The Tragedy of Macbeth

how was it

I thought it was fucking great. Which means Mickey probably didn't like it.

[VinylGuy]

but you are more of a theatre guy in my mind, so it was kinda impossible for you not to like it right?

Im concerned if this one is more filmed theatre than anything else.

[Malloy]

That's not true! You like unbearably corny shit like Andrew Garfield musicals but otherwise our tastes are relatively compatible.

I have about 40 minutes left in it, so I'll have to see how it ends, but I would say it's good but not great. It's definitely not "filmed theater" in the style of like, Lawrence Olivier versions--the camera is an active presence here, but it's certainly very theatrical in the delivery and minimalist in the set design. Those things don't bother me at all, I think it's a very good version of Macbeth and Washington is phenomenal. But I don't know that it's much more than that.

It's highly stylized and theatrical but it's not a filmed theater piece. It's definitely a film adaptation. And you should watch it if for nothing else than the lighting and cinematography. You're gonna shit when you see them composition and texture.

[VinylGuy]

good, good.

Yeah, I finished it and it's definitely worth watching.
