A LITTLE LOVE FOR MACBETH (2015): The Most Stunning Movie You've Never Seen 

Hey everyone! Hope you & your loved ones are all doing OK in this crazy time! Got another big WHY I LOVE video on it's way soon, so hopefully this little ode to a movie I adore will do in the meantime ❤️

Macbeth, more like Macbest looking movie I've ever seen!

This soundtrack is STUNNING.

It’s weird to think about how this movie has the exact same director and cast as the Assassin’s Creed movie...

I remember seeing this in the theater with about 7 other people. Absolutely jaw dropping on the big screen.

Love the beginning when the music kicks in and the black screen “raises up” almost like a curtain going up.

Finally someone giving this film the credit it deserves. It's insanely underrated!

I read Macbeth a few years ago in my senior year of high school. I was never big into Shakespeare and often never liked the old english but Macbeth is probably the only story that I actually liked. Maybe one day I will get the time to watch this movie for someone that just loves cinematography and the use of color in movies.

Absolutely 100% yes. I just finished rewatching this movie 5 minutes ago in preparation for your video, and was still absolutely blown away. It almost feels like it glorifies violence with the cinematography looking it's most gorgeous in the beginning and end, but it does the opposite. As you said, it feels primal and I truly love that. Macbeth is my favourite piece of literature and this movie absolutely nails it.

I remember last year at school when we were studying Macbeth and I missed the day they played this movie and I only saw the end of the movie the next day and holy fuck was I absolutely stunned by how incredible it looked.....and then we watched that Macbeth film with Sam Worthington as a Australian gangster

I love this film so, so much! I remember watching it in the cinema when it first came out, and it was like nothing else I had ever seen before. I've watched it several times since then, and I can't get enough of it. It's one of those films where all its elements are pure perfection, from the cinematography and music to the casting and editing, and comprise something of indescribable artistic beauty. Every single aspect of it is perfect. I'm a big Shakespeare nerd, but I think that this is exactly how modern adaptations of Shakespeare plays should be! It's a criminally underrated piece of art, and I am so glad someone is finally talking about it, especially someone as passionate about film making as you. Thank you for making this video!

it truly is the most stunning movie. I saw it when it came out. I enjoyed it so much. u made me watch it again now

I fell in love with the story of Macbeth from the first time I read it in school. Once I learned about this movie, and that my favorite actor ever was portraying the man himself, I knew I was going to love it. My jaw still drops at the unbelievable spectacle of this movie, and the powerhouse performances of every single actor involved, down to the extras. Thanks so much for covering this masterpiece. Edit: my username here on RU-vid was actually Hail Macbeth for a long time before I changed it to my name because I need to make my Google account all professional. 😅

Thank you for making this! I watched this film (twice) last year when I read Macbeth in school. Adaptations like this make me love Shakespeare. But goddamn, this film is amazing. After I watched it I found every BTS video I could and had the soundtrack on repeat for weeks. Super underrated, and master class in how to make something beautiful without $100M.

Yes, it is indeed one of the most stunning piece of images, sounds and music (and acting!!!) in my whole film-watching memory. Absolutely perfect.

The frames in this movie are simply breathtaking ❤❤ it is like the grandest way to tell an epic tale🤩🔥❤️

Holy crap the music and visuals

Nice to see this film getting talked about

Absolute visual poetry...the soundtrack is a masterpiece as well!!!

Ok seriously dude, why don't you have more views? You seriously make some of the best film related content on this site, and this was yet another great video from you. Keep up the good work Bailey!

this movie is Just Stunning

finally some love for this film

I knew what this movie was about as soon as the witches tell the prophecy. It's very much like what happens with Cersei from the GOT book; A Feast For Crows! The decent to insanity, the corruption through power and tragedy of fates is handled so beautifully.

The most stunning video I’ve ever seen

The only negative that this video has is that is only 5 minutes. Again excellent job

I remember being obsessed with this trailer when it was released cuz we had just finished Macbeth in school and it was a Shakespeare play I actually enjoyed

Beautifully written 😌

Yes!!!! I’m glad to see more love to this underrated gem. Its the movie that got me hyped for Assassin’s Creed (that was bad however); but this movie is absolute Kino

Hi, I recently saw your video on Lion King and I freaking loved it. I love how there's a channel dedicated to loving stuff instead of criticizing it. Keep up the great work.

I never get tired of Macbeth or Hamlet adaptation. Every actor playing those characters brings something new to the table. On an unrelated note, I havent heard anything about BCS Season 5 from you. Have you been watching it?

Movies are just so cool.

I’m absolutely obsessed with your content Bailey!

The folks at my work played this one at their monthly Shakespeare movie screenings. I’m glad they played this one twice because I’m ashamed to say I slept through most of it the first go round.

i have been yelling about this movie since it dropped in 2015. I listened to the soundtrack all the way through and had to walk it off. The heavy use of drone notes is amazing... by the end it's like waking up from hypnosis or something - it's that good. thanks for sharing the love!

I know :( there isn’t a lot of Macbeth adaptations out there and it’s one of my favorite Shakespeare plays next to Romeo and Juliet. The closest I thought was good was an Akira Kurosawa feudal era adaptation of the play and it was beautiful and amazing. I have yet to see this one and it’s been on my radar since I’ve heard of its release. Great video! Glad to know you’re doing great and being safe! 👍😊

I do so enjoy your enthusiasm, so much so that I shall have to find this movie that I have not seen! Well done!

I love the story of Macbeth and this film looks amazing!

Thank you for make a video about this underrated masterpiece.

The world is getting lost in the haze of the Coen adaptation but I hope we still hold room for this in the future. Just a splendid beast of a thing this movie is.

