Do you like Shakespeare?

Watching the movies helped some, at least I can see what's going on, but the language is still an impenetrable wall to me

Denzel Washington's just released MacBeth is supposed to be fantastic



I watched this a couple weeks ago

Couldn’t tell you what made me put it on

It was beautifully shot, black and white isn’t used nearly enough, too many think it’s too old fashioned but it can convey moods and majesty in ways that color can’t

Very well acted

Denzel is a mesmerizing actor even if you don’t understand what he’s saying

And I didn’t

I know enough about the story and saw enough context clues to follow well enough along and get the basic gist of everything

But I found the language just as impenetrable as I always did
