A cup of slow-tasting kung fu tea

"Kung Fu Panda" is dessert, "Steve Jobs" is like coffee, and "Macbeth" is like Kung Fu tea, which needs to be served slowly. It strikes the right balance between stage drama and film art. Photography technology brings the advantages of modern film into full play! The magnificent scene has been processed by a gray and blue filter, which not only highlights the theme of the whole work, but also does not seem to be overwhelming. The switching between slow motion and normal speed shots, the alternation of details and perspectives, and the war scenes that are difficult to show on stage sets are primitive and cruel in the film without being excessively bloody, and the artistic design is traceable without being publicized. The handling of shadows in character shooting can be regarded as a model of photography teaching. Whether it is Macbeth hesitating outside the dark tent, or he is tempted and suspicious when he invites banquo to a dinner party by the sea, the light and dark of the picture seems to reflect his complicated inner world, plus On the gorgeous Shakespeare's lines, it really complements each other silently and loudly! Perhaps it is precisely because of the strength of the original work, the director's style, the photography, the soundtrack, and the editing that the importance of the actors is downplayed. From this point of view, stage performances test the skills of actors, especially in Shakespeare's plays! Fa Shark and all the characters should say they did their best! There is no deliberate stage tone, but no matter the monologue or the dialogue, it has a lot of weight! It is hard to imagine who can do it if it is a dubbed version like Kung Fu Panda? Here is a tribute to Sun Daolin and the dubbing artists of that generation! It's a pity that I don't understand old English, I only have to read the subtitles [embarrassed], but fortunately there is a classic translation by master Zhu Shenghao! Thanks to the subtitles team's profound knowledge and loyal literary feelings, I can not only enjoy a visual feast in one movie, but also accept a baptism of literature and art!
