Cant believe that I finally finished this movie. Tried it earlier with a WEBRip copy. Got lost as the accent is so thick (supposed to be Scottish) and they spoke in Classical English. I suppose the dialogue is straight from Shakespeare's play and they were supposed to be acting on stage and the audience are all those who liked or are taking Macbeth as their exam paper. But its not, as I am just a movie fan who wanted to enjoy watching a film and learn about Macbeth's character the easy way. But i dont have the privilege to do that it seem. Thanks for the blue ray's subtitles, yet it still got me lost most of the time.
Thanks to the short sypnosis from "Uncle Eddie" on Macbeth in "Criminal Activities". He explained it short and simple why Macbeth was bold and fearless cause he cannot die if to be killed by a man from a woman's womb. Yup stumbled upon the lines that mentioned about Woman's womb. But if without that useful spoiler I could have taken Macbeth as bold, stupid and fearless King who finally got killed by McDuff played by Solomon Kane of MI6.
The acting by Fassbender, Coulthard and Harris were all good. But who want to care less when you have some much problem in watching a movie.
It is unnecessary to do this movie to the way it did. You dont have to use Shakespears' English if it is not for exam students. You see, there are plenty of movies which use simple and maybe American English and it attract a lot of people to see and appreciate the movie. A close example was Braveheart. Many of Ridley Scotts film are also in this category example Robin Hood and Kingdom of Heaven. Alas, some films are even talked in English where else you know they should be speaking in other language. But its ok for audience.
The scenes of the Scotland's mountain is breath taking thou. Not much action thou I was hoping it to be more to comprimise the other things.
See this if you are taking "Macbeth" as your exam paper.
