Julius Caesar Review (1953)
Shakespeare’s plays are an inextinguishable source of inspiration for movie-makers. His works are approached from very different stands: as transposition to other time and surroundings as “West Side Story” (1961) and “Ran” (1985); from a very personal optic as “Titus” (2000) and “Looking for Richard” (1996) or as in the present case with a classic approach.
I’ve seen this movie when I was a kid, keep a very deep impression from it and remained a Brando’s fan forever. I saw it again many times afterwards. I was always delighted by the play and the outstanding acting given by Brando, Mason and the rest of the cast.
This is one of the greatest Shakespeare’s historical tragedies. Focuses on the last days of Julius Caesar’s life, but the main characters are: Brutus, torn apart by his love to the Republic and his loyalty to Caesar and Marc Anthony, unfaltering in his love for Caesar and will to revenge his murder.
The cast (a mix of British & Americans actors and actresses) gives an overwhelming performance. First of all Brando’s Mark Anthony, especially when giving his mournful speech; words are Shakespeare’s the powerful way to cast them Marlon’s.
James Mason is equally inspired, he transmit to the audience all the storms that rage in Brutus’ soul, his moral suffering and final choice.
Only one little step below is John Gielgud’s Cassius, the “black eminence” of the conspiracy. The viewer will also enjoy Greer Garson, Deborah Kerr and Edmond O’Brian performances.
A great movie for Shakespeare lovers and general public!
