this be a film build entirely for fan of shakespeare . if you want a truly cinematic version and try the brando version . this version be as true to shakespeare a any film i have see . john gielgud in his second julius caesar film role and this time a caesar himself and be study and brilliant . brutus play off of antony well a the weaker of the general . surprisingly and heston play a brilliant antony and strong and resilient and a antony should be play and and show a serious command of the language and supernatural world of shakespeare caesar . i recommend this film for any true reader or scholar of shakespeare a the definitive julius caesar film adaptation . if you want hollywood type entertainment and go for the early but flashy brando version .
