I found this movie to be very entertaining and interesting. Most of the time it is entertaining to see the actors performing in different roles. There are a few times when the actors don't seem to be acting but rather they seem to be reading a script from the script, and that kind of makes it more interesting. It seems like a lot of different characters are in the movie but it makes it interesting to see what happens to them, it's kind of like watching a movie all by itself, without having to watch a movie to learn about the characters. The same can be said for the film as a whole. The movie is divided into three parts, one being a Shakespeare play, one being Julius Caesar's assassination, and one being a modern day version of the assassination, and it's interesting to see which one of the three it is. There are some parts that are incredibly exciting to watch, and if you haven't seen this movie yet, I would highly recommend it. The characters and story are all interesting and entertaining to watch. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys movies that are based on a play or a play with historical content, and to anyone who enjoys movies that are based on a play, or any kind of historical content.

There is a certain innocence that comes from being a child and being brought up in a world that is self-aware and fully aware of the world we live in. Julian Fellowes is great at this, from the way he chooses to portray his young protagonists to the subtle ways he brings out the text from the movie's body. I also really like the way he does it with a double-sided camera, framing a scene that is moving in one direction, but looking at it from the opposite angle. And a great practical problem in a lot of these movies is a wrong-side-of-camera effect that would create more confusion than anything else, but with the double-sided footage of this film, there is no confusion and you actually understand what's happening. It just really helped the film, and it made the audience care about the characters in the film. I really like the way he chooses to show Caesar's madness. It's one of the key things that makes the film so compelling. It's very well done, and the way he brings out the madness in Caesar, is so strong. I think this is just an excellent film, and is one that's worth watching, but if you don't like movies that show how crazy and scary people really are, don't see this one.

I really liked this historical film. The actors all gave decent performances, although I felt Julianne Moore's performance was not as good as her performance in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Nonetheless, I was very impressed with Moore's performance. However, I found the rest of the cast to be decent too. Although I did not like Emily Blunt's performance, I thought her role was the best I have seen her in in a while. I thought the film had a good story and was great to watch. The only negative I have is that I found some of the music to be a little annoying. For example, the music for the dinner scene was really really annoying. I thought that music in general could have been a little bit less annoying. Other than that, I really liked the film. I give it an 8/10.

To watch Julius Caesar live is like being transported into the Roman Empire. There's nothing like the spectacle of a large screen in a cavernous auditorium. To say that Roman audiences didn't have the space to follow Caesar's speeches is to ignore their world. What I found most interesting about Julius Caesar was how it managed to capture the imagination of the audience. We're treated to a real look at Rome in the wake of the empire's decline. We're introduced to the various emperors, the military leadership, and the ailing Emperor Claudius. It's almost as if we're watching this through a medieval lens. The set pieces are so real that we could actually feel like we were there. The fights between Caesar and the senators, the violence and the endless lines of spectators, it's all just a wonderful performance. The film manages to be both dramatic and entertaining. It was interesting to see how the Roman people lived their lives and to hear what they had to say about Caesar. There's a certain humour to the film. Caesar's speeches often have to do with animals. The action and the violence have a real impact. It's one of those rare films that people will watch and enjoy the dialogue and the spectacle of a live performance.

This is the best film I've ever seen. Although it is not a movie, its a film as it is. The acting, the direction, the lighting, the score, everything is so well done. Everyone who saw this deserves an Oscar. There are a lot of stereotypes to be seen and some are very powerful, but it is one of the best films that I've ever seen. This is not for the weak-stomached.

I have to say that I enjoyed the film more than the other two live re-enactments. As I said, the staging was terrific but the actors also do their best with the material. I guess we really need more live re-enactments of the stuff Caesar actually said, because I do not think Shakespeare ever actually spoke it in his play. I agree that some of the roles for the female roles were a bit thin, but it is always hard to make the bad guys good. I also felt that some of the sets were not all that impressive. But those things were easily overlooked by the performance of the main characters. But anyway, I was not at all disappointed. It was good enough, and it is a good thing that live re-enactments are made and taken seriously. We are talking about real actors here, not a comedian, not some dramatic role. And, hey, it is a good thing too, because live re-enactments of Shakespeare will never live up to the greatness of the play itself.

I just got done watching this movie. And I can say that it's a great introduction for Roman History. It should be obvious that the story of Caesar is not about him but the times in which he lived. This movie does a good job to explain everything that I thought before. The movie is totally gripping and I would say that it's a very accurate movie to follow the life of a legendary figure of the Roman Empire.

This was a good television version of Julius Caesar, which is one of my favourite Shakespearean plays, but the audience seemed to be booing loudly at the end of it. I was struck by the amateurish acting by the actors and the way the audience at the end seemed to be cheering. The actors appear to be trying to be serious throughout the play and the audience seem to be hoping that they are serious, yet they are more real. The other thing is that the audience seem to be rooting for the villains, and I think this was wrong, because it seems that the audience were cheering for the good guys, and not at the end. Overall a good TV version, but I would have liked the ending to be more intense.

