Julius Caesar

Just when I thought I was beginning to 'get' Shakespeare along comes a 1 out of 12 in my opinion play, that is Julius Caesar! Harsh?
One of the playwright's Roman History set plays - this one centres around the moral dilemma that Brutus has on joining the Cassius led conspiracy to murder Julius Caesar supposedly for the good of Rome. Following Caesar's death, Rome is thrust into a period of civil war, and the republic the balancing the demands of honour, friendship and Rome itself! It sounds so good written like that, but I am afraid I just didn't get it or get Brutus' struggles in the language used. I can only apologise to purists - 1 out of 12, One Star, I had little idea of what was going on - read. Please note that I read this 19 years ago.

I don’t think you and Shakespeare are going to be friends anytime soon, and I don’t blame you. :)

This was a black and white movie that stayed true to the original play. I saw it way back in the 20th century. We were all let out of high school to see it. All the girls loved it as it starred the young Marlon Brando when he was HOT!
