Macbeth Trailer
The great thing about Shakespeare is that it's supposed to be performed rather than read. So the text itself is basically just dialogue and a few bits of stage direction (including the ever awesome 'exit, pursued by a bear,' which shows up in ). Beyond that, you can do whatever you like when putting on a show: crazy costumes, anachronistic sets, actors best known for playing. As long as you stick to the text, anything goes. That helps Shakespeare stay relevant and demonstrates why his writings still speak to us in the 21st century.
Macbeth is directed by Justin Kurzel. It starts Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard as Lord and Lady Macbeth. Watch the trailer now! Feb 26, 2016 From the producers of THE KING’S SPEECH comes the feature film adaptation of Shakespeare's Scottish play about General Macbeth (Fassbender) whose ambitious wife (Cotillard) urges him to use wicked means in order to gain power of the throne over the sitting king.
What's the SameTake Rupert Goold's 2010 version of, for example. He sticks to the dialogue straight from Shakespeare, though he cuts a few lines here and there and moves some scenes around. Within that frame, he's free to play with all kinds of cool ideas, many of which weren't around when Shakespeare penned the play in the first place. What's DifferentGoold moves the setting from the hose-and-doublets era to a weird combination of Scotland and a -era Soviet Union. So Macbeth sports a Joseph Stalin mustache and an AK-47, while throwing up giant posters of himself when he's king. The play mostly takes place in underground bunkers with that distinct 'drop a nuke on us' charm, and the witches are a trio of nurses who wander around in the background.Speaking of the witches, they take their cues from modern-day horror movies with time elapsed photography to make their movements super-freaky, and a habit of yanking bloody entrails out of wounded folks on the hospital beds. They show up in scenes where Shakespeare doesn't list them, never talking, but watching Macbeth and everyone else with their spooky, spooky eyes.This tweak violates the text since Big Bill never put them there.
On the other hand, they don't have any dialogue in those scenes, and the fact that they always seem to be lurking in the shadows emphasizes their status as unseen puppet masters. In that sense, Goold made a staging choice that still fits in the framework of the play, and makes the witches a lot scarier as a result. What's up to DateBeyond that, the production makes some casting choices that speak to our 21st-century world in pretty definitive terms. Look, for example, at, who plays Malcolm.
The character has a line in the play, 'I am yet unknown to woman' (4.3.126-127), which suggests that he's a virgin. Most productions tend to cast a teenager or someone else who you can buy as having never done the nasty before. But Handy was over forty years old when he made the film. There aren't a whole lot of virgins running around at that age but you can be gay at forty and still be 'unknown to woman.'
Suddenly, we're talking about contemporary issues, and we're doing it without changing a single word of Shakespeare's dialogue.A subtler example occurs with Lady Macbeth's casting. She's played by, who was in her late thirties when she made the film. Patrick Stewart, on the other hand, was almost seventy—about twice as old as she was. Could she be a trophy wife for Macbeth, a piece of arm candy paraded around just because she looks pretty? Would that perhaps make her the butt of a lot of jokes, as people snicker behind their hands at her and wonder what happens when Macbeth wants to trade up for a younger model?If so, that might make her awfully cranky—cranky enough to help kill someone, become queen, and then deliver a righteous smackdown to everyone who ever laughed at her. And suddenly, with this subtle change, the play is delivering deep dishy bits of soapy drama straight off of the CW network.
(Only, you know, with blood and witches and whatnot.)Both these casting choices hinge not on the play itself, but on this particular production, and on the decisions that the producers made for it. They both say things about the story and make changes to the meaning to the drama without changing the drama itself. It's almost like making a whole new play, and yet it couldn't be anything but Macbeth.
That's the strength of Shakespeare; that's why we're still reading him after all this time. Other AdaptationsLong, long ago (read: 1948), the late, great Orson Welles got his hands on and churned out his own version. He didn't have a ton of dough to get it done, but he did have plenty of bona fide Scottish accents. He swapped the text around a bit (the witches' chant acts as a kind of prologue here), and he stressed the forces of paganism over Christian goodness in his version.Then Roman Polanski made a version of in 1971, after his wife and unborn child were murdered by Charles Manson and his cronies.
