Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look there.

Trust me, Obi-Wan was the least remarkable of his performances.

Nothing happens to man man he is not fitted by nature to bear

Guinness's best role was, "Bridge on the River Kwai." My vast opinion. :) I've seen a number of his films but never this one. It does seem what I call, canned. I had forgotten the actor who plays the general but he was in all kinds of movies back in the day. I remember him because of his wrinkles and always thought he wasn't that handsome because of them. Hollywood disagreed! lol

@edwardszzz nero never had blonde hair same with caligula ! really what kind of nazi are you!
-
@GaiusIuliusTaberna american bristish its all shit but i guess im with you atleast rome is on the films
-
@histatimaniples Its an American film... I'm just pleased it doesn't show Italian stereotypes eating Christians... nice to see romans portrayed in a positive light once and a while... even if its qualified...
-
@edwardszzz Um... no... they were latins, Both Caligula and Nero were of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, they were from some of the oldest families in Rome dating back to its founding, in Latium, by the latins.
What kind of a Nazi are you supposed to be?
-
@histatimaniples:- The emperor Nero had blonde hair and Caligula had red hair. They were not Latins.

Marcus Aurelius was a lenient ruler,famous for his meditation,he saw Christians as enemies of the roman empire.
-
funny how he hated playing obi-wan in star wars. It's the only role I've seen him in but I can understand how he would feel about the crazy fan base.

It is.
I like very much his performance as Marcus Aurelius, but Guinness never liked this film.

In his autobiography, Blessing in Disguise, he said that he watched no more than 20 minutes of the film, he never liked the screenplay. Is not a bad film, specially know, when is very easy watch bad films, but is a comercial film, acomercial film of the 60's.

I find the screenplay very good. It has, of course, many historical goofs, although far less than "Gladiator", which is a plagiarized version of this movie.
