"Macbeth" is about an aristocratic hero, Macbeth, who returned from fighting a rebellion. He met witches on the road. They gave him and Banquo some prophecies. , Macbeth would become king of Scotland, and since he had no heirs, Banquo's descendants would become kings. Then the witches disappeared into the wind. Later, the witches were fulfilled one by one, Macbeth fell into the madness of power, and lived with the fanaticism of power and the fear of usurping the throne after Banquo, and finally betrayed and separated, he went to look for the witch, the witch told him, one, be careful Beware of Macduff 2. No one who is given life by a woman can hurt Macbeth. 3. He will only fall when moving towards him in the woods of Bonan defeat. Later, Lady Macbeth died of a mental disorder, and Macbeth also died in the duel with Macduff.

The beginning of the film is the funeral of Macbeth's daughter, which sets the tone of the whole film heavy and gloomy, and also makes Macbeth's tragedy seem solemn and pathetic. The thick fog that appears again and again in the film adds to the mystery, and also indicates the impermanence of fate, as well as the confusion and struggle in Macbeth. He started out as a man who regarded reputation as his life. Afterwards, he was only amazed by the accuracy of the witch's prophecy. He didn't have much ambition for the throne. It is not so much that he was an ambitious careerist. It is better to give this title to Lady Macbeth, who prayed to the devil before Macbeth returned home. : Relieve my feminine weakness, and pour it over my body with the most ferocious cruelty; let my blood clot, let no remorse pass through my heart (Let go of the tenderness of my woman, and pour it over my whole body with the most ferocious cruelty from the heel to the heel; clot my blood, and let not regret pass through my heart), when she urged her husband to kill Duncan, she said, " I worry about your nature: it is full of too much The stench of too many human feelings makes you dare not take the shortest shortcut; you want to be a great person, you are not without ambition, but you lack the wickedness associated with that ambition. ” It can be seen that Lady Macbeth is the real Big Boss, after ascending to the throne, Macbeth was in a state of anxiety all day long, because the witch's prophecies were confirmed one by one, and Banquo's descendants would surely take the throne he got by sacrificing his reputation without any effort. He felt that this was a disservice to him. Fair enough, so he's going to kill Banquo and his son.

He is cruel, cruel, and mad. He lives in fear of losing his power all day long. Maybe the movie is different from the original, so in the movie, I feel that Macbeth is more like a child who wants to keep his toys. He believed in the witch's prophecy, but his pride made him contempt. His tragedy may be, as Lady Macbeth said, " I am worried about your nature: it is full of too much human stench, that you dare not take the nearest shortcut; you wish to be a great man, and you are not without Ambition, but you lack the wickedness associated with that ambition "

There are not many scenes in the whole film. It looks like a picture editing in my opinion. The characters' lengthy dialogue turns into the silent whispers of the actors, and the large deletions make the characters very thin, which can only be passed through the lines and the original book reviews. Or to get a deeper understanding of the characters, the highlight of this film may be the beautiful scenery of Scotland and the original Shakespeare. I think the 7.2 rating is forgiving.
