- Everyone's talking about this extraordinary representation of the three witches by Kathryn Hunter.
The previous clip I posted seemed to be very well-received so I dare to post this one as well.
So here is the clip from much later in the play Act 4 where Macbeth seeks out the witches to know what horrors lie ahead.
"A drum, a drum, Macbeth doth come'
perhaps the best delivery of the "by the pricking of my thumbs.." line I've seen.
Kathryn Hunter's voice just fucking rules
I agree
As a fan of Shakespeare, I always find it exciting to see new refreshing takes on Shakespeare's works and this version takes the cake. The camera-work, the acting is just amazing. Can we talk about how the witches just drop by to give Macbeth the prophecy in his own home? Genius!
This comment. I was gobsmacked. I love that you always have them above him like an intangible god, or a haunting demon.
Really? I mean aside from a couple of moments it was perhaps the weakest production I’ve seen
It’s so close to how I imagined it
How did this movie come out without my knowing about it? It's beautiful!
Ikr!!!
It’s an Apple TV exclusive I think; or it was
When is there a DVD coming out, I will be pissed off if there isn't one.
@I am me • 25y ago I have the Lamb. But it does piss me off that I can't get Macbeth.
0:11 The fact he wakes up to the branch of the tree hitting the window 3 times then 3 wicked witches arrive in his room and the tapping on the window stops to focus on the conversation is great story telling and focus.
You are impressed on a daily basis by many things.
Whereas you are stating the obvious in a similar timeframe?
The devils time at night to fest

This is the first time I understood the double meaning/contradiction in
“Seek to know no more.”
Vs
“Seek to know. Know more.”
I’ve never watched a rendition ofMacbeth and this was one of the most Interesting scenes I’ve ever seen. Held my interest the entire time.
What incredible acting!!!
This is enthralling, and haunting. Same sort of feeling I got from The Light House. Just captivating.
You see they're both in monochrome
This literally exactly how i imagined this scene in the book with the face appearing in the water
THIS IS ACTING !! THIS IS MASTERY !! THIS IS ART !! - but where are the awards ?
This is amateur hour at the local pub. Denzel doesn’t have the character at all.
Forget awards, where's the physical release?
this is good but not mastery.
She is an amazing actress
phenomenal! I directed this once, I'm humbled.
I gotta say, this is impressive - but by far my favorite macbeth adaptation is the one by roman polanski. gets me every single time, absolutely brutal.
can't wait for the Blu Ray. or better, the 4K. shakespeare is always better with captions.
If you're sick of nonsensical movies in today's world, read old literature they're more fun and exciting than today. I read a literary work by a Russian writer titled "Lazarus" it blew my mind at how dark it was yet compelling at the same time.
No wonder they deleted this scene from Raising Arizona.
I have seen other vesions and by a mile this is the absolute best.
Am I correct in saying this spell the witches conjure is a "real" spell, hence why the play is supposedly cursed, as witches at the time were unhappy with such knowledge being shared, and thus put a curse on the play?
You are correct, or at least that’s what legends holds.
Kathryn Hunter has reinvented witches. I would love to have seen the interactions among her, Coen, and Washington. To see something new come to life.
I think Joel Coen's two best directorial movies are "The Tragedy of Macbeth" (2021) and "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" (2000). His greatest Screenplay was for "Unbroken" (2014) in my opinion. His other films I would be interested in watching sometime are "Burn After Reading" (2008) and "A Serious Man" (2009).
A Serious Man is brilliant. As a goyim, I probably missed some things, but overall, I got it. Judging from youtube comments, many didn't.
The bump on the window sill gives me "Evil Dead" vibes
I haven’t seen Kathryn Hunter in anything since rome, but every scene of her in this makes it abundantly clear how much of a mistake that is. I mean they’re all amazing, but she is just a complete mind blow. Something else.
I will be watching this movie many many times again. Carter Burwell's score and Bruno's cinematography are like additional characters
Holy crap !!
You are looking at German expressionism.
and it's beautiful!
Bergmanesque?
@@michaelepp6212 the witches, particularly in the opening scene, look straight out of Seventh Seal. Bergman was clearly a big influence here and I love it!
Like his internet lol
Wow
Lol fun fact I learned recently. That's not real water.
2:37 - ASMR Macbeth?
advice from unreliable sources
They were extremely reliable sources. Their advice was merely couched in such a fashion as to let Macbeth deceive himself.
@@pricklypear7516 or deliver himself
@@pricklypear7516 That's how demons work. It's what makes them unreliable.
Yhe gave him the rope, MacBeth hung himself @pricklypear7516
Dare on!
This is probably a good movie but I can't get over the fact that this director is pretty much doing the same thing with the play that Orson Welles already did,...look it up
I can’t understand most of the dialogue
The witches told Macbeth earlier that he shall be king (by now he is) but that Banquo (other knight) will produce his successor. Now the three witches come again and Macbeth has some more questions about it all. The three witches summon their master by tossing bits in the water all things of living things that don't go to heaven (animals, plants and non Catholics(middle ages Britain is where the play is set)) the master appears and he just asked if his reign will be long and if he has to fear Banquo. Tbh I'm not a Shakespearian.
Why doesn't Macbeth's tower have a roof?
the nightmare of robert macall
Fellini vibes
You mean Bergman?
A pox?, how delightful a pox¿
Was this in the actual movie? This scene wasn’t in the movie when I watched it
It is. You probably missed it.
I've watched it like 5 times
Did I hear "Double, double, toilet trouble"?? Am I the only one who is hearing this? LOL
That is very funny! And yes - I will now hear this forever!
@@LiteratureTodayUKThis is what happens when you don't enunciate. You get toilet troubles. LOL
@@dttra566 Sounds like a great idea for a plumbing ad😄
only good thing about this movie was Kathryn Hunter. not Denzel doing his most basic voice no accent no energy. its so bland
A pedestrian performance
2:07 Wuhan wet market vendors be like:
Yes. As everyone knows, the 11th Century Scottish King, which MacBeth is based on, was black.🙄
If Othello were remade with a white actor, would thou protest so much?
@@pmgrantz Funny you should say that. I was thinking when I saw this trailer, 'why didn't they make a movie of Othello, starring Denzel Washington?'
So the answer is yes, I think that it would be stupid to cast a white man as Othello, when there are plenty of good black actors.
I bet that there would be uproar from the woke brigade, if that happened.
@@pauljackson2409 How familiar are you with Shakespeare? Not so much Scottish history, but the play MacBeth?
@@pmgrantz I'm pretty sure that MacBeth was white. What's your point?
Why are you looking for historical accuracy in a Shakespeare play?
