Out of all of Shakespeare’s plays, Mark Antony’s speech has to be one of the most emotionally moving monologues ever written and to ever be recited.

[@louthegiantcookie]

And with a bit of truth to the emotion of the events. There is an account of people weeping when they saw poor Caesar's body. They truly loved the guy, and he was murdered by the same bastards he had forgiven and tried to work with. It's easy to play this off as a ploy by a cunning politician, but to me it feels raw and real, a genuine rant about a terrible injustice.

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.

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?

The way Brando reads the speech is atypical. One example is how there is no pause between, "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me you ears." That's Brando's genius.

[@woobbryant]

Absolutely, and as a result he is one of the few actors that convinces me that the crowd stops to listen to him because he actually got their attention, rather than responding to the stage directions.

[@timothymcbride5092]

Look at the preceding lines, and his is the interpretation that makes sense. They were not listening to him, and he needed them to shut up and listen. Brando redefined Shakespeare as real characters speaking real lines, not recitations.

[@woobbryant]

@@timothymcbride5092 I completely agree.

[@wegwerfacc8496]

@@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

[@BG-wp3do]

Every time I've seen any other actor do this they deliver the first three words as if it's a fireside chat and people were already listening. Brando is the only performance I've seen where it genuinely looks like he's trying to get the attention of a large crowd.

[@woobbryant]

His delivery of "ambition should be made of sterner stuff" is perfect. Just one of so many great moments from this speech.

[@romanclay1913]

Brando's mother, Dodie Pennebaker Brando, was active in community theater in Omaha. She was passionate about Shakespeare. "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."

[@romanclay1913]

Brando named his production company, PENNEBAKER PRODUCTIONS.

[@saintricardo8746]

He actually sounds like he's in a plaza. And this is probably how you talk to masses without a mic

[@Dominian1]

The people who made these films all grew up with and on theater stages. The scenes are written for a theater play and hardly edited at all. In later years the movies about Shakespeare plays became more and more cinematic, usually to their detriment. Because the stories and most characters in Shakespeare are shit. The language is made to be shouted with confidence and not to be murmured into a boom mic.

Brando is just awesome here. I see many prefer the Heston version (which is also quite incredible and moving too), but if I am to "romanticize" this speech with my bias -- Brando is #1. Mark Anthony was not an intellectual, but he was supposedly cunning, emotional, and a warrior. Brando's up and down rage during the speech, theatrical movements to sway the crowd..... these ring true for what "an Antony" may have done. Heston/Brando -- just epic

[@Rikalonius]

Heston sounded like a Shakespearean actor. Brando sounded like a Roman orator. That's the difference to me.

[@snazzle9764]

While I love Brando's performance, especially his "dogs of war" speech, I can never really see him a General. Heston's deep bass voice really evokes him as a authentic commander. 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.

Brando's performance would have worked equally well on stage and screen. His intensity of delivery here is unparalleled - Brando can unquestionably sway the crowd. Heston's performance wouldn't work as well on the stage - it was tailor-made for the intimacy of the screen, thanks to cameras and microphones playing to his strengths of vocal and facial range. I love both performances, for different reasons.

Best version of this speech. Brando sounds real. More passion and strength needed and Heston just reading his lines

[@wilmergimenez]

02:03 Brandon reading the dialogue during the scene LOL Great scene show how fickle are the opinion of the masses only need a few words from Brutus to considered Caesar a Villain and forget how much they love him, and only a few words of Mark Anthony to rebel against Brutus. Politicians always haven play people's will and moral like a damn piano

Fun to go and revisit this stuff, I never really appreciated it back in school.

[@nadeemsameh5321]

i watched this speech a lot

[@yehudisfriedman8459]

I remember studying this clip as a high school freshman. Good times 😄

I am, quite late to this party. Having watched both Brando's and Charlton Heston's versions i gotta give my vote to Brando. I've read many pro CH comments and never felt a bad or wrong point made. But for me I think its Brando's rage and voice inflections that win me over.

man, this brings back schooldays memories...we had to memorize this speech in 10th Grade English.

[@lauratheiss1332]

Wen we told the teacher we wouldn’t remember this long speech “if u can memorize the national anthem, u can memorize this!”

[@blacktoothfox677]

When the Theatre payed tribute to the true theatrics. Marc Antony's shrewdest move!

[@lairddougal3833]

A magnificent performance! I have never seen this rendered better.

[@canconservative8976]

Brilliant....this speech turned the tide...

[@Ryanbros]

have to memorize 0:00-2:12 for school wish me luck

[@lordgiacomos2551]

So the existence of a rhetorical question implies the existence of a rhetorical statement... "And Brutus is an honorable man" is a perfect example...

[@looweeyavs]

We had to recite this as a speech, and i love it sm i still memorize it

Thank God for Marlon Brando. No other actor can deliver Shakespeare the glory his writing deserves. Thank God ❤
