I really like this Macduff, but the line is actually wrong here (3:23). It is also dealt as a throw away line under Polanski's direction. It is not, "He who has no children." Which would be Macduff lamenting his loss. It is, rather, "He has no children!" Which is Macduff referring to Macbeth not having any children and therefore able to kill children and not be appalled at the thought.
I don’t know, I’m certain he is in fact saying “He has no children”. It may just be the way he delivers the line that makes it sound like a throwaway but I prefer to see it as Macduff processing and grieving over the news hence why he sounds like that.
despite the film technically be anachronistic to the intended time period (and also having some logic flaws in the later setting) i actually like the 14th / 15th century setting with pikemen seen in the background and late medieval plate armour
It usually starts out with Macduff trying to convince Malcolm to reclaim his birthright, and the young prince saying that he'd have been no better a ruler than Macbeth if he did.
I always come back to this; I was in class watching this and 1:26 comes up...

Josh Paddon trueeeeeeeeeeee
@Josh Paddon it is true I can agree
They cut down that part with the English Doctor and all that shit. Guess they felt it wasn't necessary.
@@sha11235 I mean it was really only to honor the king at the time, so it has no use in modern depictions of the play
Only because he was testing macduff’s loyalty to Scotland since he ran away so quickly
Macbeth, Macduff Moment
Now that is a mustache 0:10
macduff be looking like dutch van der linde from rdr doh
Macbeth? INSISTS?
This is appalling. At no point do we feel anything of MacDuff's grief. Just awful.
I actually did.
bruh
I enjoyed seeing this movie version. However, as usual we have to put up with hearing posh English accents. Not a single Scottish voice, as i recall.
Ross actor not that good. He’s like “yeah you’re kids and wife are coo and then a second later yeah just kidding they’re dead haha”
wtf is happening?
Macduff has just been informed that his wife and kids were clapped up by Macbeth and he is grieving, vowing to kill Macbeth.
The other young dude with them is Malcolm, the heir to the tyrant king Macbeth’s throne
Watch the whole movie.
Bruh
Innit
Josh Paddon trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
