Review of Julius Caesar (1953) by Shayla F — 11 Oct 2007
The movie that is literally responsible for my Shakespeare and theatre obsession that has become so engrained in my life. Enough said maybe? Not even! Mason is my friggin' HERO as the poor, soft-spoken, naive M.
B., and Gielgud is a flaming-eyed Cassius who's wound up tighter than a drum. And Brando...well, in short, no less than stunning. I get shivers just about every time he screams "HAVOC!" But again.
..sorry, the true star is Jamie M. His performance is enough to break your heart over and over again. After seeing the look on his face by the middle of 1.2, I was hooked on Shakespeare forever. See this movie! It is simply a piece of pure, shining theatrical and cinematic gold!
