 You have a favorite Shakespeare play? No Okay Hey, welcome back to our Stupid Rex units of Corbin. I'm Hamlet and you can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or G.C. Com, Tiffy, thanks for the patience, put a comment in the bottom of the news, so I can follow some person who needs a chance to subscribe from below and Hamlet's yours, right? Hamlet is his. Yeah, and we've talked about that before obviously in our, in our hander and probably the McBull and probably their own. And everything. It's not only my favorite Shakespeare play I think it's the most important and greatest work of theater of all time ever. Yeah, so anyway, it's obviously we're re-reviewing the new film Georgie. Oh, I thought we were supposed to watch like McBeth with Sir Laurence Solivier. Well, I think you can, you probably got the same gist. Probably we today. So I'm gonna be okay. I think it'll be okay. Because this is a total McBeth adaption. I actually would consider this more of a just inspired by than a full-on adaption. But anyways, yes Georgie, it came out just the other day starring for Steel. We are quick on this one and if we hadn't been, I think Stupid Babies would have like took us out to the rails and tarred and feathered us or something. I think it would have been bad news. Directed by, ooh, that's not a very good reference is it anymore? You can't make that reference anymore. It used to be a reference you could do is just like a general thing of we're gonna take care of you, but that has very bad bad bad bad bad Juju behind it. Directed by Juju Georgie. Hey, there you go. Deleesh Puffin. Who we've seen his other film, um, this one. Oh my. Yeah, that one. Yeah, don't want to wear Fad Vassil's The Necklace. I just can't pronounce it. And then it's also starring a whole bunch of other people. It's a heavy ensemble. But Deleesh Puthan, say that one. One of my a Prasad, Vassil Joseph, Baburaj, and so I mean if I'm mispronouncing, I'm not sure we might have seen that in supporting stuff and like this guy was apparently She was in virus and so we saw her probably in a supporting role there, but everyone else. It was mainly the hot Vassil show, but yeah, so this is Hmm, I guess we'll we'll let you know when the spoilers coming Yeah, if we say we'll try to we'll try to keep the fun and non-spoiler non-spoiler But yeah, it's on the Amazon if you haven't watched it go watch it come back. Rick your initial thoughts, please. Well, I Didn't like that it ended Yeah, yeah Zingo Hold on. What's ending? I liked it You didn't like that it ended. I know I just again No, I know what I was I was just trying to be stupid and make you think that I didn't like it And I'm terrible at those things as I can't lying is antithetical to me I can usually tell if Rick liked a film before we started. Yeah, we don't we don't talk about reviews ever Before we we sit down. This is just a raw. Oh, what do you think? Yeah, we got our first impression right, but I can usually tell when you walk I don't think you like the film I I don't hide things very well, so So you liked it. I thought it was really really good, man. I thought it was fantastically written. Yeah, I thought it was well directed I thought it was really Where if you're if somebody's wanting like we still said at the outset if somebody's wanting this like pure Shakespeare death Shakespeare adaptable. Yeah, watch me bull then then you'll get that that's not what this is But it's it's so good at what it does. Yeah, it's definitely a and I I as well Really enjoyed this film for heart for seal Mm-hmm, crème de la crème. Yeah, I just I love the man And so there's he's an actor man There's so much about this film that I really enjoy it's a slow slow burn So if you if you're expecting like great ensemble a Big huge massive reveal if you're expecting stuff like that you you you might be Disappointed and if you're a Shakespeare purist and you're wanting it to go into what Macbeth is known for You're gonna be irritated. Don't go in. No with that expectation on it go in looking for film That's a little bit inspired by yes look for the subtleties Yeah, look for things where they give you something where rather than the totality of one motif or one message being in it Yeah, look for how it's thread throughout in small ways and how the general overall message is contempt It's probably one of the best adaptations in terms of taking what Shakespeare wrote and then just Refashioning that and keeping the heart of Macbeth intact. Yeah, but making it its own. Yeah, entity. It's really smart Yeah, as opposed to what Vishal did, which you know, we love love that was a pure Adaption they took that story put it in India and kind of made it that made all the care You didn't have a bunch of characters from Macbeth in this one No outside of he was kind of no It even even relationally some of the relationships weren't the same that you would expect in it in a direct But it's the word adaptation adaptation is loose. Yeah, I wouldn't even call it that I it's inspired I would say it's just that me too. I would not say this is an adaptation I would say this was inspired by Macbeth one hundred percent. Yeah, I did enjoy the film will get into all that I enjoyed almost everything obviously the acting by everyone everyone everybody really really really great One of the best ensemble things and I am like I'm keeping track of our dummies that we're gonna be at the end of the year So I've been putting the things that when they stick in my head now I'm saying okay. I want that on the list this for me is in multiple categories for what'll be best of the year The score was great. I love the