Shakespeare's Julius Caesar (1979 TV) - Caesar assasinated

[ElvisMcFly101]

"Caesar didn't see it so he ceased to exist, so the nigga that killed him got keys to his shit."

[trackgirl2187]

Wtf? I personally would like to believe JC looked more like Jeremy Sisto

[Skate2production]

anyone watching this for FLVS? haha

[harliette]

I read he was warned except could someone tell me how old Brutus was? Supposedly Caesar slept with his mother!?

[Hancerlioglu]

White people are like bulls and they go again one..

[alwayssummer247]

He died on my b- day

[mickeymik1996]

can we have the full movie plz...

[jonny12384]

The way he dies is actually kinda funny ^_^

[internetkd09]

our 10th grade class read the short version but i want to expand my knowledge..im going to get the book

[sixtiksix]

Would have never happened with full body scans....

[jhutsal22]

@STBXMediaX  You can check out the comparison video I made of Julius Caesar for my class that I posted here as a video response.

[sboudreaux27]

I watched the Cleopatra movie last night and they showed Caesar getting killed and she yelled, "My son." (referring to the son she had with Caesar).

[iamnotaskater11]

lets all give around of appaulse to the intense fight scene when they kill caesar

[SuperPrincess182]

thats really sad

[jhutsal22]

My class of grade tens laughed so hard at this today. So I'm gonna show them the HBO version tomorrow.

[STBXMediaX]

@jhutsal22 Are you a teacher or something?

[jhutsal22]

@STBXMediaX Yeah I showed this clip to my class and they didn't really get a good sense of the tragedy based on the awesome death scene.

[STBXMediaX]

@jhutsal22 I was sick the day our teacher showed the class the death, and when i came in they said it was the most fake thing they've seen. I decided to watch it to see what they meant. I have to say that i agree, it's rubbish. The other Julius Ceasar death is better.

[emurdoch100]

This is a terrible depiction of his death. If you want to see a much more accurate one, watch the HBO series version of his death.

[ABBA11STAR]

OMG! I THINK THE GUY WHO PLAYS CAESER PLAYSTHE NARRATOR IN THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW! =D

[aSecondCaesar]

I highly dought thats what Caesar ever in history would have looked like.

[emurdoch100]

@aSecondCaesar It's quite close, though he was probably a lot less fat, grey and English sounding.

[WlakyMaster]

5:13 xD eeeettt tuu brutee. he says that so funny xaxaxaxa

[sstuddert]

my God, that was terrible.

[yuigu]

this caesar looks like an English Bastard

[norman1102]

this sucks, the one made in 1952 with James Mason and John Gilgaud is much better

[sugessad]

This is probably the worst death scene ever.

[WlakyMaster]

@sugessad hahahaha true!

[4gearkier]

This isn't great Shakespearean acting to be honest.

[PotatoDennis]

ET TU BRUTE

[retroxkid89]

we watched this in english class my sophomore year. the guys thought it was badass. the gurls were all like "OMG!! AAAAHHH!!!" lol.

[orchote]

After this scene, Caesar did the Time Warp again, with Frankenfurter.

[movingdisaster]

lol imagne if a guy in skinny black pants comes along between them with his hair spiked and everything XD lol theyd say hes gay and stay away from him

[GetUpAndTryAgain]

wow...

[hyugagurl77]

why is caesar fat and this scene is just awful lmao.. whats with the acting?! lmaooo

[AtomicBaby123]

My class watched this in school and we were all laughing when Caesar was dieing. When Casca stabbed him then he turned around and grapples with him was so random and unexpected. xD

[mikolasa]

Caesar where is thy neck!

[caiteyxxlove]

I love how his "constant as the northern star" speech has such attitude!

[zanzalot]

He's in Diamonds are Forever (Caesar)! He is Blofeld.

[spadaydaga]

Let's do the Time Warp again!

[MeneerTiki]

It's just a jump to the left.

[MW2mikey5527]

@spadaydaga wushie wushie wushie wushie. . . Hath you no shame?

[roncesvalless]

bruto tu tambien hijo mio?

see the assasination of trotsky

[flattilre]

Very very very well-done. Thanks for posting this. I just finished the play, and this video really brings it home. Great great great.

[pwestbrooks]

I bet he wish he would have just did what the ppl asked of him now. wow!

