Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
MacBeth, v. iii.
Sound and fury is as robust a movie as I can recall having ever seen. It speaks heartily of life and of the dilemmas and difficult decisions we all face. It confronts modernity and the extinction of culture. This film speaks of decisions made that are incomprehensible to other members of the same family. It speaks of steps that are superficially modest but whose consequences are mammoth. These are the decisions that we make daily and may eventually destroy human life on this rock. Sound and fury asks each of us in a soft voice if we are part of the problem or the solution. It is a moving picture.
