It's not about having good taste to tell a good story

Wandering between three and two stars. The director is really attentive, sincere, and strives for innovation. The picture is beautiful, and the soundtrack of Scottish bagpipes is tragic and off-topic. But the director's narrative ability can't stand up to the Shakespeare tragedy, many necessary details of the original work have been changed, the time of Duncan's son's escape is very strange, the confrontation at the end is very protracted, and even the plot of the wife's hallucinations and constantly washing her hands has been reduced. , the whole story becomes not full enough. The same is true of the characters. Macbeth and his wife are very full of roles, and Fa Sha and Ma Liang can definitely play them, but the director seems to pursue a certain beauty that restricts the actors' movements and expressions, which will always be a pain in the ass. The big sad face makes the story twist and stiff, as does the reading of the lines. You don't need to be as loud in a movie as you would in a theater, but does whispering all the time really bring out the emotion? ? ? And those three witches, too passers-by, don't know if it's a casting issue or a costume issue. If you think that Shark uses "Jobs" to rush to Austria, you will know.
