Interesting to compare Marlon Brando and Charlton Heston’s takes on Marc Antony in two different films versions of Julius Caesar — both American but the former being “Method” normally in his approach and the latter more Classical…

The same speech, two takes:

Great post.

Brando for the win.

I really enjoyed watching this. I did not know Heston did Julius Caesar. He’s very powerful but I think I like Brando’s better, but both are very impressive.

What a cast in that film, Robert Vaughn (I saw him in there) Christopher Lee, Diana Rigg, John Gielgud, Jason Robards, Richard Chamberlain. Wow. I’m going to have to watch that one.

I stopped everything to watch both of these. Shakespeare. What a gift to us all. We are still marveling at his words. His characters. I’m downright proud of Pacino to feel as he does. He has a real love of his art.

Made my night. Thank you.
