THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH Movie Review **SPOILER ALERT**

[@giveusbarabbas7138]

thhe best part of these reviews is that joseph is there for you when you don't care about the movie, and nick is there for you when you do.

[@vodkatonyq]

in which review does Joseph care about the movie?

[@FillyYounghorse]

exactly lol

[@shawnpolluch3510]

Nick has movie knowledge that can probably make even Quinton Tarantino sweat in trivia night

[@scothatfield]

What makes your reviews so great is it's like we're sitting in the room with you, having a convo about the film. Hope that doesn't come off sounding creepy, but just wanted to try and verbalize why you two are so good. Another excellent review and I'm looking forward to this one!

[@jacobstaten2366]

I love the spoilers warning for a story that's hundreds of years old and most of us had to study in highschool.

[@Xyz123Etc..]

😂😂😂 they’re so sweet lol

[@lesleyhairston9167]

i loved the film. i wish i could’ve heard more of your insight on it nick. there were so many amazing moments, it’s heavy in dialogue and heavy in these intimidate, shadowy moments. you miss the beauty of that in the way joseph summarizes the film, but there’s soooo much in there to be enjoyed and explored.

[@Firebug018]

Yes for the Titus love! 💜 And as someone who's very familiar with Shakespeare, I understand what Joseph's talking about. The problem is that most actors aren't directed to play the text as dialogue, but as poetry. The scripts are written as poetry, but they are meant to be dialogue. So most of the times, the line readings can come across as stilted. Al Pacino's Looking for Richard actually has some great insight regarding that. Really looking forward to this movie! Thanks again for another great informative review, you guys are awesome 💜

[@shandalperry]

I *loved* Julia Taymor’s Titus! I’m so glad you mentioned it.

[@jimmyl324]

Joseph is so funny and Nick’s reactions are classic!so entertaining.

[@davideoliveirapinheiro1096]

Looking forward to this film. It has the strange characteristic of being the first film by a film director that has been working for nearly 40 years. The Coen Brothers are a single entity in my book and I don't see how he can be only Joel Coen without re-shaping his career as something diverse from what came before and The Tragedy of MacBeth looks like it. There is a strange trend of siblings separations: the aforementioned Hughes Brothers, the Wachowski Sisters and the Coen Brothers. All the while, the Spiereg Brothers are still there after so many horrible films.

[@martinezgerard]

We get a strong hint as to Lady Macbeth’s vulnerability when she says that she would have killed Duncan himself had he not looked like her father sleeping. That crucial line helps establish the vulnerability of her character to feelings of guilt, and it makes her transition into madness even more credible and nuanced. It doesn’t just come out of nowhere. She was never just a ruthless killer, and we get the sense that she sends off Macbeth to do things that she herself could not or would not do. That single line, incidentally, was edited out of this movie version.

[@trinicarillo4179]

Love you both. Nick your enthusiasm for Shakespeare is my fuel! I love Macbeth especially the character of Lady Macbeth. Performances live and die based on casting so if they don’t get it right it can ruin it.

[@kellykelley2649]

I have tea. I work in theatre production for Berkeley Rep Theatre. We did Macbeth in 2015 with Francis (and a GOT actor I can't remember right now). Macbeth was played by the jewel of Bay Area theater for the past 35+ years James Carpenter. Joel was around a lot - and would sit in rehearsals. Rehearsals were spent watching James do a master class on Macbeth, Frances and Joel would sit there, learning from him. I loved seeing James get some validation. BRT does not do classics. We are known for doing new work, political and disruptive, but Francis reached out wanted to do this. The set was a massive tree of life (fantastic) - the play was just ok - James and Francis were good but the GOT actor was blagh and the staging wasn't great. ** I always wondered why Joel was around so much because he didn't do Shakespeare. When I heard about this film, I was hoping James would get something, but no. I guess they got to work out the kinks with us before going on to make their film. I have to check this out, if just to see what tweaks Francis has made.

