Movie Reviews of Julius Caesar
Movie Review: Timeless
Summary: 5 Stars
Shakespeare's themes of politics, betrayal, murder are relevant to every time period and generation. In Julius Caesar, the bard leads us to question what defines honor. This film is amazing - particularly the performances by Marlon Brando and James Mason. Because Shakespearean plays can be challenging to read, a film (or a play) is a wonderful way to understand his works. The acting in this film was wonderful (by an all-star cast) and succeeded in bringing Caesar, Brutus, Marc Antony (and the other characters) of Caesar's Rome to life.
Summary of Julius Caesar
Film adaptation of Shakespeare's play chronicling the aftermath of Caesar's assassination at the hands of Marc Anthony, Cassius and Brutus.An examination of the relationship between political power and personal conscience, Joseph Mankiewicz's traditional Julius Caesar (1953) is a veritable master class for aspiring thespians. As the opportunistic Marc Antony, Marlon Brando delivers the famous funeral speech with pure conviction, elsewhere casting an intense physicality that recalls his work in A Streetcar Named Desire. James Mason suggests a latent Hamlet in his turn as the honorable Brutus, while John Gielgud is positively serpentine as the lean, hungry Cassius. Louis Calhern invests Caesar with intelligence and edgy noir echoes, and director Mankiewicz astutely balances the Renaissance view of Caesar as a power-obsessed, corrupt tyrant destined for punishment with modern suggestions that his murder may have been ill advised. The director's scrupulous pacing is supported in no small measure by Mikl?s R?sza's stunning score. At film's end, power itself is without a master, and the spirit of Caesar has been left unrevived: and to Mankiewicz's credit, the latter is revealed to be the true tragedy of Julius Caesar. --Kevin Mulhall
