Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

kapelusznik18 Julius Caesar triumphant return to Rome after his army's latest victory over Pompey is warned by a foolish looking blind sooth-slayer that trouble abounds and is to strike him the very next day on the Ides-or middle-of March. Thinking him being mad Caesar attends a Senate meeting the next day that with also despite his wife Portia in having a strange vision sensing something terrible is going to happen to him and warning him not to go. Caesar in the Senate chambers ends up being murdered by members of the Roman Senate body with his good friend Cassius-the one with that lean and hungry look-striking the first and his good friend and second in command Brutus the fatal blow! Feeling that Caesar was getting a bit too big for his own good and soon to become declared by the people of Rome King or Emperor, which he in fact doesn't want,it was decided by to do him in- JFK assessing style-and frame some poor pasty-who is to be named later-in doing the evil deed. That's before a live and power hungry Caesar liquidated the Roman Senate together with Brutus & co. along with it.At Caesar's funeral or grand end off Mark Antony who was aware of the treachery done to his friend Julius Caesar instead of praising his dead friend exposed those that murdered him Brutus Cassius and their fellow conspirators causing them to check out of town before they end up getting lynched by the outraged populace! With Mark Anthony taking command of the Roman legions and the late Caesar's adopted son Octavius-the original Mister October-as his #2 Man they defeat Brutus' rebel army by ambushing it at the battle of Titinius leaving it's leaders Brutus & Cassius in paying, for their crimes against the Roman Empire, with their lives. Which they in cowardly fashion instead of dying in battle or combat having their aides, instead of their enemies, run them through!The best film version of William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" with the late Marlon Brando's performance of Mark Anthony completely blowing away the entire Academy Award caliber cast. Brando's performance was so electrifying that his co-star in the film James Mason as Brutus asked the films director Joseph L. Mankiewicz to tone it down in the fear it would overshadow his own as well as everyone else in the cast! It was the first time that Brando unlike in his previous bringing down the roof performance in "Streetcar named Desire" showed he can speak perfect English and not mumble-as if he forgot his words or lines-his way through which he was known for back then in the 1950's as well as even now.

nicole_guerrero This movie goes into depth with the details from the book. (It gives you a visual of the scenes from every act) Summary: It is about Julius Caesar and he is warned to be careful with his life and his wife has a dream of him getting killed. He at first listens but the gets convinced that it was just a dream so he goes to the meeting with the senate.He goes to the senate and they have planned to stab him to death because they believe that he will gain to much power and they fear he will abuse it. The Senate proceeds with their plans and they kill Julius Ceaser.Caesar's funeral comes up and they let Antony speak and Antony tells the whole truth of what they did. Then Brutus tries to convince them that it was done because it was a choice either save Rome or let Julius make them in to slaves. The crowd does not believe him so now Brutus and Casiuss are in hiding trying to protect their life's. At the end Brutus and Casiuss die but not because they are captured but because they choose to die.

Tarianah Bonnette I didn't really enjoy the movie either . However, it caught my attention more than the book did . Meanwhile , I could understand the movie a little more . This was because I could hear the way the characters were saying their lines and it was clearer then me trying to say it by myself . The movie wasn't a full ten because i couldn't understand it . It was so similar to the book and therefore i struggled . If i had a chance to choose to watch the movie or read the book , I would watch the movie because it is easier and you can get a visual of what is happening . The book was boring and i liked how in the movie , they dramatized some things that would happen .

Luis Guillermo Cardona What sustains for years in power the most heinous political, it is your choice at any cost to get rid of whoever, and however, arising as an obstacle in its path, is its ability to make alliances with anyone who decides to favor them, although then be paid more than favors or betray with creeping attitude, and is, among other things, his capacity to lie higher than the maximum power and its decision to keep the deception even touch them on the most sacred oath. It is well known that, the most heinous acts committed against humanity have gestated in government halls and men who will have earned monuments. And all the outrages that have perpetuated the poverty of people screaming, without being silenced, in the walls of the houses of government. How little faith had, the great playwright William Shakespeare, in the statesmen! "The abuse of greatness, he said, occurs when separating the clemency of power." And historians tell who was drinking from the source of Plutarch that came the idea of talking about the Romans. ¡And what a nested area in which corruption and lies, and how good an example for the rest of the story! The result is a book that dazzles with its magnificent language with its presentation of vivid characters and contradictory, that impact and shake, as Marcus Brutus, Mark Anthony and Cassius. The first and last, with a desire that transcends personal affection for the common benefit. And the second, ready to cozy up to anyone and promise the impossible, to preserve power. Joseph L. Mankiewicz achieves a very tight film adaptation that preserves the full taste of Shakespearean language and displacement, and achieving more than satisfactory characterizations, especially in the roles of Marlon Brando (Mark Anthony) and John Gielgud (Cassius). A sober atmosphere, use a tight black and white, and a dramatic atmosphere of calculated intensity, which leads us to feel with great force throughout the English writer's pessimism against everything that involves the name of state policy.