[bassbeatle]

et tu, brute? one of the most famous lines ever!

[herpessores]

where the eff are the urban cohorts when ya need em?

[jokerisnomak]

well there is a theory that Caesar was so devoted to keep Rome in peace that he even forgot of his old enemys...The senate

[Hendrikdevuile]

With performances I have seen of the assassination scene, I have always felt much sympathy for Caesar, but Anton Diffring plays him as such an arrogant, domineering snob that it is difficult to feel any pity for him.

Another (mild) irony is an implied reference made to this very play and other plays based on this historic and bloody event.

[Draglx]

8:44, is that mark anthony? im confused :(

[Draglx]

oh rite, thats his servant, nvrm

[deepam08]

nope that is his servant who has come to ask if Brutus accepts Antony's words

[AlwaysAbiggerFish]

My favorite adaption is the comic book one by amulet books

[TreeBobbyJoe]

haha we did a school play on this and i was cassius. I had the exact same lines as well as everyone else

[arejayseeottawa]

I remember seeing this with my Mom on PBS 30 years ago, as Iran's Islamic Revolution was taking place. As this assassination scene was being acted out, Mom suggested that this was what was going on in Iran at the time, as "they've done away with one Caesar [the Shah], & are replacing him with another [Khomeini]." We should all be careful that in any future revolutions, we should not replace one tyranny with another. Remember Animal Farm. Remember Caesar.

[mikepiazza]

Reminds me of what the main stream liberal media did to Bush every night!

[rangerbobcat]

Crap.

[Morihirosan]

You're right, mate, except in the timing: every bloody moment did they it to him.

[Seasrmar]

There was no such thing as godparents/godchildren in Ancient Rome days, the term is of Jewish, that later Christian use.

[Seasrmar]

I'm going to correct some people comments. While this person correct about the 23 wounds. It is believe by some historian, that of the 23, only one was really fetal, the second one to the chest by Gaius Casca (Servilius's brother) The others had he escape, he may have live. Second, Brutus was not his foster or godson. While Caesar did have an affair with Brutus mother, they never married, and while he did see Brutus as like a son to him, he never adopted him as a son. He adopted Octavian.

[1loser5]

I have heard otherwise, actually. According to the scripts and the play and the teacher who teaches us the appreciation of this play, Caesar was stabbed thirty three times, for they believed that murdering him any other way would be a bloodbath that would soil their hands. That is the irony in Shakespear's Julius Caesar Act III.

[Seasrmar]

My friend, you're are basing your belief from the script of Shakespere's play. While I enjoy the play, I do not take it for historical accuracy. For example the play feature "Et tu Brute?" Many historians believe he did not say this, just cover his face as he about to die. Shakespere may have base the 33 stabs of another Caesar's assassination, Caligula. Many historians believe he was stab about 30 times, in a similar way, like Gaius. I think there are many ironies in Act III.

[Seasrmar]

Ok, I ran out of space on the last one. Few ironies, I see. First, you have heard "Keep your friends close, enemies closer." Well, in a way Caesar did do this, but his mistake was letting close to the point, he thought they are his friends now, and see what happen. Second, how he fall dead at the feet of the statue of his recent defeated foe, Pompey. There are other ironies, if you want to talk about it, just sent me a message, I don't think people want me to take up the writing here.

[lonelygeek001]

@Seasrmar did caezar and cleopatra also had an affair??? do they have a child??

[Seasrmar]

Hey lonelygeek001. Yes, they had an affair and had a son name Ptolemy XV Philopator Philometor Caesar or better known as Caesarion.

[rafvrab]

@Seasrmar the stabbing was fatal, not fetal. It reached him as a grown man, not as a yet-to-be-born baby.

[Seasrmar]

@rafvrab Ah, curse the mispelling of such words. lol Thanks for the correction.

[dltjdus1202]

Was Brutus really the godson of Caesar?!

[anomaly189]

Caesar's murder did not take place as it, he died approximately 2 minutes after the Brutus's fatal stab, his foster son.

He received 23 wounds.

[1loser5]

Thirty three!

[anomaly189]

23 sorry, the last pierced his heart !

[baseballCR2nd]

im with you

[anomaly189]

thanks guy

[baseballCR2nd]

np lol i had this question on my test the other day.......how many times was caesar stabbed in the play i put 33 got it right...and how many times was he actually stabbed and i put 23 and got it right soooooo.......yeah awesome

[anomaly189]

what do you want to mean?

