¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesThe first solo directorial effort by Joel Coen. All of his previous films have been co-directed with his brother Ethan Coen, though Ethan was uncredited as director until 2004 due to DGA rules about directing duos.
- PifiasWhen Banquo and Fleance prepare to leave, Macbeth tells them their horses are ready. But Denzel Washington gets the line backwards. He says, "I commend them to your backs," instead of "I commend you to their backs." He speaks of plural horses, but in the next shot, Fleance is riding the only horse, and Banquo is walking.
- Citas
Macbeth: Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle. Life is but a walking shadow... a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot... full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Artist: Carter Burwell
Denzel and Frances are masters in their own right. While their performances as the Macbeths may not be as striking as Hunter's, they nonetheless make for a very good pair to carry this film's weight, and each bring a grounded freshness to their lines. One thing I really appreciate was that they didn't "rise themselves up" to the weight of these characters, but rather brought the characters down to them. Instead of expanding their presence to fill the shoes of giants, they let the words filter through them with the coolness of their own natural presence. I could see and hear Denzel and Frances adopt the text in their own cadence/mannerisms, and (to quote another Shakespeare play) "acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness."
Finally, Joel's vision really makes this adaptation stand out. Its aesthetic is a clever blend of film and theatre, employing the intimacy of one with the uncanny semblance of the other. Not only does this effect serve the presence of ghosts and witches well, but it gives the whole piece an almost dream-like quality that draws you in like the air-drawn dagger. But beyond that, Joel's understanding of the text and concept as a whole is so sharp that his own changes to certain scenes/characters offer a savvy new take on a 400 year old tale.
