Linkshoch Wonderful Movie
JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
travis_landry23 What is there to say about Justin Kurzel's MACBETH? I have adored this film for years ever since I first saw it in the cinema.The performances, the visual use of red throughout the story, the music. There isn't a film more beautiful than this one.Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard are true forces to be reckoned with. Easily the best performance I've seen from both actors.This film has inspired me to go and watch every single adaptation and incarnation of MACBETH I can get my hands on. As well as read the text, which makes you appreciate the films more. This film has inspired me to have a desire to make my own version of Macbeth. There are so many ways to tell this story, as evidence by all of the different artistic mediums that have been used over the years to do just that.This is a beautiful story, a beautiful film, and one I truly hope will go down with the classics.If anybody that ever worked on this film ever reads this. Please give yourself a pat on the back, well done.10/10 - Masterpiece
Romeo Lineng It seems everybody forgot today what the real tragedy is. In conditions of eternal fear to consult anyone's feelings, the genre of clear tragedy vanishes completely. If only George Martin allows to himself to kill consistently several characters in his books, we can hear yellings like 'he is a slasher!' or 'he kills everybody!'. It's strange for me, as we do not mind of blood rivers and streams in Tarantino's movies. Maybe because it is funny', I guess.Let's refer to an encyclopedia: 'Tragedy - branch of drama that treats in a serious and dignified style the sorrowful or terrible events of private or a public character encountered or caused by a heroic individual and usually leads to the hero's death'. Some Shakespeare's plays are tragedies and they were and will be it, as you might want it or not. If the place and time of the action moved, the meaning will be not changed. As it is important to understand the Chekhov is the great playwright of dramas, the same time it is important to realize why Shakespeare is the great tragedian.If you are not afraid to wade through the wilds of Scottish English with its archaic words, if there is no fear in your brave heart of the Shakespeare's iamb, if you love Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard in particular and British actors in general, so you have to watch this film.
blumdeluxe "Macbeth" is a modern adaption of the classic play by William Shakespeare. It takes over the well known story and enriches it with modern ways of production and technical possibilities.It is remarkable, what beautiful pictures this adaption delivers. It creates a very fitting mood that make the play believable and give it a rather dark and sinister tone. It sticks to the classical language, which, at times, can make it quite hard to follow the plot because it creates a rather bumpy flow but still it is surprising how well the theme of Macbeth still works centuries after its imagination. Additionally, the production manages to stay credible and avoid to make the film look like any cheap play you might have seen before.All in all I liked this movie pretty much even though at some times I would have wished for a more easy access concerning the big material it deals with. Still, the pictures alone are worth giving this one a try. If you can watch it on a big screen, I could imagine that it works out even better.
ElliesWonder "Star hide my fire, Let no light to see my back and deep desires." My favor quote from Macbeth.I would say I am very disappoint to this movie, prefer the old version better. Turn it off after 20 minutes. Too many slow motion, whisper and mumbling, made it so difficult to normal people to understand. Macbeth's original form is a stage show, but movie is a reversion, an art transform. The lines are still writing so outdated? So why don't I just read a book instead to watch a movie? By the way, nice photographing MTV movie. But I am not a fan to slow motion.
