The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) - All There Is Is The Hard Way
<p>What can you say about Macbeth that hasn't already been said? Well, Don and Chuck aren't exactly sure. But they do their best, anyway.</p> <p>Joel Coen's new adaptation of the classic Shakespeare tragedy stars Denzel Washington as Macbeth and Frances McDormand as Lady Macbeth. Together, their ambitions lead to murder, an ascendance to the throne--and madness. It's well-acted and visually striking. But Shakespeare is traditionally hard to understand for modern ears. Can Don and Chuck enjoy watching a movie without understanding the dialogue?</p> <p>Probably! Though, it might not be this one. They can at least understand enough to talk about some lessons, including:</p> <ul> <li>The toxic side of confidence</li> <li>The role of fate</li> <li>"You need something under your ass."</li> <li>The MEANING of LIFE</li> <li>...And some other, less meaningful ones.</li> </ul> <p>For a more understandable version of Macbeth, check out:<br> <a href="https://youtu.be/tuZ6JOEMrng">Macbeth: Death by Fluffy Kittens - Live & Online! by Shakespeare Approves!</a></p> <p>Follow Don & Chuck on Instagram: <a href="//instagram.com/imitatingartpod">@ImitatingArtPod</a><br> And Twitter: <a href="//twitter.com/imitatingartpod">@ImitatingArtPod</a></p> <p>Music by Nathan Terry<br> Follow him on Instagram: <a href="//instagram.com/nterrymusic">@nterrymusic</a><br> And visit his website: <a href="//www.nterrymusic.com">www.nterrymusic.com</a></p> <p>Listen to Don's solo podcast: <a href="//anchor.fm/dontworryimfinite">don't worry, i'm finite</a></p>

Paterson - Examine the Minutiae of Your Life
<p>For two guys who both went to art school, it sure took Don and Chuck a long time to review a Jim Jarmusch (Jar-moosh?) movie. Paterson's story is so simple, any plot description falls short. In examining a week in the life of a quiet, unassuming bus driver with the soul of a poet, it beautifully explores themes of duality and simple beauty. </p> <p>And Don and Chuck remember to rate this one.</p> <p>LESSONS:</p> <ul> <li>The sun will rise tomorrow</li> <li>The little things in life can hold tremendous value</li> <li>The two sides of you depend on each other</li> <li>...and a few more</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p>Follow Don & Chuck on Instagram: <a href="//instagram.com/imitatingartpod">@ImitatingArtPod</a><br> And Twitter: <a href="//twitter.com/imitatingartpod">@ImitatingArtPod</a></p> <p>Music by Nathan Terry<br> Follow him on Instagram: <a href="//instagram.com/nterrymusic">@nterrymusic</a><br> And visit his website: <a href="//www.nterrymusic.com">www.nterrymusic.com</a></p> <p>Check out Don's solo podcast: <a href="//anchor.fm/dontworryimfinite">don't worry, i'm finite</a></p>

Minari - You Can Make No Mistakes and Still Fail
<p>As a production company, A24 has been killing it for many years now. So, it's about time Don and Chuck got around to reviewing one of their movies. Minari is a simple drama about a Korean family. When the patriarch decides to move from California to Arkansas so they can start a farm, it ushers in an era of change for the family. Even more, they move in his mother-in-law to help raise the kids. The film tells the story of the year (or so) after they make the move, living in an area where they have no friends or resources, and shows how they struggle to build a successful farm and stay together as a cohesive family unit. It's a well-made and poignantly-acted film, particularly the performances from the young actors playing the family's two children.</p> <p>The film also helps Don and Chuck discuss lessons such as:</p> <ul> <li>Doing work for work's sake</li> <li>The relationship between hubris and faith</li> <li>Something unassuming can still have value</li> <li>Failing isn't always your fault</li> <li>It can all go up in flames</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p>Follow Don & Chuck on Instagram: <a href="//www.instagram.com/ImitatingArtPod">@ImitatingArtPod</a><br> And Twitter: <a href="//www.twitter.com/ImitatingArtPod">@ImitatingArtPod</a></p> <p>Music by Nathan Terry<br> Follow him on Instagram: <a href="//www.instagram.com/nterrymusic">@nterrymusic</a><br> Visit his website: <a href="//www.nterrymusic.com">www.nterrymusic.com</a></p> <p>Check out Don's solo podcast: <a href="//anchor.fm/dontworryimfinite">don't worry, I'm finite</a></p>
