Historically famous movies have a few things in common, the most important of which is that they set up a plot and follow it. Movies such as the godfather and 12 angry men keep the plot interesting and constantly turning but never lose the audience, this allows for clear storytelling to happen. In the case of Hail, Caesar! The directors and story tellers do not keep the audience reeled in, but they leave the audience with no closure. They give no closure without a cliffhanger, the Coen Brothers cut one branch of the story off and go off into a completely different area of the story, never returning to characters in previous scenes. Although the storytelling and pacing was off, the movie did have some positive aspects. Hail, Caesar! boasted
Friends, Romans, countrymen, as educated as you all are, I’ll get straight to the point so as not to waste your valuable time. Rome is in dire need of a qualified, respectable leader. It has been a long time since the Roman people had the commander that they deserve. I am the ruler that Rome needs, and deserves.
Hi Anju, thank you so much for your comment I appreciate the time you took and read it. I think you are absolutely right about the the power being distributed into numerous subsections, thus resulting into a form of democracy. I thought it was very cruel of the politicans to treat the soldiers in that manner. I really feel like something should have been done right away about the situation in order to prevent any further prejudice. For example, the Roman elites should have stood up and fought for the soldier's right, since they were sacrificing their life, familes and time to go fight for Rome's protection. Chritiany made a great impact on the Roman Empire. I feel like the transition into Christianity helped made their life much better and
In Act three scene two, a messenger wakes Lord Hastings with news that Lord Stanley had a dream where a boar attacked him and is begging them to escape in the night. Since Richard’s heraldic symbol is a boar, Stanley assumes that Richard is the one that is going to attack him and then Lord Hastings. In Martin’s text, King Robert gets attacked by a boar, which could be seen through the help of the Lannisters. Do you think that Martin got the idea of the boar from Richard III? Do you think that a boar could have a more symbolic meaning especially associated with death or attacks?
“I love the name of honor, more than I fear death,” a quote said by one of the most famous Roman leaders named Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar was born in July 100 BC and he died on March 15, 44B.C. Caesar was a general, politician, and a dictator. Caesar was loved by many people for guiding them and providing safety for them, but he was also hated by a countless number of people. That hate ended up in him being murdered. He gave Rome hope for a better future and a promise of new land, jobs, and wealth. Caesar accomplished many things for his country like win many victories, developed the Julian calendar, and redistributed land to the poor. He used many different tactics and strategies to win his wars. Through brilliant military tactics, Julius Caesar, ruler of Rome from 49 B.C. to 44 B.C., guided the people of Italy and Rome to achieve many victories, allowing him to become a powerful ruler, hero, and inspiration and leaving a legacy that still shapes the world today.
“Veni, vidi, vici” (I came, I saw, I conquered) (Source1). This Julius Caesar quote can be used to describe his rise to power in the Roman Republic and destruction of it in the process. Caesar was an extremely influential, yet controversial figure in Rome’s history. He had all the power any Roman could dream of but he abused it. Julius Caesar was a destroyer of the Roman Republic because his arrogance made the government benefit only him, his ruthlessness endangered others, and he undermined the authority of the Roman Senate.
Julius Caesar was allegedly a descent from prince Aeneas. Julius caesar was also born on july 100 B. C. It marked the start of a new era in roman history. At the age of 31, Caesar had fought in many wars and become acquainted in roman politics. Caesar had also lived in a bad part of rome when he was growing up . During the time rome at that point was unstable. An element disorder ruled over the republic., which throw out its nobility and seemed unable to handle the increasing size and influence of the romans. At the age of 16 his father died, Gaius Caesar. Caesar had remained close to his mother after that. After his father had died Caesar made an effort to side with country nobility. He married the daughter a noble, Cornelia. Caesar
More leaders should aspire to be like Julius Caesar, the Divine Julius. Despite his imperfections and early misfortunes, he went from not having much to being the best Dictator in Rome’s history. First, we will explore his life’s experiences then analyze the skills which made him a great leader. Ultimately, we will review the events which led to his death.
Rome started out as a Republic, but then changed to a dictatorship all because of a guy named Julius Caesar. Emperors continued to follow behind him. The Romans were polytheistic, so when this new religion came along called Christianity, Roman Emperors got frustrated that these new people weren’t following the same religion. The Emperor ordered that these people should be killed. The Christians didn’t resist, which brought in more followers. The military was made up of all Romans, but they were more loyal to their commanders than the Emperor. Christianity then became the only religion in the Roman Empire. I believe that Christianity and the military lead to the fall of the Roman Empire.
Every since the day Lucius Junius Brutus had helped overthrow the tyrannical king known as Tarquin the Proud, Roam has been a republic based on the principle that no one man should not hold to much power. For nearly 5 centuries this rule has been upheld. However, now this principal is threatened. Julius Caesar rise to power had been dramatic. After defeating his rival Pompey the great in a civil war his power was at its peak. Due to this events, he got the title Dictator Perpetuo which meant king. However, some of the Senators were not too happy about this because they feared a return to the monarchy they're predecessors worked so hard to abolish, which meant that the power and influence they held could be impeded by Caesar’s rule. For years,
“Experience is the teacher of all things,” told Caesar in his Commentarii de Bello Civili whom knew a lot about experience himself whereas he was skilled enough to capture the heart of Rome. From what he learned he brought and shared and charmed the majority of Rome who praised him for his many attributions; Charisma, courage, stamina, reliability, and most definitely his elocution. A great example could be made when he had been held for ransom by pirates that didn't (and regrettably) believe Caesar (who even told them he would) would be back for revenge (must have been his charm). According to various sources, Julius Caesar was known for being an intellectual and formidable leader.
Born on the 13th of July, 100 B.C, In the great city of Rome, Julius Caesar was born into a noble family and grew up to be very well educated. Julius' name descents from lulus , said to be the son of Venus.At the age of sixteen, Caesars father passes leaving no Caesar alone in life. He quickly grasps onto the fact that the road ahead of him will certainly be a struggle. What he doesn't know is his destiny is also filled with greatness and success both politically, socially, and military wise.
Death Alone is Never Enough. Appreciation comes with the price of death. Antony proclaims in his speech, “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interrèd with their bones.” Act III, scene ii, lines 74-75. He is saying, all the evil that men do are remembered after their deaths, but the good is often buried with them.
Who does not love a great hero who saves the day? Caesar was a hero; he did many great things for the people for Rome. Caesar conquered land and helped the lower class; he used his power for good.
Julius Caesar assignation seemed a bit cruel even for today’s day an age. Now what was the reasoning behind the killing? Did people view him as a model politician or a selfish dictator? After reading three excerpts I found that these account were leaning more on the side of Caesar being a selfish dictator rather than a model politician, for the simple fact that the way the events were described leading up to the assignation as being horrible for Rome.
With the smell of freshly popped popcorn and a gentle hum of excitement in the air, I quietly slipped into my college-budget appropriate seat just two rows from the stage with moments to spare. This would be the second play that I had ever attended at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and once again I had selected a work by the man they named the festival after: Shakespeare. However, instead of the romance of The Tempest, I would witness Shakespeare’s dramatization of the brutal events surrounding the death of Julius Caesar in the tragedy of Julius Caesar. Though this play dates back to the late 1500s and recounts events much earlier than that, the director along with the cast and others involved in production have put their own unique spin on the play that forces the audience to reflect upon the parallels of the violence of ancient Rome to the modernday violence in our own country.
