So the Ides of March are come. Every year at this time I commemorate the spirit of Caesar by reading Julius Caesar. I find that this is one of those plays that really divides people, you either love or hate it. So for those who have read or seen it, what are your thoughts?
Aye, Ceasar, but not gone. I really like the film version. Gielgud as Cassius did indeed have a lean and hungry look, James Mason made a stunning Brutus and Brando's Marc Anthony was memorable. Funny, the chap who played Ceasar made no impression at all! Poor Louis Calhern - lol. I love the play, personally.
Love it!
One of my favourite Shakespeare plays. I was enthralled throughout.
Marc Antony's speech is excellent, something I've re-read multiple times.
I have to agree. It is my fall-back audition piece. And when comparing Antony's speech to Bruts' before it, you see how brilliant the whole thing is.Quote:

where there is a somewhat different twist on the Ides of March and the well known related quote.
It is a somewhat unusual site but totally Shakespeare based
Sorry for the double entry. I got confused when I pressed 'quote' and I got a message that the text was too short or similar.
I know that "... excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse..."
Interesting topic and a very good link to.
I will have a read myself but I was just wondering what the title actually mean I am still not clear on it.
Any ideas?
Which title?