[@Vijay7090]

Very interesting... So How did you like the film?

[@andreachaparro3742]

This is my most waited movie for the next year and this review was everything I needed it to be. You guys should review Shakespeare on a regular basis 😂😂

[@jamievicha1660]

I love how you guys go off on tangents

[@wellergurl]

🤣🤣🤣OMG, Nick's disappointed/appalled face that Joeseph thinks the Coen Bros are young and new. (He even closes his eyes in disgust) 😩😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️

[@addictstatic]

Joseph I think we all were momentarily concerned 😂😂😂😂

[@selena___]

Agreed - this was a superb adaptation. Glad to have seen it at the cinema.

[@matina4432]

Joseph already give us face lol 😂in like 30 seconds

[@jamesirwingofobogmailjames2673]

Im seeing this tomorrow in Seattle if i can get there in the snow.

[@DevNeShay]

Joseph: Well go through your little notes 😂😂😂

[@naynay-fi7iv]

Love that Nick vets films for Joseph. Also, defo gonna watch this film cos it really does look like it's stunningly shot, but doubt I'll understand much of it. Thanks for the review.

[@lawrencewraith4357]

FYI Macbeth and King Duncan who Shakesperes 1606 play is based lived roughly 1000 years ago. Thankyou for including references to other versions of Macbeth especially Siberian Lady Macbeth .

[@saidtheactress]

Wonderful watching Nick’s excitement and Joseph’s complete disinterest.

[@neondemon4345]

Denzel Washington was really good in this movie. Giving he has an intensive background in Shakespeare, he did a great job. The ending was so good.

[@selena___]

Thank you for this review which has encouraged me to watch and also to revisit the play. I was fortunate to have had the most fabulous teacher at school who was our guide. I saw the Justin Kurzel film as I love Marion so will be interested to compare.

[@wellergurl]

"At what point do you get to Out, Out Damn Spot"...hee heeeeee 😂

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

I played Macduff in high school. Time freaking flies! 😳

[@scorpiolady73]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSS Titus... yes. My favorite. Anyway...a very hot yes to the Tragedy of Macbeth. I loved this film.

[@stephaniel4679]

Shakespeare was the queen of medieval shade Nick!! Love it too!

[@veganpeace7890]

I'm looking forward to this. The trailer I saw definitely caught my attention. I've always loved Shakespeare.

[@DIZELMADE]

I was on the fence with you guys at the beginning of this review, but I love the dynamic. Keep up the good work.

[@matina4432]

Yes I love Julie Taymor Titus Andronicus‼️‼️‼️ The best Shakespeare. Have you guys reviewed it? Please please do a throwback review.

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

No, we haven’t. We’ll have to add it to our throwback list lol

[@davideoliveirapinheiro1096]

Julie Taymor's Titus is one for the ages. Big fan of Polanki's MacBeth (and Kurosawa's), Kurosawa's Lear and Almereyda's Hamlet (his Cymbeline also has a special place in my heart).

[@keshanichele750]

I really want to see this, but I am worried about being put off by the Shakespeare way of speaking

[@susanburgess820]

I get it Joseph. Shakespeare is still way beyond me. I definitely would have to be enticed with some sort of goodie, ex dinner at one of my favorite Italian restaurants, to see this or any other movie/play like this. Love you guys❤❤❤

[@BobBallVO]

I’ll have you know I listened to that 90 minute podcast (since you told me there was one and gave me a link)!

[@DTae202]

It seemed like it was a little tension explaining the movie between yall two…

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

Welcome to our channel

[@scottwoods8496]

Just wanted to toss another notable adaptation on the pile: 1990 "Men of Respect" starring John Turturro. It's solid - not great, but worth a watch.

[@thomasinajones6684]

One of the best interpretations of Macbeth that I have seen is Men Of Respect starring John Tuturro and Katherine Borowitz. It's Macbeth with a mobster flourish.

