Dogs of War speech from Julius Caesar

Back


A peak moment in a play / film full of peak moments. Historically, this clip is in between the two Cleopatra clips I've posted. Marc Antony, in that movie, played by Richard Burton, is played here by Marlon Brando. Brando is parodied everywhere for his bloated later years, but his electrifying delivery of these timeless lines should be the talent that he is remembered for. John Gielgud, James Mason, Greer Garson and Deborah Kerr round out the cast in this must-see 1953 classic, winner of 4 oscars. In this scene, Caesar has just been murdered by the Roman Senators, because he was claiming too much power for himself and defying the tenets of the Republic [sound familiar?]. Antony's private thoughts are shown to us here - the following scene has the famous "friends, Romans, countrymen" speech.
