Atmosphere is very important in Shakespeare's drama

Without dozing off, watching a movie "Macbeth" may take the same time as reading a book of "Macbeth", but I doze off several times at a time because of Shakespeare's drama. The monologue and the description in my heart add a piece of it, it is just a complete conversation, which is very annoying for me. After it was made into a movie, I personally liked it very much. It restored the classical charm of Shakespeare's plays in the form of a stage play. It was in place, and the ancient prose used in the lines did not have a sense of contradiction, just like the classical Chinese in "Nie Yinniang". However, I personally strongly oppose "Nie Yinniang" and other consciously made "ugly" movies. "Nie Yingniang" is equally classic and dying of the Tang dynasty. However, when I have that time, I would rather watch "Tang dynasty" several times. Unrestrained Girl.



I watched a drama (stage play) seriously. The fifth grade school organized to watch "Nine Colored Deer". At that time, I watched it drunkly and got too deep into the play. I came back for a while. I wrote 2500 words (at that time 800 words were only required for elementary school composition). The head teacher voted for it, and there was no more news. After entering junior high school, the physical education teacher ran to me one day and said that you are who you are, I I have read your composition in the newspaper. At that time, I pretended to be forced, and gave it a tacit approval after a few sentences carefully (I wrote mediocre essays in junior high school, and it was difficult to choose me when reading sample essays in the class, but I was also a representative of the language class. I often can’t hold my face, and the composition of the Chinese class representative of the second class next door is often taken to our class to read, life is simply not easy) Actually I don’t know what the physical education teacher is talking about, haha. Later, after thinking about it, it may be the feeling after reading that article. I wrote an article in the newspaper once, but I can still hear about it in another place after a year or two. It's pretty wicked.
I also watched "The Rhino in Love". I was a fan of Duan Yihong at the university, and patiently watched it on the computer. It's interesting, but it doesn't mean much. Written dialogues, inner monologues, symbols, symbols, and a sense of ritual. These elements of stage play are also all over the film "Macbeth". The mixture of film and stage skills makes "Macbeth" look very different.
Said to be the English version of "Nie Yinniang", I can feel it from the texture and appeal of the film, but it is closer to movies such as "Evil Evil" and "Hibernation", thousands of miles of yellow sand, endless winter snow, dominate the main screen. The lonely and depressed protagonist is often trapped in the corner of vision by the photographer and groaning. The story takes the second place, focusing on the creation and rendering of the atmosphere, which is very contagious. The story of "Macbeth" was new in Shakespeare's time. It was imitated and copied from the 6th century to the 21st century by latecomers. It is estimated that not many people are interested in it now. So adapting Shakespeare's drama is actually not a good job. It's like a human face, which is shaped after being born by parents. If you change your style, it still has the same virtue. If you want to shoot beautifully, you can only show beautiful pictures. "Macbeth" is like a bare-faced photo that I can do my best.




Contrasting rendering is a powerful tool for "Macbeth" to play beautiful P. The atmosphere of the movie is the two of them.
After Macbeth usurped the throne, most of the time the composition of the film was closed. The walls and the crowd framed Macbeth in the center, and there was no way out. The only light-transmitting window was also filled with the fog outside the window. After switching to the location, Macbeth’s castle was also besieged by the sea and Dunsinun. The low matouqin and the grieving violin sounded staggered. Macbeth was placed alone in the wilderness and mountains, filled with thick fog, like that of "Hibernation." The snow scene that Sinochem couldn't get rid of, shrouded Macbeth. The film switches back and forth between the depression of the interior scene and the empty isolation of the exterior scene, tirelessly simulating the predicament of Macbeth, full of charm.


The rendering contrast of the movie is mostly related to color. Gray is the main color of the film. Thick fog, turbid sky, black clothes, and dark interior are not only affected by Macbeth, but many people who appear on the scene are all gray-headed and moldy. The homogeneity of colors plays a role of guiding and strengthening, and most of them are used in exterior scenes, and the main focus is on cool colors. But indoors, the contrast of colors is more emphasized. The Macbeth in the room is in the dark, but most of the time is surrounded by the warm dark yellow color of the candles. Cold and warm are intertwined and contradictory to coexist, forming a sleepy, confused and awake state of sleeplessness. The state of Macbeth, as Macbeth said after the death of kings: Since then, I have killed sleep. This color contrast was also concentrated in the ending duel. The prophesied fire burned Deng Xinan Forest, and also burned the coldness that enveloped the entire process. It symbolized the destruction of Macbeth and also symbolized Macbeth who was betrayed by kindness. Cowardly destruction.




I think there is still a more explicit contrast-expression (if it is far-fetched, just treat it as if I didn't say anything). Macbeth and her wife’s expressions are very rich, switching back and forth between joy, anger, sorrow, pain, and sickness. Many of the characters who are in the same scene with them all have facial paralysis, like fir trees, this static and dynamic The comparison is probably to make these two people look more happy, angry, sad, sick, and sick, so think about it.



In

terms of acting, I still prefer Fasha, and Cotillard also plays well with him. Fa Sha is really a rare actor in Hollywood, and his performance can add a lot of points to almost every film he participated in.