score. I love the money dinner. I love the writing in terms of how I'm gonna get yourself I'm a seal I can rave about and we'll get into that in the spoilers. So overall I really really enjoyed this one You should definitely definitely no watch this film. That's I want to get into it more So if you haven't watched it already, just please go watch it. And that's the other thing that's great about this I get so excited. This is probably one of the best films to give to somebody who's Completely ignorant to everything Shakespeare ever wrote and just give it to him ago. This was inspired by the best they'd go Really and probably Get them intrigued enough to want to know more about Shakespeare And if you know nothing about Shakespeare don't care about Shakespeare don't like Shakespeare You're still gonna like this as a standalone film. Yeah. Yeah So overall really really enjoyed it. Yeah, I haven't watched it go watch it. It's on Amazon because here come the spoilers So we're gonna get into spoilers here. We don't want you to be spoiled Especially especially if you don't know make knotty spoil time. Oh, yeah Say especially if you don't know Macbeth, yeah, because if you know Macbeth you can kind of you know where it's gonna go It's you're expecting it. You're yeah, so like that the entire thing of Macbeth This is what I'm expecting how it's supposed to end. Yeah, that's you kind of just have to if you say Macbeth You know, it's gonna be kind of Watch it go watch it now. We're gonna get into spoilers. Yes. Talk about acting. Okay, so spoiler time now We're assuming you're watching this because you've seen Joe G. Here we go. Yeah Yeah, let's go with the man boy Like I said at the beginning he's the dude is just a solid actor you want him he's he's like Love him so much. Yeah, he's just pretty much anything like rush come on Rao I consider them really comparable in terms of give them a role and They're gonna do it and you could pretty much put them in any kind of a role and he's a shape-shifter too because this I don't know if he dropped away for this. He sure looks like it. He looked so young I bet it's so thin. I bet he did because part of the thing in the script was the differentiation between him and the dad I think yeah, yeah, and that the dad referred to him at that one point is like this little blanket And he's supposed to you know, he's the mountain of man I bet he did it but it's strange cuz I could have pegged him in this as mid 20s, right? Yeah Other films we've seen you could be 40s. He can really play anything you wanted to play It's insane how well he did at one getting that whole of the seek of a younger person I'm getting the whole mentality out of a person body language But then energy in the skeletal muscular framework the way he crafted his Macbeth character was so unique because Macbeth this Macbeth is such a He's a he's a sleazeball. He sees He's not a good person. Yeah, he's always crafting how he's going to get ahead like the entire yeah Yeah, very wefully which I thought because we're gonna go back and forth with this with every aspect of the film So focusing on this main character I thought was really great because one of the things that's open to the way Shakespeare wrote Macbeth is What motivates Macbeth now? Obviously the Primary message of Macbeth regardless of how Macbeth is played is gonna be the consuming parasitic awfulness of Selfish aspiration and greed and wanting to aspire to something and obtain it, right? That's the core message of Macbeth But the cool thing about Shakespeare like all of his things that he writes is that the characters aren't simple They're pretty complex and it's open to interpretation like all people and I loved both in the writing and his interpretation That this wasn't so much about a guy who really was a conniving Usurping evil intended guy whose mind gets switched with in the original Macbeth you've got these Prophecies were said about me. So you've got the self-importance thing You get you can take it you could take it to the grand extreme of making it kind of almost Trumpy and in terms of this self-aggrandizing I'm gonna get everything the wife is in his ears saying do it do it There's these Bob God must want me in power None of that for Joji. No, Joji was just it wasn't even a lady Macbeth really there wasn't even a lady It was Joji. She's a massive part of Macbeth huge and I loved it. It was more. It was so subtle with just I've got this opportunity. Yeah, which I think is really powerful because what it does is it makes Macbeth more applicable to the common man in terms of yeah, anyone is susceptible if we're not paying attention to Well, if he goes I could be wealthy he's gonna die anyway all those small rationalizations and it was almost a performance within a performance because obviously Obviously he was given his performance to Joji, but he was also putting on performance for the front everyone else right all the time Yeah, and he did so well at that flipping that switch for the audience to see There was so many like the one where the brother confronted him about where he was and where he was smoking and that hole Yeah And then I love actually even though I don't normally like these endings I loved the ending where he came back and I wasn't dead talk to me. He wasn't dead Okay, I got a lot to say about that not just for the fun fact Yeah, because it's purely just great artistic fun. It's great artistic fun But then the fact that you should just blink. Yeah, and even at that moment. He will not admit to his guilt And then in his suicide note. He was and I know we're getting off of a hop to see a little bit Which is fine. We're