This is a great movie. I'm very glad I watched it and am looking forward to seeing it again. Everyone, especially those who care about their history, should watch this film. It's quite interesting and it tells the story of Julius Caesar in a very professional way. I'm quite surprised at the low rating of this movie. I think it should be higher than 5. I was quite moved by this movie, as well as by the music, which is absolutely breathtaking. I haven't seen the actual play, but I can't wait to see the movie version. This is an important film, and it's very well done.

In the mid-19th century, William Shakespeare began to write plays in verse and drama. In his second play, Julius Caesar, he created a deep, poetic and meaningful play that became an international success. This made Shakespeare a celebrity in England, but he was also attacked by his detractors as being a fraudulent genius. To counter this criticism, Shakespeare wrote his work in the style of John Milton, with sections written in prose, as opposed to verse. This change caused problems for him, and he was forced to re-write some of his work, which he had to republish in a more modern style. Shakespeare then spent the rest of his life trying to make up for what he had lost, including his reputation. This new adaptation of the play was completed in the early 1900s. It was later put on stage in the 1940s. The new play had an attempt to tell the story of a man who is a great lover, but he is very arrogant and selfish, and he acts for what he wants to see, which leads to his downfall. But he can't help that he was also a great lover, and loves women very much, even though he did not have any. In the play, Shakespeare wrote a kind of historical romance between the character of Cleopatra, played by Eva Green, and the character of Romeo, played by Richard Burton. This play was based on the popular novel, The Merchant of Venice, by the German writer Friedrich Schiller, and was originally published in 1797. The play was made into a film in 1936, based on the stage play. The new play was often referred to as a "clash of cultures" play because of the differences between its style and Shakespeare's. There were many Chinese and Japanese influences in the movie adaptation, as well as African influences in the play. At the end of the film, it is revealed that Leonardo DiCaprio did a very good job as the "puppeteer" of the play. However, the film was also not very good. The first problem is that some of the lines, such as "and the waves, ah," were changed from the stage play to the film. In the original stage version, the line, "and the waves, ah" had been written as "And the waves ah," and Shakespeare said that Shakespearean actors needed to use a certain amount of wit in their plays, and the lines had to be different. However, he had stated that no great Shakespearean actor, such as Charles Dance or Sir Laurence Olivier, had the ability to take Shakespeare's words and make them into plays. So, in the film, the line was changed to, "and the waves, ah." The second problem is that in the movie, the Greek actor, Jason Isaacs, was not in good enough shape to play the part of Cleopatra. When the play was made into a movie in 1936, the casting director wanted to use a character that was a more "physical" actor, such as Samuel Fuller or Martin Sheen, but the actors themselves didn't want to use someone like Isaacs, who could not properly hold the role of Cleopatra. On top of these problems, Shakespeare's original plays were never translated into movies. Some of the original plays have not been translated into movies, such as Rabelais's "Pisani-Kouchakou," and some of the plays that Shakespeare himself wrote, such as Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet. In the film version of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Hamlet, the hero of the play, is played by Danny Huston. In the film version of "Romeo and Juliet," Juliet, the heroine of the play, is played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Shakespeare also wrote "A Midsummer Night's Dream," a play that is only known to most Shakespeare scholars, and so there are many people who have never seen the original play, and thus don't know the original version of the play. For this reason, in the original play, there are many references to the play, such as the poem "O Thello" in which Hamlet quotes the lines of the play, and there is a play titled "To Be Continued with the Play of Romeo and Juliet." This show is also known as "To Be Continued with the Shakespeare version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet." The show also has a guest star, William Hurt, who

I loved the show. The show is for people who grew up with the show. If you don't know what the show is about, the show is about a lifetime of loyalty and family. It has great music and beautiful performances. I recommend this show to people who love the show and people who grew up with the show.

This is an important, entertaining, and certainly funny movie. The acting is top-notch, and the movie does a wonderful job of putting you in the times of Caesar's time. There are some great battles and scenes, but nothing can beat the ending. It is extremely poignant and thought-provoking. It's great to see Bill Murray actually having a lot of fun, and having the audience join in. It's great to see just about any movie star, actor or actress playing Caesar. The cast is pretty well-known, but I still felt like they were great. The film is not for everyone. It's kind of intense, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. I was thoroughly entertained and thoroughly entertained.

This is a fascinating and engrossing presentation of the opening years of Julius Caesar's life. It's a gentle exploration of the small details in Caesar's life, how he became famous, how he met Caesar, his relationship with Caesar, his relationship with his lover, how he eventually committed suicide, and the changes that took place in Caesar's life over the course of the next few years. Not a lot of information is offered about Augustus, but the video does a fine job of showing how his personal relationship with Caesar is portrayed. The acting is great, the visuals are great, and the production design is amazing. There's a lot of great shots of Rome and the surrounding areas. The only thing I don't like about this video is that there's no video of the infamous "cleansing of the Rome" which is the climax of the film. This is kind of a departure from the history of Julius Caesar, but it works well. You don't have to be a history buff to enjoy this film, but it is definitely recommended.

