You can feel (artfully done) the rage, without saying it, indeed by saying the contrary, just hints, mainly through pauses! What a Master of his craft!
I agree 100%! HBO cut out one of the most important speeches in history, and then filled the series with “facts” that were false. There are so many it’s impossible to list them all, so I’ll give just a couple: the idea that Octavian screwed his sister, Octavia, is sensational BS. Number two, Atia was was never a lover of Antony-she remarried after the father of Octavia and Octavian died. One more: At the time of Octavian’s triumph, Atia was dead. This entire series mixes some accuracy with all kinds of inaccuracies for the sake of sensationalism. It’s too bad that many people probably believe the stuff is true.
It's a TV show, no one should view it as a Historic text. They might have changed some stuff but it's one hell of a tv show though, and It made me interested in Roman History so that's good of them.
No, the speech was specifically intended to stir rebellion against the Senate (and foster his own ambitions). Had he not given it, it's quite possible that Rome might have continued with a republican model as before. Then again, maybe not. I guess we'll never know. Thanks for watching- i hope you derived some value from it!
No, it was just some drunk guys at a bar commenting it... That's one of the most important and consequential speeches in the history of mankind! That changed history and condemned the Republic...
@@ardechirpakfar6823 Mark Antony's speech is not preserved. Most adaptations use Shakespeare's speech from "Julius Caesar". The Rome series tried to be realistic, human, psychologically based (and motivated) in many ways. Some drunken plebs in the pub were interpreting what Mark Antony did and said at Caesar's funeral. And it was damn good. An uneducated individual (like the whole crowd) described gestures and words that affect people emotionally so that the common people could understand (and be turned on by it). Perfectly. And it was even better that they didn't show it - because the funeral plot itself might disappoint, it might not portray this unique moment well, but the reputation we have about it is better than seeing/hearing it directly. The description from the point of view of some simple drunk is a great way to interpret that event.
It is unforgivable that they cut this out of HBOs Rome
HBO's "Rome" wasn't Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar". It would have been plagerism if the producers had played Marc Anthony's speech verbatim.
No this was meant to include good performances.
It was clever to omit the speech and show the aftermath, subverting expectations

If Purefoy had been allowed to give this classic speech, he'd a knocked it outta the park.
Why did HBO cut this out? It’s so good what a shame for new viewers.
Using this to memorize the speech for class
Glad to help! Loved it when i was at school too!

I would love to see the speech by the way. Also the battles, I wish CGI was as good back then.
Did the political turmoil of Rome improved after mark Antony speech...????

The HBO series ROME did the speech much better.

It’s from a play. You know, theater.
@@Shelmerdine745 That here is from the play of Shakespeare but they should have done way more in Rome than a drunk gu,y saying "Bla Bla bla..."!

Antony's speech was not in that series.