As you may have guessed, it's a wee bit dark. (Also, the witches are naked and not in a sexy way.) It's very cool, but definitely for grown-ups.A few years later, the BBC went for a classic take on the play with their 1979 version of.
If stodgy is what you're after, then check out a very young Ian McKellan and Judi Dench in this faithful interpretation.In addition to straight-up adaptations, plenty of people have taken the basic story and done very different things with it. Akira Kurosawa's turns the whole thing into a Japanese samurai story, while sets it in the scary world of organized crime. Perhaps the weirdest version is, which sets the story in 1970s America and makes Macbeth a scheming fast food employee trying to take over his boss' restaurant.
Oh, and plays Macduff. Yes, really.So which wacky setting fits the play best?
Shmoop amongst yourselves.

Macbeth emerges victorious, but there are heavy losses, including many boy soldiers. The battle is observed by three women with a small girl and an infant. They approach Macbeth and Banquo, hailing Macbeth as of and future King, and Banquo as a father of Kings, before disappearing in the mist.Act II Duncan hears about Macbeth's victory and is brought the who, deemed to be a traitor because he has allied himself with the invaders, is stripped of his title and executed. The King orders his servants to take the title of Thane of Cawdor to Macbeth, who reacts uncertainly. Macbeth sends a message ahead to his wife, Lady Macbeth, telling her about the witches' prophecies. Lady Macbeth then prays to the dark spirits in the village church, asking them for guidance. When Macbeth returns, and tells her that Duncan will stay one night as their guest, she urges Macbeth to kill the King to fulfill the prophecy made by the witches.
Duncan arrives at the village and a feast is being held, where the King pronounces Malcolm as his heir. Macbeth still hesitates and Lady Macbeth persuades him to commit the deed, while she slips a sleeping potion to the King's servants. After the feast ends, Macbeth sees the ghost of one of the dead boy soldiers who gives him a dagger and leads him towards Duncan's tent. Macbeth brutally slays Duncan. Malcolm enters the tent and, seeing what Macbeth has done, flees in fear. Shaken, Macbeth goes to his wife and gives her the dagger he has used to kill the King. Lady Macbeth rebukes him, saying that he should have left it in the tent and she goes herself to place the dagger in the hands of the sleeping chamberlains.
Later she meets Macbeth in the church where they both wash the blood from their hands and she tells him that the water has washed their deed away.Act III In the morning, Macduff finds Duncan dead, and Macbeth slaughters the sleeping servants to prevent their denial of the murder. Macduff and Lennox, a noble, discuss that as Malcolm has fled to that puts him under suspicion of being involved in the murder. They also admire Macbeth's justice on the supposedly-treacherous servants.
With Malcolm gone, Macbeth is asked to become King of. After the coronation he sits in a sour mood in his chamber where Lady Macbeth comes to him.
He complains that killing Duncan was for nothing as Macbeth has no heirs to inherit the crown which will pass to Banquo and his son, Fleance, according to the prophecy. He invites Banquo with his son to a banquet and finds out that they both plan to leave. As Banquo is becoming suspicious, Macbeth sends three assassins to murder him. Banquo is killed, but Fleance escapes to the woods.During the evening, Macbeth makes a comment about Banquo not keeping his promise to be at the feast. When the assassins arrive, Macbeth asks if they have succeeded and is enraged when he finds out that Fleance has escaped. Then Macbeth sees Banquo's ghost in his armour standing among other guests next to the table. Macbeth is afraid and starts to talk to the ghost which is unseen by anyone else present.
