At the beginning, I didn't quite understand why Macbeth was listed in Shakespeare's four tragedies. Macbeth went down the road of destruction because he wanted to be king and was unwilling to abdicate. Where is the tragedy?
Then, I started my own way of persuading myself: because Macbeth was not a bad person, he was pushed on the road of treason by the witch, fate chose him, but did not treat him kindly.
As a hero of the country, Macbeth was deeply trusted by Duncan and the people. On the way back, he and Banquo met three witches. The witches made predictions for their future: Macbeth would become a king and become a king. ; Banquo is more fortunate, for his descendants are kings.
Originally, both Macbeth and Banquo, regarded these words as nonsense, but as some things came true, they all began to believe the words of the three witches, and Lady Macbeth even became the fourth witch, facing the truth. The hesitant Macbeth said demagogic words, and finally sent Macbeth to the high platform of slaying the king.
When the ability and the mind do not match, it is bound to be a tragedy, and life will collapse with it.
Macbeth, trapped in his own demon of killing the wise Duncan, condemns himself day after day, and fears for the future King of Banquo. He was excited by the second prophecy of the witches: the forest will not move easily, and who in the world is not born in the womb of a mother? So he got a short-lived redemption, and he started to be conceited, until the fires in the sky burned the trees to ashes, until the appearance of the premature baby Macduff, his faith suddenly collapsed, and he really fell from that throne.
The picture of this movie is very well done. The montage technique combines the slow motion of the war with the hearts of the soldiers. The color control is also very precise, except for the deletion of the most shocking "I killed Duncan while he was sleeping" in the original work. If I killed him, I also killed sleep, and since then I have no sleep." In this case, the whole movie can be regarded as the highest restoration of the original within the scope of reasonable adaptation.
