- James Corrigan gives Mark Antony's 'Friends, Romans, Countrymen' speech from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

This is so great. I love how a solo read can change the tone and delivery and make it more intense, but in an actual performance with a cast it changes again. It just shows the power of Shakespeare’a words.
This was an excellent production. I saw it on stage at Stratford. The actors playing Brutus and Cassius were very good indeed.
great scene. I used this snippet to help perform the 'Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears' poem to my school.
Beware; this seemed parody to me. Is it like that the body of Rome should turn to that mealy mouthed fop? Nay; the world wont turn until we say the magic Word.
"Brutus is honorable man "
Fantastic intonation and verbal posturing.
This was an excellent production. I saw it ,. The actors playing Brutus and Cassius were very good indeed.
Take a shot everytime he says Ambitious/Ambition.
I really get the impression that he doesn't understand the speech fully. He seems very genuine when he says "Brutus is an honourable man", and doesn't do anything with the irony and sarcasm of the speech. Possibly a fault of the director however.
He's speaking to a crowd that is convinced Brutus was right in his actions, the only way to get them on his side is to appeal to their convictions. Those "Brutus is an honourable man " moments do not have to be sarcastic, he does not mean them but is instead pretending to mean them to draw in the crowd and later he will change their minds upon unveiling Caesar's will.
The first "And Brutus is an honourable man" must sound sincere, or the mob would have lynched Anthony. The second and third may still sound sincere, but the power of repetition in this case does not persuade but dissuade. By the fifth "honourable men" the crowd is ready to hate Brutus. No sarcasm needed. It's all in the words.
watch again
A great deal of varying tone like this really makes this speech work.
hahahaa
Wow, people are quick to condemn. I like hearing a wide variety of interpretations and if every one were the same, we should just watch movies. The whole point of Antony is that he doesn't need to drip with sarcasm....he's built in the switcheroo into what he's saying and they go right along with it.
In any case, it's early in the speech, so over-the-top sarcasm is wrong.
0:30 👍🏽crowd sound
i agree
You'll bear me a bang for that!
It helps me a lot to perform this in my school .Thank you
I am, and as usual, impressed!
Such an emotionless mark Antony😉
You didn't said' bear with me my heart is in coffin their with ceaser and i must pause till it come back to me' and you didn't write it also
This actor sounds like a primary school teacher, not a Roman military general
Oh yeah? Were you there?
In Rome?
Only hear for ELA :)
Good
..
How nicely you flow with our desire.
Cruetly suits you well.
Venus becomes the cupbearer tonight
Whoever drinks that red wine
Grows and attains his desires,
Reaches pleasure.

yikes. why does this remind me of the The Life of Brian ? This a very strange interpretation indeed.
You needs some emotion and better practice
Agreed. So much pointing with the hand and fingers hahahahah but at least the lines are remembered and the dressings are good
After watching Brando's version and the 2012 RSC production, this was quite underwhelming
Not a fan. There's no sarcasm when he keeps saying Brutus in honourable, he doesn't really pause enough, and he's trying to act too hard instead of just being sad.
Nobody asked
The 2012 version was wayyy better!!!
Rohit Srinivasan I agree!
bad... take a high school drama club and it will act this better.
Ruins it. For example the delivery of "He hath brought many captives home..." is very strange. Fails to do anything with the sarcastic "honourable man" asides. No vigour, no grief, no building power.
Agree with that
im assuming you can do better
Mya Montague Maybe he can. He never implied that though, so your point's invalid.
He doesn't need to be sarcastic when addressing Brutus as honourable. If he says it with sincerity and then juxtaposes this characterisation with examples of how Brutus' actions were dishonourable and false, then the crowd can come to their own conclusions. He doesn't need to hand hold the crowd by being sarcastic, nor should he because if Brutus catches on his intentions before the crowd do, then Anthony will be killed for it. Anthony must rely on his messaging being strong enough without the need to emphasize the hypocrisies of Brutus.
Acted like a high school play
Very ell acted
What is this? A school theater?
Christ he is just awful. It's like he didn't even know Ceaser.
It's the ''I have no idea what I'm saying so I'll just randomly SHOUT! then speak soft... and then FAST!.... then .....slooowww'' school of British Shakespeare acting. Sadly all too common and gets a lot of praise.
Antony is just trying to make it over dramatic so that the Plebeians have more of a reaction. Honestly, it is a hard speech to deliver.
@@vindolanda6974 you're right. but why does it get a lot of praise?
curry ahmed Channel Because people don't know what a proper delivery of the monologue is. Also it's a monologue, not just a speech.
Not great
terrible
Good for you; this is why we don't have the Peter O'Tooles or the Paul Scofields anymore; because there are people like you in the audience...
Ben, I can only be responsible for what I say, not for what you understand of it. Good day...
Like I said, I cannot be responsible for your understanding. I saw the production and it was unimpressive; the acting by this lead is quasi-amatorial in its gestures and delivery. The critics, you say? They are part of the problem; those who can't do teach, as the saying goes.Again, that is why theatre (and music, and culture in general) is going down the drain. Drop this now, already. Good day.
The RSC is a joke. This is embarrassing
boring
bad.....
