Bleak but Brilliant?

Rating: 6/10 (12 October 2015)

Movie rant! So ‪#‎macbeth‬.... I have never felt so passive or confused about a film in such a long time. Don't get me wrong everything about this movie is epic! From Fassbender and Cotillard's intense acting, the bleak yet dramatic setting of Scotland's highlands, the costumes and the haunting score were all out of this world. Now when I normally love all of the above in a film I usually find myself watching an epic piece of cinema and yet with Macbeth I feel so... Depressed! Depressed is how this film made me feel. It was so bleak, intense and Art house it sank it's grim little fingers into the pit of my soul and abused me so hard that any happy thought I had left were snatched away. Not even seeing Fassbender semi naked in wet pants couldn't give me any joy. Don't get me wrong I love to feel abused like the next person, I just like to feel either anger and enjoyment not Depression and emptiness. Ps. I Really needed subtitles with this as there Scottish accents were so strong it sounded like they were talking in riddles. "5/10 or 8/10 I just don't know" says ***the_beauman***
