Wealthy Rollo Treadway (Buster Keaton) suddenly decides to propose to his neighbor across the street, Betsy O'Brien (Kathryn McGuire), and sends his servant to book passage for a honeymoon sea cruise to Honolulu. When Betsy rejects his sudden offer however, he decides to go on the trip anyway, boarding without delay that night. Because the pier number is partially covered, he ends up on the wrong ship, the Navigator, which Betsy's rich father (Frederick Vroom) has just sold to a small country at war.
Agents for the other small nation in the conflict decide to set the ship adrift that same night. When Betsy's father checks up on the ship, he is captured and tied up by the saboteurs. Betsy hears his cry for help and boards the ship to look for him, just before it is cut loose.
The Navigator drifts out into the Pacific Ocean. The two unwitting passengers eventually find each other. At first, they have great difficulty looking after themselves, but adapt after a few weeks. At one point, they sight a navy ship and hoist a brightly-colored flag, not realizing it signals that the ship is under quarantine. As a result, the other vessel turns away.
Finally, the ship grounds itself near an inhabited tropical island and springs a leak. While Rollo dons a deep sea diving suit and submerges to patch the hole, the black natives canoe out and take Betsy captive. When Rollo emerges from the ocean, the natives are scared off, enabling him to rescue Betsy and take her back to the ship. The natives return and try to board the ship. After a fierce struggle, Rollo and Betsy try to escape in a small dinghy. It starts to sink, and the natives swiftly overtake them in their canoes. Just when all seems lost, a navy submarine surfaces right underneath them and they are saved.
表现主义&极简风格。
黑人演员演白人起码掩盖下自己的黑人表演痕迹。
只能说很有个性吧
First thing first, why is literally every single living thing is doing the Scottish play.....
光看画面不错，麦克白是不是黑人我也不懂，德不配位是肯定的。当大型实景舞台剧看看还行，多的意思也不大。
8.4分 乔尔科恩单挑大梁，改编了一部如此特色鲜明的莎士比亚，竟也没有让我失望。台词并不如想象中难懂，很多时候未必需得听出每一句的意蕴，只看出表层了解大意便足以投入故事感受其魅力了。剧作五星，当然这是莎士比亚的功劳。而在这诸多的人物甚至都没有交代什么背景的前提下，竟毫不纷乱，科恩的功力真是了得。看得出来他绝对是下足了功夫，一如自己的风格强调着宿命与人性，极简主义和黑白风格用得和谐，庄重肃穆，气势恢宏。几场室内戏极具表现力，留白恰到好处，光影变换让人如醉如痴。算是将一场舞台剧完美复刻到大荧幕，尽管没有太大创意。
固定摄影导致空间感的缺失让人感觉是在用电影拍话剧
O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife. Thou knowest that Banquo, and his Fleance, lives. And in his royalty of nature reigns that which would be feared. 'Tis much he dares. And, to that dauntless temper of his mind, he hath the wisdom to guide his valor to act in safety. There's none but he whose being I do fear.
话剧式的电影，黑白配色会让质感更有张力。观众能比较容易get中心含义。很safe和扎实的作品。
My voice is in my sword.受不太了这个美学
每一位功成名就的大明星都想要一个证明自己有台词天赋的机会
有些低于预期，更像是配上绝美画面的剧本围读。
4.现代种族价值的改编，黑人的加入，多了点政治正确。
Macblack not Macbeth ，这是什么文艺复兴？把戏剧文本直接搬上银幕，是一个很有意思的想法，但导演的能力显然不足以支撑其野心，十分缺乏想象力（要不就是没钱），只用特写、简单的剪辑和演员的独白台词去讲述故事，而没有用更多更丰富的镜头配合舞美和演员场景调度去挖掘麦克白和夫人的内心～既然都把文本直接拿来用了，就不能有点儿舞台想象力么？建议导演多看看NTL～要是谁在舞台上这么导戏，准得被骂死…但讽刺的是，搬上米粒坚银幕，这就变成了艺术

想了一下这座城堡甚至可以拍所有莎翁的戏 保留古英语最大程度还原莎翁的戏本，演员在里面反而不重要了其实
癩蛤蟆嘗試吃天鵝肉，最後被蝦兵蟹將鉗死了…
科恩的影像实验，做足形式的影视化舞台剧，但剥离古典主义的现代化风格，其价值又能有几何?看不出有什么新鲜的表达。
瞠目结舌的视听体验，简直是奥逊威尔斯还魂。表现主义的光影，沉重苍凉的史诗。科恩这次单飞同台竞技胜过了黑泽明和波兰斯基，华盛顿也强过三船敏郎。
这样的表演去找戏剧表演专业的学生一抓一大把。
