Professor Xavior (Patrick Stewart) has been Macbeth. Magneto (Ian Mckellen) has been Macbeth. New Xavior (James McAvoy) has been Macbeth. I'm beginning to notice a trend
Holy shit! Patrick Stewart is just mind blowing as Macbeth! I had nerdgasms as soon as I heard him start speaking and I almost cried in joy when he did the "Out! Out, brief candle!" part! Where can I find the full version of this!?! Someone please tell me!!! *flails about*
Patrick Stewart is such a superb actor. He perfectly caught everything required by the situation in the plot. He mixed a man who has just lost his wife, a crazy maniac, one right before his death, and a character who breaks the fourth wall to call out a nihilistic message, all in one single scene. Just excellent.
@Wampaa Yea I saw a bunch of them once at the San Francisco Gay Pride parade. Come to think of it I think Stewart was on one of the Trucks wearing his assless chaps.
"Macbeth" is the antidote to the talkfest of "Hamlet"...Macbeth has three short speeches at the end in the space of a couple of pages that simply make Hamlet look like the child he is..."Tomorrow,.." is one of them...I think this speech is better than anything in Hamlet...They have switched places...His Lady was the strong one in Act, but is now mad...Macbeth...I kind of feel sorry for him...Most readings are without emotion...I think this is a mistake...I still can't read it right...
@1948BigCy I love macbeth far more than I love hamlet. Granted I love hamlet,Great soliloqueys and interesting study of prince hamlet, but I agree that macbeth is shakespeare's stronger work because the sight of this man, conflicted about his sin but horribly stuck going deeper and deeper into murder and madness because of his guilt and paranoia is far more tragic and realistic.
@mrdropkicker1 Shakespeare used a different type of versification in Macbeth; much more natural and speech like. I think that too many directors and actors do not get the subtlties of Macbeth's and his Lady's personality and dynamics...Macbeth is a decent guy, does what he knows is wrong, partly to please his wife, not because he is simply evil...the last three speeches tell us that...oh...the things we do for love!!!
It feels weird to actually see him on his feet. I probably need to be punished for knowing this guy only as Proffesor Xavier. He is obviously an astonishing actor.
What film is this from? MacBeth doesn't work in the modern day. Mac would have been caught by forensic straight away and Lady Mac would have cleaned out the spot with some Dettol. Also people have since learned to ignore the rants of crazy sounding women on the street rather than accept them as clairvoyants. :P
@SwitchittDown14 I think at this point he's gone past despair and into some sort of stupefied dead place. So much has gone wrong that he can't hold it together any longer. And yet he's a human being, and he knows that he has to keep living until he dies, and he doesn't want to kill himself, so he's trapped, empty, in this grim continuation of pointless life. That's one analysis! Pretty sure the best thing about Shakespeare monologues is you can interpret them how you like. :)
These are my favorite Shakespeare words. It is the first existentilism. Not Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground. Macbeth's Tomorrow......is the first.
@LtEggSalad86 Yes, but some Shakespearean performers (like Stewart) think medieval costume may detract from modern audiences' ability to connect to the characters.
@LtEggSalad86 Shakespeare can be performed in any time or place. I was in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream that took place in the 1920s and if you watch a lot of Shakespeare films they don't set it in the time that the play was performed. Take Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet which takes place in victorian era Denmark or a much more recent version of Macbeth that takes place in modern day with macbeth and macduff as rival gangsters. With Shakespeare there are no limits :)
This reminds me of a dream I had. I was in a shop, then a war broke out. Everybody grabed weapons and all that was left were tooth brushes, me and a few other people. Then I was like, "just grab the tooth brushes they'll have to do"...
It's interesting to watch this after seeing a video where Stewart said he was advised by Ian McKellen that the important word in this little speech is "and".
@hanroxdaworld buy the play version of Macbeth- "NO FEAR SHAKESPEARE" is the name of the books; they provide the script plus modern day translations, look it up on amazon or summat, that'll help u if ur having trouble with the speeches n all dat :) in a nutshell tho, he's talking about how no matter what ur efforts r, ur gonna come to the end and that it all signifies nothing. whether or not he is talking about himself or everyone is still up for debate. best x
Nicely done. This reminds me that Stewart is such a talented actor--he transforms himself--that I didn't recognize until a 5th viewing that he was the actor playing a part in Henry V at the beginning of one of the ST: NG episodes (on the holodeck).
What I loved about this version is that nobody over-acts. You get too many Shakesperean plays where they're just too dramatic, but all the actors give such an element of reality in this. It's mesmerising
I watched this one and the Polanski version for my Shakespeare class, and I must say that this one is infinitely better. When he puts on Macbeth's personality, Patrick Stewart does so well, I would guess the Bard himself would be proud. And this film brings out the tragedy while making it intense and atmospheric, especially with the deep, creepy music you hear almost the whole time.
"She should have died hereafter; There would have been a time for such a word. To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying nothing."
I agree
