Julius Caesar (1979 TV)-Brutus,Antony funeral orations (pt1)

[blackheart909]

we gotta do this in front of the girls of our class lol

[destroyer17101]

240p we meet again

[Mmm23yummi]

yew should put the full movie pleaasee!!!!!!!!!

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

After months of contemplation and reflection I have found what is wrong with this version: Instead of depicting Romans the insidious BBC has simply dressed up English persons with Roman attire and so the play has lost its Roman aura, what takes away much of its greatness; just as much as life in England is but a shadow of life in Rome and this not only when it comes to global empires, laws, warfare and politics, but the very national character of the Romans outweigh the English one.

[oliness]

@FireEyedMaidOfWar Which Roman author was better than Shakespeare?

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

@oliness: An unfair question as theatre was for the Romans a Greek nonsense, but still in their spheres Caesar, Tacitus, Livius and Lucan can match with Shakespeare; and when the two nations are compared Rome always wins; for example: The English lost their lordship over India due to taxation boycotts of Gandhi; this could never happen to the Romans, as not even sweet Jesus dared to defy Roman taxation but was still sent to crucifixion; not to mention the wars of the Romans.

[mezza205]

'59 version is better

[Einstien1879]

marc anthony here is quite... weak.. but look intelligent..: > )

[alperenjkl]

if I fail for my English exam tomorrow cuz of this ....

I will let Anthony rise from death and kill him with my own hands

[YaxKukMo1426]

@alperenjkl Never blame others for your own failings alp. Tis your own fault.

[alperenjkl]

@YaxKukMo1426 it was a joke ... oO

[YaxKukMo1426]

@alperenjkl As was my comment apl.

[8888kimmy8888]

@Taycat23

Lol positive thinking!!!! We can do it!!!!!

[Taycat23]

@8888kimmy8888 Haha yeahhh we can wooo!!!! :P good luck!

[8888kimmy8888]

not that i loved Ceaser less, but that I loved Rome more! Would you rather Ceaser were living and die all slaves, than Ceaser were dead and live all free men? As Ceaser loved me, I weep for him As he was fortunate, I rejoiced at him As he was valiant, i honor him BUT! as he was ambitious, I slew him! There is tears for his love, Joy for his fortune, Honor for his valor, and death for his ambition! half my class has to know this (and more) by heart for monday :'(

[Taycat23]

@8888kimmy8888 i have to learn that for monday too! :(

[8888kimmy8888]

Be patient t'ill the last

Romans, countrymen and lovers

hear me for my cause and be silent that you may hear.

Believe me for mine honor and have respect to mine honor, that you may believe.

Censure me in your wisdom and awake your senses that you may the better judge.

If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Ceaser's than to him i say that Brutus' love to Ceaser was no les than his.

If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Ceaser, this is my answer;

[8888kimmy8888]

[jpg131995]

never really liked this movie this made me hate it

[Caracalla23]

@jpg131995 "this movie"????? The boys a fool.

[felipeguy12345]

english class sucks!!!

[Caracalla23]

@felipeguy12345 Being a "class act" is something very good here in the UK felipe and Keith Michelles portrayal of Marc Anthony is a "class act".

[RomanSoldier13]

Why couldn't HBO Rome at least have some references to the play? This is a direct translation but still!

[joshmarsh1]

heres what i have moemorized so far

o pardon me thou bleeding peace of earth thy am meek and gental with these butchers thou art the ruins of the nobelest man that ever lived in the tide of times woe to the hand that shed this costley blood over thy wounds now do i prophesy which like dumb mouths do ope thier ruby mouths to bed the voice and utterance of my tonuge a curse shall light upon limbs of men with domestic fury and fierce civil strife ..............................­........im awsome

[Over9000Wolfz]

"Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war" love that !1!!!1

[pLetchi22]

[kimonui]

[madambufe]

THIS

AND UNFORTUNATELY

I CANT UNDERSTAND WAT AM TALKING ABOUT..

HAHAHAH

[plusplusplusplusp]

Thumbs up if you're watching this because of English class

[lewars1912]

@plusplusplusplusp English what?

[thecarpenter45]

@plusplusplusplusp actually, its drama

[Strelnieks66]

@plusplusplusplusp

"Thumbs up if you're watching this because of English class."

Well, yes, but I suspect it is not like many of you. I am back at the university for my second MA and don't have to read or watch this play. I had to read another one and caught the fire. Unlike in high school, when I had to read this play and hated it, I "get it" now and now study Shakespeare outside of class, on my own initiative.

