Caesar's great ambition ultimately lead to his own murder by members of the Roman Senate who fear his ascendency, but ironically bring about the rise of the Empire. There are many political complexities that are touched upon in this film that give a good idea of the kinds of power plays that lead to Caesear's rise and fall, many of them including betrayal and murder. The film depicts the Gallic Wars in good detail and gives an understanding of the turmoil that faced the Roman Republic in its last years before the rise of the Empire. Caesar is portrayed as a intelligent human figure who is struck down by tragedy and overcome with amibition which ultimately leads to his own death. The irony of Caesar's murder is that it was ostensibly to preserve the Republic, but rather hastened the foundation of the Empire. While not a great movie, it is entertaining and provides a good introduction to Roman history as well. 521 8 Not rated. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Shakespeare, William,|d1564-1616|vFilm adaptations. 600 10 Caesar, Julius|xAssassination|vDrama. 650 0 Emperors|zRome|vBiography|vDrama. 650 0 Feature films|zUnited States. 655 7 Historical films.|2gsafd 655 7 Video recordings for the hearing impaired.|2lcgft 700 1 Snell, Peter,|d1941- 700 1 Burge, Stuart. 700 1 Heston, Charlton. 700 1 Robards, Jason. 700 1 Gielgud, John,|d1904-2000. 700 1 Johnson, Richard,|d1927-2015. 700 1 Vaughn, Robert,|d1932-2016. 700 1 Chamberlain, Richard,|d1935- 700 1 Rigg, Diana. 700 1 Lee, Christopher,|d1922-2015. 700 1 Bennett, Jill,|d1930-1990. 700 1 Furnival, Robert. 700 1 Shakespeare, William,|d1564-1616.|tJulius Caesar. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11324550|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ edu_754309013857_180.jpeg