gonna get old but the He wrote a suicide note and it was all society has done those to me sis He was all these lies and bullshit that your deflection even at the very end. Yeah, you shoot some stuff with an airsoft I loved it I did too now here's something I loved I loved two things that were so subtle But they showed the depth of the understanding of both our director and our writer about Macbeth Yeah, I loved to two things first of all in this aspect rather than have Macbeth go mad Which is what happens in Shakespeare's Macbeth. He goes and I love Macbeth I mean Macbeth when it's done, right is a descent into evil darkness Occultic madness. It is just bleak So what I loved is that rather than it end with Macbeth in madness It ended with him in that state He was in mm-hmm where it basically is still a physical representation of the totality of his being Altered but not madness. I thought that was so intelligent and I also I don't know if they intended it But when he picks up the air gun toward the end when he's about to kill himself with it I thought okay, you've been using this air gun a lot and it just clicked with me and I went ah So rather than give us what Shakespeare did which was this constant focus on This the greedy aspiration to become it was embodied the covetousness of want Was embodied in the little air gun from the beginning when the kid wanted the air gun and he did something to get the air gun That air gun was in a constant position throughout of being the thing that was either wanted or could get will get you what you want Yeah, so rather than like Shakespeare this giant thing of blood and murder and prophetic Witches saying what you're gonna get it was just the air gun throughout representing the same thing. Yeah, brilliant I want to talk about the directing Because this director whom he loved that other film that we fought for seal I want to see that the one that we didn't get to see but Because this guy directed the don't the necklace right the one with the necklace that we always we only don't pronounce it because we don't want to Just butcher it. It's called that again Dundee with a limb trick Staxiom so same director obviously obviously love that film this was easier to pronounce for us Love Joji and it's also a pretty unique because I don't know if I'm pretty sure was intended These are hooks so I don't I don't I didn't even notice that. Yeah, I thought some the J Yeah, the hooks in the J for the for the hooks in the film You finally figured out what was on the end of it. Yeah of that. We finally did but the other one is called Maha Yeah, I can't even my husband up With also with father seals. I'm very interested in that now, but yeah, I thought he did a fantastic job him the cinematographer Oh great cinematographer was so great job. Oh beautiful in this film It was almost equal to like kumballaji nights of just Falling I think it was Kerala that they were still in but it was absolutely gorgeous The way they and didn't it and it felt like a play sometimes didn't it that whole ensemble feeling which is what Macbeth is Macbeth is an ensemble like all of Shakespeare's things. Yeah And I wondered as well if there was just another little wink to the three witches when they had just the three guys in the pit Oh might have been right. Yeah, maybe there was a reason there were three guys in the pit And that's where the dad succumbs because in the beth the reason the dad falls is because of the prophecy of the witch Yeah, I bet that was a Just little things like that exactly rather than just be a direct, you know, like text-for-text or idea for idea There were all of these things that said we know Macbeth inside and out and we're gonna just make this story inspired by it Yeah, and I think there was a Bunch of other stuff which was one really cool that this took part in the pandemic Mm-hmm first film. I've seen that it's not about the pandemic Nobody takes place in our context right everybody's wearing a mask. It's like I just hadn't seen that You know, it's like this is kind of cool. It is our world. They're not making a big deal about it It's just 20 years from now. You'll watch this and hopefully we will no longer be wearing masks And it'll be one of those things that you could be watching this film in let's say in even ten years, right? You're watching it with Leland and go this is back when you were born everybody was having to wear the mask Yeah, it's contextually where this takes place at that time I really enjoyed it and there was a bunch of lines that were really a more tip of the cat Like I think one of the best lines was when she who she did a phenomenal job the girl Who was Lady Macbeth as it were? Bensie. Yeah, Bensie. Her name is she's basically the Lady Macbeth character, though She's not Macbeth's wife right there. Yeah, uh, Onamaya Prasad. Yes Apparently we saw her in virus I thought she did really good. You're very subtle performance. Yes Very um Great Indian kitchen performance. I felt like I read in that role in the family agreed But she also wanted to help the family out as opposed to that one because the family was an absolute asshole in that family But I felt she was in that kind of role. Mm-hmm, which is why she didn't speak up a lot Yeah, she didn't do a lot, but she was the one that she had to serve everyone. Yeah She was the backbone of the family it felt like well the dad was the muscle I really felt like especially for him and that was where While she's not the same character as Lady Macbeth in terms of The Putting the ideas in his head. Yeah, she was still the same character in terms of the dependence that Macbeth Joji had on this