Julius Caesar 2002 Part 6

[Longmachao]

This movie is so inaccurate lol. Its hard to keep a straight face watching this. the Roman republic was already pretty big at this point.. this movie make it seem like Caesar is gonna make Rome into a giant power house.

[MissFlorses]

dictatorship was legal in times of emergency and I call that an emergency. He didn't actually engage in a civil war, that wasn't his choice, he was merely fighting against injustice.

[HolyCow4343]

the daughter of Caesar here sounds like English aristocrat....

[annemolly57]

Caesar's so cute! do they show Cleopatra in this? 

[clutchplayer19]

this. is. fucking. retarted. Not historical or factual in anyway. LAME.

[Dudepatrol47]

Im pretty sure Pompey wasnt consul yet. Let alone in rome when the senate voted for him to go after the pirates

[chloebella17]

I totally agree with you Mellqueen.

[chloebella17]

I like that word 'legion'. It sounds really cool. It kinda sounds British.

[HistoryLover1550]

Spartacus slave revolt was the most dangerous of the three Servile wars, it took 2-3 legions just to surpress it. It really was a huge slap to the face for Republican Rome.

[HistoryLover1550]

Egypt was the bread basket of Rome, without the grain and corn from there, it would plummit.

[att1tud3]

thats what education does for you...caeser is as smart as he is good on the batelfield

[TheYu87]

I have studied sources and I have studied Roman History in General AND it's army so much, that I think this film is one of the greatest films for caesar if not the best

[NaFran49]

@TheYu87

Well, it's weird since this movie doesn't follow any of the sources about Caesar or Rome

[pleasejump]

@TheYu87 I like the film, but it's hit and miss. First Cato was young (around 14, five years younger than Caesar) during the Sulla's purges and wasn't in the Senate, although Sulla liked Cato, Cato's tutor had to keep an eye on him during the purges because Cato asked him for a sword to kill Sulla. Sulla died differently, after retiring while writing his memoirs, and Sulla was an aristocratic supporter of the optimates but is portray as a populares with humble origins.

[pleasejump]

Also it was resistance from the conservative faction of the Roman Senate, led by Pompey, that demanded Caesar resign his proconsulship and the command of his armies before being allowed to seek re-election to the consulship.This Caesar would not do, as such an act would at least temporarily render him a private citizen and thereby leave him open to prosecution for his acts while proconsul. To prevent this occurrence Caesar bribed the plebian tribune Curio to use his veto

[pleasejump]

Caesar then made sure Marc Antony was elected tribune for the next term of office. Antony exercised his tribunician veto, with the aim of preventing a senatorial decree declaring martial law against the veto, and was violently expelled from the senate with another Caesar adherent, Cassius, who was also a tribune of the plebs. This was an extremely illegal act, (although Caesar himself didn't care about tribunes who got in his way, ignoring them or replacing them in several instances)

[helenadagreat]

i know they r kind of cousins or something

but julia and brutus would look adorable



[srtjones]

@helenadagreat

Julia and Brutus were not cousins. Brutus and his wife Porcia the daughter of Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis were cousins though.

[Mellqueen]

I love this movie:) And i love history

[lewisgunner1]

at 5:15 Caesar is like this is my daughter pompey is like how old r she is like 10 sir pompey is i will wait 8 years before raping you and we will get married

[ArguriosRS]

I think Julius looks a bit too young when his daughter is grown up already..

[AquilaRomana8]

It is quite ironic that here he gives speeches about banding together and not pursuing personal needs when:

1. His war in Gaul was to boost his own political popularity and actually considered illegal.

2. He engaged in a civil war with Pompeius Magnus.

3. He became a dictator of Rome.

[EdikShepherd]

@AquilaRomana8 And through all of this, the people loved him for it. It is Octavian's fault for turning the events into a TRUE dictatorship. Caesar had to gain political popularity simply so that he could achieve more. And if he didn't engage in a civil war with Pompey, he and his legions would have to remain exiles for the rest of their days. And even THEN, he pardoned anyone who fought against him.

[smithbrain]

@EdikShepherd i listened to his commenteries in an audio book. I agree with you 100% there are few people in the history of the world kinder then him. All throughout his life he was a victim of jealousy

[Noodles37UK]

@AquilaRomana8 Poliiticians...

[Rico8458]

you are correct, thanks for reminding me.

[1315229]

5:23

Isnt she the one Pompey will marry?

[Rico8458]

he is still too young to be called caesar.

[pikewerfer]

@Rico8458 It was his NAME! He was always called Caesar - even as a child. The meaning of emperor was attached to the name AFTERWARDS!

[LORDDANICLES]

brutus was a traitor and died a traitors death.long live mark antoni
