    I love the stealth of this speech. The assassins know that the crowd loves Mark Antony and if Mark Antony, who was a friend of Caesar, makes a speech condemning the crimes of Caesar, the assassins, and the murder itself, will find favor. Instead, Mark Antony turns the speech around, and each time he refers to the assassins as “honorable men” he is holding them up as the opposite. Here, for once, is irony not in the service of humor.

They truly loved the guy, and he was murdered by the same bastards he had forgiven and tried to work with.

Sadly, the English teachers did not realize the length of the movie. It was on film...of course. When the bell rang at the end of the day there was a stampede of students for the exits, just in the midst of Brando's famous speech. I stayed to watch the rest of the movie and was glad I did...great play and great movie. If there is ever a movie made about Donald Trump will he get the same treatment if his demise occurs?

    @@timothymcbride5092 If you look closely at the text, the phrase "friends, romans countrymen" is not chosen randomly. It's a preshadowing of the base part of his speech, where Marc Anthony tries to uncover how Brutus is in fact, not honourable. When Marc Anthony says, "Caesar was my friend, he was faithful and just to me", he says that Caesar was his friend. Therefor, friends of Marc Anthony are also Caesar's friends. When Marc Anthony says "he has brought many captives home to rome, which ransoms did the general coffers fill", he talk's about how Caesar contributed money towards the roman state, which in turn helped out the poor people in rome. This is because Caesar financed "bread and games" with state money, a technique used by him to satisfy the general populus. Same happens to be true for, "when've the poor have cried, Caesae hath wept", which means Caesar had sympathy for the poor. Most of the people listening, were Plebejans, which where in fact the lower, poor class of romans. In the next paragraph he bsaically says, "Caesar refused the kingly crown three times". This will of course be favourable among people concerbed about Caesars ambition within the Roman state, or if he was a danger to the Roman state. Now what are people called, that are concerned with the state of the Roman State are called patriots or "countrymen". Meaning: the phrase friends, romans countrymen is in fact chosen on purpose

"You haven't done anything until you've done Shakespeare" was something she had said for years. When Brando was offered Mark Antony, he took it , prepared for it with his mother's critiques and in the end, it was his gift to her. As a friend said, "He kept her inside of himself, always."

That, along with the warmth and emotion in Heston's more informal take on the speech really capturing the populist angle Antony is striving for in his performance. It felt like a rousing speech he could've given to his troops on the eve pf battle(which is more or less he was doing). I mean all things considered we have an embarrassment of riches; we got two great performances all caught on tape.

    This is the best version of this speech I have seen. And the ending, the best part, is not even here. Brando is really speaking to the crowd, not making an oration. From what I have read, Gielgud talked to him about this speech. Antony's other memorable oration, over the body in the senate, Brando does not as well as this one. And when Gielgud saw the rushes on that, he regretted not advising him for that one.

    Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest- For Brutus is an honourable man; So are they all, all honourable men- Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. He hath brought many captives home to Rome Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And, sure, he is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love him once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him? O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me.

    I definitely could, to be honest. James Purefoy's Mark Antony is perhaps the best performance of the series, and he is an incredible actor with a lot of charisma. My favourite scene in the whole show is his final scene. I could definitely see his character giving a speech like this, but obviously the writing would have to make the scene seem natural, and as it is written, there isn't a natural point for a speech like this to come up.

    I saw in interview with John Gielgud, who co-starred with Brando in this, that he was so taken by what he called Brando's "striking performance" that he offered to direct Brando as Hamlet on Broadway. Brando politely declined saying he wouldn't dare. But what high praise indeed coming from Gielgud.
