I feare Thou played'st most fowly for't

Just saw "Macbeth" by Orson Welles, which reminded me of some "Flintstones" episodes. A big bad faith anachronism, steeped in not altogether ineffective Wellesian expressionism. The whole set is made of big stony furniture thingies designed to look archaic. Everybody's wearing silly helmets and triangular shields that look like traffic signs. The good guys also have some sort of cross attached to them and the bad guys haven't, do I see a symbolism there? Everybody is forced to speak with a Scottish accent which mainly means that they rrroll the "rrr" with arrrchaic grrrandiosity deep down in theirrr highland thrrroats. Welles, of course, plays Macbeth. With his silly helmet on, he looks like a bearded and bedazzled Statue of Liberty in furs. In symbolic moments, he walks up and down the stairs a lot. Basically, the movie suggests that the play is about the character of Macbeth and nothing else and all Macbeth ever wanted was to become Orson Welles, the problem being that he wasn't intelligent enough to pull it off. Actually, it's an interesting movie, it just doesn't work. It's weird that nothing ages so fast as movies about the far future and the archaic past. They use the wrong lenses, I think.
