Review of Julius Caesar (1953) by Bubba M — 23 Jan 2009

Shakespeare has for a long time been a four letter word to me, but I decided to give this one a try since a documentary on brando told that he "basically destroyed" the British pros in his scenes.

Maybe, but by the time it was his turn to take the stage I was already preoccupied with post-processing some photographs on my laptop. Maybe there is something in Shakespeare that can be only appreciated by native English speakers.

I'm almost trilingual but the only greatness I noticed was that brando actually delivered his lines clearly without mumbling, maybe he truly had a prime and it was in the 1950's. Also the classic big budget B/W cinematography is always pleasant to the eye.