[Cpcbuddy5]

they should have cut off his head lol

[HOLldaysz]

they needed some music at least lol. when he first got stabbed his facial expressions was "wtf was that for? because that kinda hurt oO,"

[bigwillietheb]

the 1970 movie was better when it came to the assasination

[TehNoobGalaxy]

Pwnt.

[jrg8008]

never knew ceasar was a fag

[Mobilecheese]

I heard you were one, too.

Is this true?

[Bearkiller777]

where is whole play?

[thomasioth2]

Et tu, Brute ,Gaius Julius Caesar...

Its not personal, its business ,The Godfather.

[LucaTurilli89]

Lol i found this funny more than sad especially around 4:50 like an old man is trying to take a shit :DDDDD. "I love treason but hate a traitor." This was said by GJC actually a quote ;).

[potterbond]

caesar dies in front of pompys statue. ironic much?

[Spider2point0]

@potterbond Very ironic.....

A great performance by the actors, I have to say.

[JohnLennonRocks]

caesar is played by the professor in rocky horror picture show charles gray

[death4351]

the first stab was to the back fo caesar's neck...i read it from a book

[LongLiveFlea]

Cassius is da bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!lol

[pacrox2]

thats not how caesar died. he kept avoiding the stabs until he saw brutus.

[smartbrick]

How come when they stab Caesar, their blades are still silver?

[scientistwriter]

lol owned.

[beatle96]

is it just me or did ceaser seem younger in thy book

[1loser5]

Thee doth find the style of talking addictive. ^-^

[biraj1985]

caesar was tooooooo... ambitious..

[di3ing2live]

do u pay attention to the story?look up antony's speech at the funeral and listen to wut he says. he denied the kingly crown!is that ambitious? he gives the citizens of rome huge amounts of money, is that ambitious?

[damnyereyes]

Dude, seriously. (a) You're trying to have a historical debate on youtube. (b) You sound irrationally certain about the motivations of a very complex individual living in a society rather different to our own. Really, the idea that Caesar wasn't ambitious is preposterous. It's the *limit* of his ambition that is debatable.

[di3ing2live]

he wasnt ambitious show wut level of ambition are u debating on? why limit something to which he is not?and by the way (a) ur criticizing me about a historical debate on youtube when u jumped in on it. and (b) i could go on about this all day so just end it now, i won, u lost

[mmdogg723]

wow that blew chunks

[orchote]

why do you think it blew chunks?

[orchote]

@mmdogg723 Why do you think this blew chunks.

[tennisballs9]

that was TERRIBLE acting... wtf???

[wolfemmpress]

But I am constant as the Northern Star.

[ornithogotus]

a crowd of assains, not a few. The assasination was much louder.

[ornithogotus]

Et tu, brute?

[di3ing2live]

it means "and you, brutus?"

[sidzpiredos]

well but Caesar had started acting stupid after he put on the throne though, started to think of himself as being more than human almost Godlike!!! lol..i remember my english literature class at school, great scene, very less gore

[death4351]

you don't know what he was thinking..... you idiot... read parts from his diary and also read many books on him then youll pretty much know what he was thinking... He denied himself as dictator 3 times when marc antony tried to give him a royal crown. He never wanted to rule Rome. All he wanted to do was become a consul rule for a year and then go to his provinces and be a governor.

[scientistwriter]

lol bullshit.

[thomasioth2]

No thats true (half)...he excepted "dictator"ship- for Life (actually..for eternity, since he was SemiGod to his ppl)...because he didnt want to appear ungrateful.

Great Man.

[shortafroman4]

i personally liked the shakespeare one more...

[greengrendel]

what an ugly Caesar.

[ArGEnTiNa10t]

this was stupid, doesnt show one stab happening, they seem like their hugging eachother

[NotTheRealSlimShady]

well thats how its supposed to be for Brutus, but yes, for the others its not violent enough stabbing

[docosong]

British death of Caesar, lol. Fantastic scene

[anthonytd103]

i have this movie

[shortafroman4]

diddo

[rustty728]

it shoulda been mor brutal and they weren't very

roman but it was still pretty good and they did a perfect job of acting out the play.