woman. Yes in his life. Yeah, and I felt that that was a really nice Great line and it was when she came in at the funeral and told him To get up and put your mask on It was very because it's a kind of a tip of that but again to make best. Exactly. It's obviously double entendre pandemic But also it works. Yeah, I thought I love putting on the mask And there was a bunch of those kind of lines that wouldn't surprise me if they just kind of adapted it from the original And again the rubber woods That is something that the witches prophesy in the original Macbeth They prophesy that Hamlet's demise is going to come from a forest And he can't wrap his head around that as to what that actually means and what happens is the guys who come to get him For doing what he did come camouflaged in bushes and trees from out of the forest Is it any wonder that in this story? He goes into the forest and it's from there that it's found out that he's done what he's done And the forest is the place of his demise again another we know Macbeth But you don't have to know Macbeth to enjoy the film. No, absolutely not. No, it's just a bunch of stuff like that But I want to talk about the score as well. Yeah, that was one of the first things you notice in the film It's a very orchestral score, but perfect for Macbeth. Yeah, absolutely. Beautiful. It was haunting What a composer his name is every moment of it was pretty flawless and it had points It was a great score by Justin Varghese if i'm if i'm mispronouncing that forgive me, but It had what you want on a score It had moments where you didn't even know it was there And then it had moments where as somebody who pays attention to the details you could step back and go Oh, come on. Yeah, that's just freaking great. Yeah So I loved loved the score There's very little I think the only way you wouldn't enjoy this film is if you don't like slow burns If yeah, if you're if you're kind of a person that just needs action needs needs stuff to be going on that's In your face. There's always stuff going on in this film But I I know people I mean I know someone who They don't like movies that make you think they want brainless activity. So they're gonna watch like that's okay sometimes I know but it's their normal like diet. They don't want to watch stuff. That's stimulating intellectually It's it's very confounding very strange. Yeah, but I agree with you. I personally don't I don't think that this is a movie that You would like if that's the kind of person you are other than that Especially if you're a film lover and if you're a Shakespeare lover This is for me again, India has taken a Shakespearean play and made a great contemporary adaptation of it It's for me one of the best adaptations of Shakespeare put on film Of the films that have come out this year. What's your favorite so far? Uh that have come out this year 2020 released not that we've watched not 2021 this one This is my favorite film this year. I will put great indian kitchen over this number two I that's I can't argue with that. That's one of those Like if we were voting at the end of the year, you said great indian kitchen I couldn't blame you for it. But for me 50 years from now, I'll be recommending joji because of the shakes for your connection I'll be recommending both of them. I loved them. I loved them both. I just I think the the overall film In the message. I thought was so powerful. Oh, it is and this was doing I was taking anything away from this No, and I'm not taking anything. I loved great indian kitchen. But if I had you know, someone put an air gun to my head I would I'd pick joji. Yeah, that's my favorite so far loved it. I loved it. I think uh, If I obviously I love his choices And and just picking Quirky dark. He brings such a quirkiness to all of his characters Just certain moments in this when he would just stare and it would make me laugh Yeah, just the way he's staring or smiling and yeah I loved and I don't I don't know if it was scripted Or if it was just an organic thing that happened in the moment Or maybe it happened when they rehearsed the scene and the director said keep it But toward the end When he's just before he confesses he's called out for doing it and he knows they're on to him and his reaction is And walks into his room. I thought That was freaking weird. Yeah, that was great. I loved it. Yeah And if if a lesser actor was acting and it would seem forced forced it wouldn't be real Yeah, yeah, it would have been you did that you did that so we would notice it wasn't he's that's why he's such a talented actor Makes everything look natural. Yeah, that's why I'd love to know the origin of that because I my guess is it Just happened and they kept the take. Yeah, so So let us know what you thought of it. We hated it Yeah garbage film garbage. Yeah, really garbage. I can't remember the last time a release came out And more stupid babies were assaulting my direct message in box Yeah, I guess that was the last one Hopefully they'll be a little more happy with us. When are you doing it? When are you doing it? When are you doing it? You got to watch joji you got to watch joji So i'm very much looking forward to his next one that comes out. I think it comes out in may Yeah, do you want to use a beard? Yeah Very much looking forward to that. Let let us know what the next malion and fahad fasil film that's already been out And we should probably start another channel like a third channel It's just fahad fasil stuff. Yeah, probably uh our stupid fahad reaction our stupid fahad reaction Maybe he'd come talk to us over there. He needs a song. Yeah I need to get him a song or a chant
