The setting is Vienna in 1914 before the outbreak of war. The aristocratic and somewhat jaded Prince Nicki, pursued by all the ladies, begins a flirtation with Mitzi, a crippled harpist who works in a suburban wine-garden, and who is in turn idolized by Schani, an uncouth and violently jealous butcher. Their first encounter significantly takes place in front of St. Stephen's Cathedral on Corpus Christi day, with Nicki among the emperor's cavalry regiment. Later, in the refracted light of falling apple blossoms in the wine-garden--scenes of a distilled, ethereal beauty--Nicki gradually wins her faith and love. Meanwhile, amidst the sumptuous and corrupt milieu of the family palace, Nicki is drawn into complicity against his will, as his unscrupulous mother informs him he must marry Cecelia, the daughter of a wealthy commoner, in order to revive the family fortune. Mitzi has a vision of The Iron Man (a symbol of the declining power and position of the Hapsburg dynasty) and falls before the crucifix in fear; but her love remains steadfast, and she protests her faith though abused by her mother and Schani. Infuriated by her rejection, Schani threatens to kill Nicki on his wedding day unless Mitzi agrees to marry him. Following the processional splendor of the cathedral wedding, Schani appears to carry out his threat, but Mitzi arrives in time to stop him; and through the downpouring rain Nicki sadly gazes on his true love in the crowd as he drives away with his bride.
极简的布景与美到极致的摄影，倒是很好的呈现了舞台效果！让这部戏剧味更浓。而简化的剧情也使故事更紧凑 演绎得也很优秀
莎翁剧到底适合什么样的影像表现形式？室内+黑白+多象征
摄影美术服化道和表演都是顶级的水准，为颁奖礼而生的那类电影。肯定不难看，但没啥感觉。
颁奖季 nothing to comment
p.s.好的，我们已经看过了黑人演的麦克白，估计不久的将来我们也可以看到黑人演的维纳斯，默罕默德二世，明治天皇和林肯。不知道将来有没有希望看到黑人演的希特勒，白人演的马丁·路德·金，以及同性恋演的耶稣和跨性别者演的J·K·罗琳。
怎么感觉科恩的《麦克白》不应该直接是麦克白，正如库布里克的《奥德赛》应该是《2001太空漫游》
莎士比亚的话剧对白 配上乔治德基里科似的画面，体验非常奇妙
6.0 布景甚至光都假得很——舞台质感，要说优点也只有这点了，至少给了一种体验，但这也不过是布鲁诺的功劳，那么单独的科恩，他的贡献呢？
舞台感太强，削弱了电影的魅力。演员说着莎士比亚台词，却没有一丝古典的韵味，人物身体语言、动作语言、房屋建筑均让人出戏，整个就是一现代舞台剧。麦克白的贪欲动机生硬单薄，所以他的毁灭也难以引起共鸣。
这版的麦克白夫人被改的很有人性，死因也更加神秘
科恩重演莎翁，在多版本的《麦克白》改编中，能否排得到前列恐怕还是打个问号。但是影片在风格化和形式感上确实做得十分出彩，精美的黑白影调干净、简洁、漂亮，渐进地模糊了戏剧与电影的界限，视觉享受直接拉满。
这光影布景无敌，科恩的极简式改编。欧洲的文学巨著却启用黑人演员，也算大胆尝试了。
除了摄影 空间置景惊人 其余部分真的是毫无必要再重新remake一遍了…

最出彩的是王后，最复杂的是那个奴隶似的传话官，但“麦克白”本身似乎还少了一点。
巧的是弗朗西斯·麦克多蒙德在《无依之地》中念了一段麦克白的对白，这下直接演了麦克白的王后。
最近又给学生讲了一遍麦克白，再来看这版电影。配乐，摄影，Washington的演绎，看得我起了一身鸡皮疙瘩 。
古典悲剧的宿命捉弄借以极其冷峻和风格化的影像+声音风格被无限放大。看正片其实反而没有看trailer时那么惊喜，因为全片都是如此风格。但也太享受了，future classic.
一部份古式表達的台詞聽不懂可能要看中譯(但不想再看一次)用盡全力做的功課只是到頭來這些buff加一起不足以拯救this same old story
丹泽尔同志操着一口地道美式英语把麦克白从英武上将到践祚登基到野心覆灭的复杂的悲剧性的心理活动诠释的如同白开水，只在最后十五分钟的末路对决中进入了状态，凭着那个拾起掉落皇冠的动作，原谅这个男主角提名。弗太后的麦克白夫人也只能说是无功无过，出场不过五分钟的女巫令人印象深刻。