[plusplusplusplusp]

@Strelnieks66

I also enjoyed it, but I couldn't claim to appreciate Shakespeare on an intellectual level

[mhatlie]

@plusplusplusplusp

I don't yet entirely either, but more and more. You have to really dig into it. Pick a play you like and then pick it apart. Get a commentated version like the Arden or New Cambridge edition and read the introduction and footnotes. Get a book on how to read plays (like Wallis and Shepherd). Read about Elizabethan theater and the differences to plays today, etc. As you do, more and more lights go on - and you get more and more used to Shakespeare's language.

[fanylurocks]

@plusplusplusplusp

Actually, for History but also English!

[Rico8458]

caesar was like bill clinton, entitlement programs for the poor.

[Caracalla23]

@Rico8458 Have you been out with a gun in Tuscon recently Rico.

[mrbqstvy]

I'm sorry Philistines, but this performance of Mark Antony by Keith Michell is THE BEST EVER in film and TV history!!! Blows away Brando, Purefoy, Burton and Heston!!! Beyond the shadow of a doubt!!! He handles the verse the best with clarity of thought, intension and word and he does it with such ease as if the words were his!!

[goldeninja]

i pause for a reply... (i'll wait for your terrible acting to end then i'll start talking again

[SayaFight]

It's the Ides of March!!

[MandaPaigee08]

LOL

[spacecowboy95]

Gotta say, the acting sucks.

[ToxicRevenger90]

Next Wednesday 24/02/2010 is going to my play on this act & I'll be Marc Anthony. Lets see if this works for my dialogs

[therockcantstop]

[zambia1995]

[renmeister1]

..l..

[BritishArrow]

HonoUrable.

William Shakespeare was English.

[Lytton333]

Suit the action to the word old boy..

[hardluckhippie]

So the key to acting just yelling everything

[DARKREGIS]

Eh WRONG!

[westhog]

you gotta yell cause there are no mics - at least when it was written there wasn't and in present times they try to keep it legit.

by the way the artsy term for yelling is "projection"

[seriousgirl12]

kainis tong comment na to -.-

[6Ed6]

MWA HAHA HAHA HAH AHA HA HA HA HAHAH HA

[Bestmanme08]

Charlton Heston appeared in two fine film versions of Julius Caesar. Read about his great films's making in the excellent new bio (Charlton Heston: An Incredible Life: Revised Edition)! This bio is for sale at amazon!

[Crackerdamus101]

lol. i just did this speech for english, i recorded it and posted it today.

[joyusachoobarb]

*Last comment was an accident. In response to something else.

I don't like the soliloquy as a voice-over. I know that film is a different medium to theatre, so technically a monologue such as this being spoken out loud is unnecessary - but clearly it doesn't really work.

[bookkeeper57]

Keith Mitchell enough of an actor to deliver the whole soliloquy: but they didn't allow it. See Brando in the 1953 film for a better

rendition of this speech.

[TheImpossibleMan]

this is really over the top, Brutus would never give this speech with his hands drenched in blood....

[VandalDGAF]

retard, thats how Shakespeare wrote it... So that all the people that killed Caesar had blood on their hands to prove it.

[eddie2593]

i cant believe im watching this....

[Caturdayz]

You can't believe you are watching some of the greatest monologues ever written?

[jozita]

dogs of war began bitch ..

death brutus n dem backstabbers

hail ceasar =')

[jjasmine0216]

i had to say antony's

[LuvBytesNBruises]

LOL!

[dewamegi]

nAAAA YOU MADE IT UP... NOBODY CANT TELL IT.. ITS IN A JONG SHOT

[orchote]

you can see caesar breathing.

[BrechtianSchnauzer]

yeah, its pretty obvious :P oh well, maybe he's not dead yet

[kgiflcgv]

what paRts Of The OraTIon he sAiD the BRUTUs ORatION??

[bonecaamericana]

Brutus was an ass. I have to say, no author that is alive will ever be considered a 'classic'. Sadly our generation has produced no thing that future generations will look upon as beautiful as this is.

[beatle96]

lol 57 ummmm akward much?

[joyusachoobarb]

Ha ha ha!

[tennispro254]

this is great

[jhairajanuary]

i had to say dis for lit class

[missymora92]

i have to do marc antony funeral speech tommorrow and this really helped

[USMCBrendon]

[Brutus] rocks

[mr153]

nice, but i think you should also upload the speech in one part alone. Its a hassle to wait for it to load and wait for one, then the other.

[MugsMcClain]

6:08, the guy in purple. "No! No!"

[tbabb33]

thanks for this video because I needed to make a speech from Julius Caesar. This video helped me understand which tone of voice I need to use. Thanks