Lady Macbeth tries to calm everyone by claiming that her husband is unwell, but Macbeth continues to rave, which prompts Macduff and his wife to leave the feast despite the King ordering them to stay. Lady Macbeth dismisses all the guests and takes Macbeth back to their chamber.Act IV Macbeth travels by night to talk to the three witches. Once he finds them, they show him a vision of slain soldiers who tell him to beware of Macduff, and that Macbeth shall be King until comes to, where the royal castle is built. Finally, the ghost of the slain boy soldier who gave him the dagger tells Macbeth that he won't be slain by any man born of a woman. The King is found wandering the hills by Lennox who tells him that Macduff has fled to England. Anxious at this, in a fit of rage, Macbeth orders Macduff's family and servants to be killed. Lady Macduff and her children are captured and, while a distraught Lady Macbeth watches the execution.
After the burning she takes out the dagger that was used to kill Duncan and repeatedly washes it.Meanwhile, Macduff meets up with Malcolm, who is gathering troops in England. Ross and Angus inform Macduff about the murder of his family and servants. Stricken with grief and anger, Macduff swears revenge and he and Malcolm join forces to challenge Macbeth.Act V Haunted by guilt, Lady Macbeth returns to the church in her village, which is now abandoned, and laments the terrible deeds that have been done, and how her hands are covered in blood. She then sees the ghost of her dead child, which she urges to go to bed. Then she wanders in the hills and sees the three witches as she walks towards them.In the castle, rumours spread that Macbeth has gone mad and his subjects fear his anger and behaviour.
Macbeth is told that his wife is dead. Saying ', he then lifts her body and carries it around the chamber in despair. Seyton then brings him news that Malcolm is leading an army against him and Macbeth orders his armour to be brought to him.Macduff sets Birnam Wood on fire, with the smoke and ashes blowing towards the castle, seemingly making the witches' prophecy come true. Macbeth leaves the castle to face the attacking army and engages in a duel with Macduff. Macbeth is confident that he will win as 'no man born of woman' can kill him. Macduff then tells him that he was from his mother's womb and, using Macbeth's distraction, he stabs him. Macbeth starts to regret the mistakes he has made through his tyranny, despite knowing all too well that it's too late to redeem himself.

The, the film has an approval rating of 80% based on 192 reviews, with an average rating of 7.24/10. The site's critical consensus reads, 'Faithful to the source material without sacrificing its own cinematic flair, Justin Kurzel's Macbeth rises on the strength of a mesmerizing Michael Fassbender performance to join the upper echelon of big-screen Shakespeare adaptations.'
Gives the film a weighted average score of 71 out of 100, based on 35 critics, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'.Writing for The New York Times on 3 December 2015, Manohla Dargis complimented Fassbender's depiction of the lead role, stating:once wrote that 'nobody has ever succeeded as Macbeth' because the character shrinks from a complex figure into a cowering thug. The exception, Tynan continued, immediately contradicting his claim, was, who in a 'shook hands with greatness.'
With his Macbeth, Mr. Fassbender, who routinely shakes hands with greatness in films that don't remotely do the same, produces a man whose anguish eventually becomes a powerful counterpoint to his deeds, partly because he's already dead by the time he utters his first word. Fassbender gives you a reason to see this Macbeth, although the writing isn't bad, either.Cotillard's performance also earned high praise from critics, particularly for her rendition of the famous 'Out, Damned Spot' monologue. Guy Lodge from stated that 'Cotillard electrically conveys misdirected sexual magnetism, but also a poignantly defeated sense of decency', and noted that it was a performance that 'contains both the woman's abandoned self and her worst-case incarnation, often in the space of a single scene,' and remarked that 'Her deathless sleepwalking scene, staged in minimalist fashion under a gauze of snowflakes in a bare chapel, is played with tender, desolate exhaustion; it deserves to be viewed as near-definitive.' Luke Buckmaster of rated the film four out of five stars, calling it 'bold' and 'fearless' and praising the production values as well as Fassbender and Cotillard's performances, but criticised the actors' poor enunciation or peculiar accents, which distracted from the film's other qualities.
