Should I bother?
MacBeth 2015
I never watched it but it is shit
It's kino
I tried watching it yesterday, and stopped it after 40 minutes, the opening scene has a battle, and that's the only thing noteworthy. The dialogue is this incomprehensible shakespearian drivel and from fast forwarding the rest of the movie I can tell you nothing fucking happens
I never watched it but it is kino
Great film. Really loved the atmosphere and performances. Just don't get hung up when you can't understand everything they're saying and you'll be fine.
Polanski's is much better
tempted to watch but Macbeth is adapted too often
why not something more rare like Pericles, Timon, Cymbelene or Measure for Measure. I swear, so many good plays that no one ever films.
Best Macbeth
I didn't, but if you want to take one for the team go for it.
>Macbeth: Music video edition
Any performance of Shakespeare that tries to use realistic methods of speaking is irredeemably fucked. It's needs to be spoken as though on a stage because it's designed to be spoken on a stage. Mumbling your way through misses the point and pathos of the dialogue.
Get a load of this pleb
Back to your capeshit thread
Do it for based debicki OP
I thought it was pretty good, but I like Shakespeare stuff and am always excited for adaptations. They interpreted the final "forest" scene really well, one of the best versions I've seen of the finale.
Not perfect, but I found it really enjoyable.
Watch Throne of Blood instead
this movie has great simple posters
they really make me want to watch it desu
yawn...
Visually it's pretty great. Acting is good too.
Watch it.
back to lit with your pretentious ass
Of course not, it's by some advertising shit who needs its cunt torn away, starring that fucking meme muppet with the mouth like a South Park Canadian, and some whore. Avoidah.
What are the best film Shakespeare adapations?
Pic related.
There are films of the same play by Welles, Kurosawa and Polanski, why the fuck would you bother with this shit? Do you remember Hamlet starring Mel Gibson? Neither do I.
>Shakespeare is pretentious
How fucking retarded can one board possibly be?
Throne of Blood
Watch a better adaptation or a stage production if you're actually interested in shakespeare. If you want pretty cinematography and Michael Fassbender being badass and creepy, go for it.
Honestly I can forgive people for not being able to see it on stage, it's not exactly on everywhere all the time. Certainly watch a better adaptation though.
Yeah but there's probably countless recordings of stage productions online.
I prefer windowsbeth haha
tv everyone
I don't care what anyone says.
I love theatre, but I don't like to recommend recordings of stage productions. They're sometimes quite lacking.
This film gets basically everything right, incredible cinematography, great acting, soundtrack is perfect. But the problem is there isn't much potential in the story of Macbeth, told again and again. It's not really possible to get Macbeth wrong, but it's not possible to do anything amazing with it either. I recommend it if only for how epic the ending sequence is.
hahaha
Exactly how hard does this try to be kino? The trailer made it look like something a college student would come up with after a ketamine binge where he left the entire discography of Swans to play all night.
hahaha
>It's not acting if they're not hamming or shouting their way through every line
Brannagh's Hamlet
us Sup Forumsers, amirite? xD
It's not supposed to be realistic dialogue.
>good Macbeth watch the Polanski one.
that looks like shit. fight looks like a comedy. fuck, it looks like Army of Darkness.
FassBeth on the otherside has beautiful cinematography, charismathic actors, pure drama
>sawing at the air too much with your hands
>laughing_hamlet.woodcut
Very strange take on Macbeth imo. Other than 2-3 lines, literally every line is whispered.
watch it, it is great and beautiful and sad
Who were those 3 woman at start of movie and throughout.?
Hope the sequel explores their backstory or what happened to them.
Polanski's is the best, the 2010 movie with Patrick Stewart is good too.
...
>literally every line is whispered.
wtf is your problem? it felt more real because of that
> it felt more real
Yeah cause in reality people never talk with normal voices, they just whisper. That makes total sense.
Branagh's Henry V

I was going to mention the Patrick Stewart one, really enjoyed it
Can't remember if it's the filming of a stage production or TV movie though
why is Brian Blessed so awesome
he's such a cool dude
Any impressions on The Hollow Crown series?
Been thinking of watching it because of the stellar cast
It's been praised a lot, personally I think they're garbage. Tom Hiddleston is absolutely terrible as Hal. Simon Russell Beale is OK as Falstaff, nothing more. Jeremy Irons basically plays Jeremy Irons.
kill yourself
It is really good.
>mfw Birnam Wood
Excuse him Sir.
Would a cape-shit be more of your taste ?
Certainly not how the original Macbeth script, not even during the written era. Stage is a different beast, this is film.
LUNACY
I preferred the other trailer. I like that song, and it fit the trailer, but upon watching the film it didn't fit it at all.
Jed Kurzel's score is amazing. I am unironically hyped for Assassin's Creed, seeing as he among Justin, Fassbender and Cotillard are returning.
Is that christian bale?
Yes
Should i watch this
Or place beyond the pines tonight?
Have both on blu ray sitting around
Both are good. One tonight, one tomorrow.

Best Blessed story.
