lust and ambition blend together, and the most primitive evil of human beings is displayed at a glance. Lady Macbeth's hideous face makes this beautiful face so terrifying.
When Duncan's blood stained Macbeth's hands, his soul became cursed. Every day after that, he lived in terror, his courage could not match his ambition, but his conscience became a stumbling block on his road to the king.
He listened to the prophecies of the witches and carried out slaughter frantically. Those who were regarded as vying for his position were all assassinated. Macbeth became a tyrant, people began to miss the benevolent Duncan, and orthodoxy began to appear among the ministers. Malcolm, the son of Duncan, who floated up and fled to England, saw that Macbeth was out of the way, changed his military commander, attacked Scotland in the south, and regained his own country.
In the final climactic duel, Macbeth was still invincible. In the flames of fire, he was like an immortal god of war wielding a devil's steel gun and stabbed the enemy's chest. The blood spurted out, dyeing the Scottish sky and the vast sandy soil.
Once again, he saw three witches.
When the forest moved south, the fact that Macduff was not born to a woman was known, and the brave Macbeth suddenly lost all strength. He took the fallen Macduff's dagger and stabbed it into his chest.
The posture of his death was so majestic that thousands of troops swept away, and he maintained the same dead posture and stood tall. The irony of the whole situation is that the descendants of Banquo predicted by the witches did not inherit the throne, but Malcolm, the son of Duncan, took his place.
Those prophecies were originally a gust of wind floating in the soul, like a curse of a lifetime, and success or failure was in one's own thoughts.