[@medmon3476]

We had a good time studying Macbeth in High School; to lessen the tragic intensity of it a little our teacher took us to a comedic musical retelling of the story.The performance included (an imaginary) dog named Spot who Lady Macbeth detested & was always shooing away (out damn Spot) until she deliberately force fed him so much he exploded and bits of Spot were everywhere (clothing, furniture,floor covering) so the refrain of the chorus took on a whole new meaning. I always liked Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Everett in a Midsummer Night's Dream - maybe Will's comedies are a good place to start rather than head first into the tragedies?

[@TheFreeBlackWomensLibrary]

Happy New Year Cuties!!!! 🍾🍾🎉🎉♥️♥️

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

🎉

[@babytoshiro7014]

Bravo and Merry Holidays guys!💯 I want to see this movie soooooo bad. Thank you for the review🙌💖 Nick you have sold me on Shakespeare again lol Thank you!

[@lulubelle2009]

The only Shakespeare I read & analysed at school was Romeo & Juliet. I was excited when I saw the trailer for Macbeth with Denzel & Frances. But sadly, I couldn't force myself into the cinema whilst the wearing a mask was still mandatory. I think I'm going to deeply regret not seeing this on a large screen.

[@evillink1]

At this point we shouldn't need a spoiler alert for Macbeth, it's been like 400 years lol

[@orishaorisha684]

Yes, the cliff note version.

[@williamskat1]

Oooh I'm excited for this review.

[@kimwesley9105]

Now I'm curious, since it was mentioned; Joseph, will you ask Nick what did he think about the movie "The Color Purple" with Whoopi Goldberg? If possible to sum it up in a sentence or two 😂😂😂💛💛💛

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

He’s says, “it’s a classic. Whoopi is phenomenal. It’s depressing AF, and a black woman probably should have directed it.”

[@kimwesley9105]

@@fishjellyfilmreviews Thank you for the response and I concur.💯❤️

[@richbarrett6380]

This is probably the only review of a Shakespearian film that’s gonna reference the Hughes Bros and Dr. Dre.. Best advice from this video though is to do some homework beforehand, I gotta admit I was lost a lot of time during the story. Won’t pretend to be a pseudo intellectual and claim this as my favourite Shakespeare movie, that honour still lies with She’s the Man aka Twelfth Night,

[@stephaniel4679]

Omg joseph im with you on the cohen bros.....they seem like theyre in their thirties!!!!

[@rachanachettri3415]

There's a Bollywood adaptation called Maqbool... It 100 times fire

[@growingheart8039]

Great video! 🌞 New videos are so exciting! 🙃

[@blkkatemoss]

Cant wait to see this movie

[@millsykooksy4863]

I loved this movie

[@vodkatonyq]

Going from Shakespeare to MTV??

[@raymondabreu4148]

No you’re confusing the coen brothers with the safdie brothers

[@Kay.D]

I couldn’t understand sh*t. I coming to youtube after watching to understand what happened.

[@rashidapittman8513]

You guys should watch much ado about nothing, that’s also Shakespeare and Denzel is great in that as well.

[@daxmargo8078]

I really want to watch this as I love Frances McDormand and the Coen brothers, but I refuse to watch a movie with Denzel in it. He is one of the biggest homophobes I have ever met. I had dealings with him in my business and he literally told me not to talk because he didn't like gay mens voices. Absolute trash.

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

Oh wow

[@tonyabrookes9931]

Oh no 😔

[@daxmargo8078]

@@fishjellyfilmreviews yes he also refused to shake my hand when we met, and looked at me like I was a piece of garbage. It was the first time I was really speechless, I am usually sassy with a homophobe but I was so taken off guard.

[@jackellsworthsavage5384]

jeez ! way to spoil the Scottish play's surprise ending!

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

Isn’t this story 500 years old?

Polanski did the best version!