This is a riveting account of the life of Julius Caesar and the part he played in Rome in the days leading up to the first Roman conquest of Britain. In the process of doing this documentary, the film makers not only capture a great deal of information about the Roman and British people but also talk with historians and the people who lived in the period they are portraying. This is a great documentary for people who like to know more about the Romans and this film is great for history buffs. This is a great documentary for anyone who likes to learn about the Romans and this film is great for anyone who likes to learn about the Romans.

This is a great example of the double standard in the political 'stage' and the 'road' in public media. In a great theatre production such as this, we see two of the most important characters of history portrayed by all of the greatest actors in the world. Not just those at the helm of the play, but those behind the scenes working to bring this production to life, with actors of all skill levels. From the director, playwright, and director of the opera who all have their hands in the overall making of the play. It's a great day for artistic brilliance and greatness of expression. Unfortunately, as with most plays, it is not always achieved in the same way for everyone. For me it's a lesson in how to be a better actor and a better director, in the hopes that this one day will get to be a definitive stage production in theatre. Great, great theatre, great, great to watch and great, great, great to listen to.

This is the best live production of Julius Caesar I have ever seen. It's got so much substance to it. You feel that you are there, inside the theatre. You feel that the actors are really there. You feel the love that each person has for Caesar and the scenes with him in his own home. You feel the emotion when Caesar dies. You feel the pain when Caesar dies. You feel the anger when Caesar dies. It's all there. But it's also very funny, very funny in a way that I would never expect from a play. It's a funny, wacky, brilliant, thought-provoking, moving and moving piece of theatre, all in one. But what makes it work is the incredible performances. I was stunned by the performances of both Orlando Bloom and Tim Roth. Both had tremendous potential in their performances. Tim Roth is a stand out in the play, and he takes it to another level. I wouldn't have expected it from a Shakespearean play, but he is right on target. Orlando Bloom is amazing, I mean he has to be, as good as Orlando Bloom is. As good as he is, he is an Oscar worthy performance. If you haven't seen this, see it. You won't be disappointed. I guarantee.

Very good rendition of Julius Caesar from Australia. I really enjoyed it, the music was excellent, the acting was good and the setting was very beautiful. The scenery was beautiful as well, although it is hard to watch it with your eyes closed, but I am sure it is very different than the real thing.

I just got back from watching "Julius Caesar" on the big screen and loved it. I have been a big fan of Shakespeare for a long time, and I was thrilled to see the play on the big screen. The writing is very intense, and the actors are superb in their roles. The music by Michael Nyman is very interesting and always an interesting choice. It just fits so well. The direction is very effective, as well. I was impressed with how every part of the play fits together, and is good. The film is very well done. It just kept me glued to my seat. It will not be a perfect adaptation, but it was very well done. I would recommend it to anyone, as a great film.

Mark Strong directs this gripping story of Caesar's rise to power. Strong gives us a brutal and compelling portrait of the Roman leader. It's a dark tale with strong moral undertones. It's a dramatic film about the past, an epoch long past, that is brilliantly acted. The film covers the entire range of Caesar's rise and fall from the empire to the tyranny of Augustus. And it's still raw when it comes to emotion. Strong will be applauded for giving us a much more compelling story. The production design is excellent, the photography is great, and the score is incredible. The performances are brilliant, and Mark Strong deserves credit for getting this film to the screen. He's still a good director, even if he's no longer a great one. Strong's most memorable film is probably 'The Beautiful Ones' (2004) with Sean Penn, and that is even more fitting of his filmography. There are many aspects of this film that are impressive. It's a character study that keeps you interested. The depiction of a political leader is very dramatic. The relationship between Caesar and Marcus Aurelius is a near-love story. It's a very powerful and sad film. Strong is still good at making films that are very powerful. This is the film that brought him to the top.

A very good history lesson, some new information about the Julius Caesar' life and how he was enthroned, the brilliance of Stellan Skarsgard, some of the things that the Rome did, the things that we think did, but didn't know what the Romans did or didn't do, and also the time in which he was enthroned, his years of prosperity, his years of weakness, his years of rebellion, his years of army against the Romans.I could go on and on and on, and i wont, because this is just a terrific movie. I would recommend it to anyone, it is simply great. Also, the actor who plays Julius Caesar, not only that, but the whole cast, the whole production, the photography, the costumes and the make up, are all really great. So if you like history, and you have not seen this movie, i suggest you do so immediately, because this is a really good movie. I give it a 9/10. 9/10 is just a classic. What i really liked about this movie was, is the photography, the costumes, the production, the actors, the feel of the movie. It was just great. In conclusion, i really enjoyed the movie and i would recommend it to anyone who likes good movies, and what this movie is about. It is a great movie, and i give it an 8/10.

I loved this film, as I love the actors, and as I said, it had a lot of real life moments. I also loved how they made us feel like we were part of the story, not just watching the story unfold. The only bad thing I can say about this movie is that it does drag a bit at times. But that's just my opinion. In all honesty, this is one of the best movies I have ever seen, and I think everyone should see it.