Fantastic video, as always. I have to see this movie now!

Looks like it was filmed during the shooting of Apocalypse Now. Looks beautiful.

thanks for introducing this to me, can’t wait to watch it!

As a theatre and Shakespeare nerd, this left me happy. Oh, and holy shit this movie looks amazing.

Great video Bailey. I love Shakespeare and great cinema so I'll definitely check this movie out.

You need more subs man. You're thought provoking dialog discussing movies and shows is really good.

I watched Macbeth as soon as you announced this video, now i've just gotta get to Kurzel's other films.

Aayyy, he kept the Civil War comparison

First time I saw this was the night before my year 9 English essay on the play itself and I put this on to kinda refresh my thoughts on the themes and motifs. But oh boy it did a lot more than that. Fantastic video mate, loved it ❤️

I haven’t see this film yet, I’ve been inclined to from all of the praise I’ve seen from it, and I was going to watch it for free on Prime Video, but after seeing all of the visuals you showed throughout this video... instantly bought it online on blu-ray, I need to watch this in the highest, crispest definition, this film looks bloody amazing! Really entertaining video explaining all of the film’s best aspects, I can’t wait to see it!

HELL YEAH

This was so good man. Keep up the good work!

It's not a movie, its an art piece 👌 not perfect, but surely very memorable

Perfect vid! Gotta give it a watch now

Loooooooove this movie

Mat here: I thought I’d commented, but realised I hadn’t! Sorry!!! Wonderful video. The movie is absolutely stunning, and you captured the experience of it. One negative thing I will say about it is the audio design has maybe ‘too wide’ a dynamic range. If you’re fortunate enough to be able to turn it up so all the whispering and mumbled close-talking is easily audible, the big moments are HUGE. But I don’t have that luxury in my apartment, and it was hard to make out lots of the dialogue without turning the dynamic range on my amp down and the voice enhancer on. To it’s credit in the same breath, the picture tells the story better than the words, better than my understanding of Shakespearean dialogue, and I felt the pain, paranoia, and turmoil in the frame.

Macbeth’s a stunner deal

please Bailey do more videos. please.

watched this in english clash and it was crazy

I love your stuff my dude. This video has got me really interested in seeing this, I'll let you know what I think

Awesome video!

Thanks for reviewing this, gonna watch it now!

I love this movie ❤️!

beautiful

Amazing

Of course, the kind of movies we find most aesthetically thrilling is a very personalised thing, so I'd love to hear: 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫? My other top contenders not too far behind Macbeth include both BLADE RUNNER movies, APOCALYPSE NOW, THE GODFATHER, FURY ROAD , 2001 and anything by Van Hoytema, Rob Hardy & Chivo

I do think that the pacing on this film wasn't great, but i remember watching it with my jaw on the floor in places. its a weird watch because honestly i think its visually one of the best movies ever made, but story itself (for me) wasn't well executed. I found myself watching for the spectacle, not the narrative because he renders the story so dry (shakespeare can be said with A LOT of heart and still be totally true to page, but I found the actors here often spoke like they didn't fully understand what their lines meant)....that being said damn what a visual spectacle it is. there are scenes of this movie that look like an oil painting. 100% the most gorgeous film ever shot

Here's wishing for a little love for BARRY

I guess I should probably go ahead and watch the movie then... Although, the language is a huuuge drawback for those of us not familiar with the play and whose first language is not English

I watched this a few months back for my drama class

The Most Stunning Movie You've Never Seen is actually War and Peace 1966, the most epic and impressive film ever made.

As a bit of a Shakespeare nerd - I have seen it - sadly only on my home TV but it is a big one so I do get a bit of the cinematic effect. Visually stunning but I like the Judi Dench / Ian McKellan version first performed in the round at The Other Place in Stratford - the experimental theatre place for the spoken words.

Didn’t even know this was a thing

well, you've summed up what i was thinking on my rewacthes. I guess that's your job tho, summing up....

3:43 It's called Voumetric Lighting, is it? XD

I didn’t get the ending can someone explain it?

Visually stunning, but I was bored to absolute tears and couldn't get through it. Perhaps the only time out of thousands of movies in recent years me and my friend had to skip through after about 45 minutes of nearly falling asleep. I dunno, maybe I'll give it another shot one day but I hated the experience. Was pretty to look at for sure tho

If you love the visual of this, I highly recommend The Green Knight as you will lose your shit on its visuals.

hey man, u should totally check out (or if u already have) review shadow of the colossus/ico/the last guardian and one of my favourites the infamous series from what you've already done with movies and games i would love to hear ur thoughts on the subjects those games bring up

Ok so this is amazing but like the Joel coen Macbeth is coming out with Denzel Washington and it’s going to make this film truly forgotten

I think i watched that in my 9th grade English class

Have you seen True History of the Kelly Gang? Justin Kurzel has outdone himself. You'll probably lose your mind if you see it :D

I agree with how stunning this movie looks, but I thought the movie was terrible. The battle scenes are some of the most pretentious, annoying scenes I’ve seen in any movie. An example of how just being stylistic for no reason other than flash, loses the audience quickly. I remember everyone leaving the theater by the middle of the film, because of how ridiculous, and pretentious it all was. Also I’ve never heard such lousy, inaudible dialogue. Couldn’t understand what the actors were saying for the majority of the film. A problem, that I know a lot of people had. Cinematography is again beautiful, but I thought the rest was just garbage.

Just finished watching the movie for the first time. Didnt enjoy this play when I first read it and I hated the movie even more. Not a big fan of british history or british culture in general, too barbaric for me when they claim to be civilized
