The "Bloody" Macbeth
“To-morrow, to-morrow, and to-morrow…” Macbeth’s speech after her wife committed suicide because of feeling very guilty. Well this film would be categorised as 18PL if it is to be rated in any cinema in Malaysia. It was just too violent to be watched in Malaysia and I guessed FINAS would never allow that to happen.
The first scene itself had foreshadowed what was going to happen next. The burial of the hand by the witches symbolised how the main character in the story would make a lot of sinful acts by using his hands. This was definitely true as Macbeth had been very sinful killing his own King and also his best friend.
As I watched the film, I just could not stand the scenes where brutal acts are shown especially when Macduff chopped Macbeth’s head off. It was just so terrible. I felt all those things were so barbaric and civilised people should not do such vicious acts.
The other thing about the movie Macbeth that I found interesting was that the portrayal of Lady Macbeth as a wife who had a very great influence upon her husband. Although in the end she become crazy and then committed suicide, I would consider her as someone who was brave and full of courage and knew what she really want in her life.
Even though I was not doing Macbeth, the opportunity of watching the film was rewarding. At least I had a feeling that Shakespearean plays can be understood although it may take some time to do so.
