    • @ChiRonChiaren
      @ChiRonChiaren 4 роки тому +16

      It was agreed that only Caesar was to be killed. The conspirators themselves saw to it that Antony was spared. Essentially, the argument was that their assassination of Caesar was not to be seen as a purge (killing all the caesarian leadership), but a surgical removal of rot at the heart of roman politics. If Caesar was dead, then everything else, including convincing Antony to help restore the republic, was supposed to be easier. If they did decide to kill Antony (and perhaps Lepidus), they would forever politicize the assassination as anti-Caesarian rather than anti-authoritarian. This is an important distinction because Caesarian reforms were very polular at the time and repealing them too quickly would cause riots. They needed some of the Caesarian leadership to come on board to restore the republic.

    • @ChiRonChiaren
      @ChiRonChiaren 4 роки тому

      @Snaggle Toothed
      Correct me if I'm misunderstanding you;
      You are right to assume that the liberators would have wanted to replace Caesar. Among the 60 or so conspirators, there was a significant number of them that wanted to kill Caesar, Lepidus, and Antony in one go. Generally, they were split between former Caesarians (wanted to only kill Caesar to kill a tyrant and begin to *normalize* the republic) and former Pompeiians (wanted to kill Caesar and his leadership and *take control of the government*). Ultimately it was Brutus who convinced them to only kill Caesar for the reasons I already stated. They could have killed them, but they just didn't. The gladiators were there just in case the conspirators messed up.

    • @baldboyfriend8589
      @baldboyfriend8589 4 роки тому +2

      Brutus made quite foolish decisions. Brutus did not respect Cassius at all, we can see this especially in the argument part. Brutus had two chances to avoid everything that happened in the second half of the movie. He could have listened to the other conspirators and killed Mark Antony, and he could have just not let Antony say his speech at Caesar's funeral.

I have an existing passion that stems from these classes n this teacher who made an EXTREMELY virulent impression on my life n my future due to his magnificent teaching methods. I am watching this at 66 yrs old because I have an innate passion for Sir William Shakespeare n do so love and enjoy anything of his writing to this day!!! With these exquisite actors playing these historical roles so brought to the common publics attention by Sir William Shakespeare's writing makes this performance one of the BEST ever in Hollywood History!!! Thank you for sending this heralded performance to me this lonesome Springtime Saturday afternoon to resurge my reason for enjoying life, which, at this old n decrepit age, sometimes escapes me.

    For anyone wondering, the Mankiewicz, 1953 version of this play with Brando is free on Internet Archive. It's definitely the superior version IMO. No weak spots in the cast (Unlike here with Robards, who's the lead, reading his lines like a 3rd grader presenting in front of class), good direction, excellent score by the composer to "Ben Hur". The first half in particular is AMAZING, the tension is extremely palpable - You feel the fear and dread of Caesers regime, You feel the fear and uneasiness of the conspirators, and You feel the fear and sorrow of Caeser's wife. Great Film!
    (Also, I think far too many lines of the play have been cut in this version compared to the 1950s one)

    Not bad. I went and saw this at the movie theater in the 60's or70's as a kid. Seeing it this time, I have to say that Jason Robards was a pretty lifeless Brutus (too serious/gloomy) except for a couple of scenes. Overall though, I think it was a great version of Shakespeare. I understood this today a lot better than I did as a kid - I remember having a hard time following the dialogue and thinking I should have looked for a better movie. I also recall really being impressed with the assassination scene. I went home and told my mother about it like she had never heard of Julius Caesar before. Haha, just remembering all that made it doubly worth watching this movie again.

    If anyone is seeking accuracy you'll be surprised at how many "liberties" they took in this production, all in the name of dramatics.
    (I mean, that IS the whole point lol I do realize.)
    It's true that Caesar publicly denied the crown three times when he came back from expanding the Roman Empire, when he learned that he was to be betrayed by Cato and Pompey, he made the choice to march on Rome with his legions in triumph only to protect himself, and not to take power like Sulla had only a couple decades earlier.
    But, no Roman General had ever crossed the Rubicon without the intention of conquering Rome so that's why Cato convinced Pompey he was trying to crown himself like Sulla had.
    But, Pompey and Cato fled before Caesar could return, and Caesar was named "Dictator for Life" by the Roman population anyway.
    And was only betrayed and killed in the Senate chamber when the Senators started fearing again that he would become another tyrant.
    Obviously, this is a dramatic retelling, loosely based on the actual events. I mean, that's the whole point lol and all I'm saying is that it's all it should be taken as; purely for entertainment value, rather than educational.
    Pompey was betrayed by Ptolmey's Visiers and killed when he arrived in Egypt, after fleeing Rome when Caesar crossed the Rubicon, and Cato fell on his own sword when Caesar tracked him down in Utica.
    It's true that Brutus was there during Caesar's murder, and was the hardest one for the conspirators to seduce to their side, but this shows the soothsayer warning Caesar, when in fact he warned Mark Antony about the Ides of March, not Julius Caesar himself as is shown in this production.
    These subtleties, (and many more,) are minor indeed, but they're more than enough to make the difference between a passing and failing grade, if that's what you're watching this for.
    I really hope that nobody is using this dramatization, which is based on the play, for their exams lol or passing a test.
    A quick Wikipedia search will give you more accurate context of the events than this ever could.
    Hell, most of the quick UA-cam videos you can find would be more reliable narrators.

    Although I am aware that some of the acting has been criticised in this film, I personally feel that it runs quite well. There is a juxtaposition between a very dynamic and animated style, with a very underplayed one.
    I also love how the colours of the costumes stand against the subdued grey stone work of the Roman streets.

    the Senators that killed Julius Caesar were afraid and jealous of how much the people love Caesar feared that that love will ensure that he will declare himself King and absolute ruler but his death did not in that his great-nephew Octavian became the first official emperor

    • @1138thz
      @1138thz 6 років тому +6

      I agree. That Julius Caesar wanted to be king is absurd hence the reason for his murder has nothing to do with him being a tyrant. The reasons he was murdered are:
      a)Although a Patrician by birth he was essentially a populist that wanted to improve the lot of Roman citizens and freed men,
      b)He intended to break up the vast land holdings of a small number of hyper wealthy Patricians (buy using state funds to buy the land distribute land parcels to the unemployed.
      c) Remove huge numbers of slaves from Rome and Italy itself to create opportunity for poor citizens and Freed men.
      d) ensure that retired soldiers received their pensions and the land parcels (In Italy) they had been promised.
      e) because the senate was loaded with corrupt Patrician senators he needed dictatorial powers to put them back on the path of serving Rome.
      f) and of course because he had the power of the electorate behind him.

      How exactly? Trump doesn't have the people behind him (currently only has an approval rating of about 40%) He does not have the mindset for politics that Caesar had. The only comparison is that they both see themselves as future kings.

    • @Simonmagn
      @Simonmagn 4 роки тому +14

      I understans Brutus' actions. To me, Cassius is the real villain here. He knew that Brutus would betray Caesar if he believed he did it for the good of Rome. Cassius manipulated Brutus to not only betray and kill Caesar but to also become the face of the conspirators. Brutus saw his mistake in the end; while he still rejected Caesar's politics, he saw that the murder brought more misfortune than fortune to Rome. He murdered Caesar to protect the Republic but ironically the murder was the nail in the coffin for the Roman Republic and the start of the Roman Empire.
