Rome - The murder of Julius Caesar

RE-UPLOADED AFTER ACCOUNT DELETION

Some scenes put together showing the death of Gaius Julius Caesar. I cut out the scenes of Atia and Servilia and of Lucius and Niobe.

That quote was actually in Shakespeare. There is no historical evidence of Caesar confronting Brutus while he is being killed.

But that doesn't change the fact that it's awesome ;)

Edmure Tully murdering Mance Rayder... I didn't see that coming :D

Many of the details are inaccurate (and they had to be since it was a show and those details often had to be changed simply for the sake of simplicity), but the show is quite accurate overall in that it gives you a good general idea of how things were at the time.

I agree with you in that I'm glad they didn't add the quote for accuracy (like you said), but also the acting was so good the line didn't need to be included since you could see it in the actors faces.

Yes and I like the fact that they didn't add it, for historical accuracy. Then again, the film tramples on historical accuracy in many other places.

no, it's from suetonius, and shakespeare took it from him. but, probably he didn't say anything

[TheZekk34]

Yep, the actual quote Suetonius claims others believe is "kai su, teknon?" which is Greek, not Latin like Shakespeare's "et tu, Brute?" Both Plutarch and Suetonius agree that Caesar earlier exclaimed "ista quidem vis est!" (why, this is violence!) when Lucius Tillius Cimber grabbed him by the tunic and Plutarch further states that he yelled "Casca, you villain, what are you doing?" when Publius Servilius Casca struck the first blow. His last words depend on which source you trust more, I guess.
