See, I actually love Shakespeare and iambic pentameter. This movie, to my mind relies too much on mood and not enough on acting. Am I dead inside?
Slightly OT: The Tragedy of Macbeth
Some one I follow on Twitter was just gobsmacked by this play on AppleTV, which stars the great Denzel Washington as Macbeth.
I tried watching it and found one problem, the sound, and another, the acting. The former allows me to talk about it here. :)
I found the voice often mumbled and too hard to hear. In terms of the acting, and diction, the line delivery was on a metronome, and I wondered if the actors knew the words they were using or rushing through them.
Can any fans of the bard help me get more into this production?
