- Cry Havoc, let slip the dogs of war.
Favorite film version of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar staring Charlton Heston
www.imdb.com/t...
who also reprises his Antony role in Antony & Cleopatra www.imdb.com/t...
O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth,
That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!
Thou art the ruins of the noblest man
That ever livèd in the tide of times.
Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood!
Over thy wounds now do I prophesy-
Which, like dumb mouths, do ope their ruby lips
To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue-
A curse shall light upon the limbs of men.
Domestic fury and fierce civil strife
Shall cumber all the parts of Italy.
Blood and destruction shall be so in use,
And dreadful objects so familiar,
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quartered with the hands of war,
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds,
And Caesar’s spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice
Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war
Ommited ****That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.
"Get your filthy hands off me, you damned, dirty Romans!"
That, too, et Starguy?
It's a madhouse!
Ape not Roman😎
lol
"You maniacs! You killed him! Oh, damn you! Damn you all to Hell!"
Tremendous. Unfortunately, it loses something in the translation from the original Klingon.
Love that joke!
Awesome!!! Ha ha
Qapla'
😆
😂🤣 This came up because I was searching the ST scene.
A man who could do Shakespeare, science fiction, and comedy. Shakespeare obviously here. Soylent Green a film way before it's time and Wayne's world 2 sending up rich actors. Pure legend.
Soylent Green thought I was the only one to 1. Remembers this little nugget, and 2 equate bill Gates and gmo with the end product in the movie. Course I could be wrong 😂😂😂😂😂🏴🇨🇦
If you can watch the scene in Soylent where Heston makes it just in time to watch Edward G. Robinson self-terminate and sees how the world was before we F'd it up and not tear up, well...you are one hard SOB. And Heston wasn't seeing anything but his imagination. The beauty footage and music were added later. What a tour de force.
He couldn't do Shakespeare.
One of the Greats. Heston is one of my all time favourite actors. Though I feel Brando did it better.
When did he do comedy?
Brutus : He will understand this.
Mark Antony:
Definitely one of Americas greatest actors. I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed every single film I’ve seen him in.
Wooden.
@@2Malachi what?
@@megatron8490never mind him. Uncultured.
I never quite "got" Charlton Heston until I saw him on stage in "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial" at the Queen's Theater, London, in 1985. The man was absolutely brilliant on stage on stage. It is no wonder that some of that stagey craft shows through in his motion pictures. It is a reminder of an actor who could really deliver, misunderstood by those who never have.
Probably the best Mark Antony, of all.
I bet Marlon Brando would beg to differ
I saw him there too!
@@billstorm5889 Brando was brilliant.
What part did he play in "Caine"?
“Let slip he hogs of war” Archer.
“Whatever farm animal of war Lana!”
"BONES, WHERE IS THAT DAMN TORPEDO?"
"I'd pay real money for him to shut up."
Ah, a man of culture! 🖖😀
"That thing's gotta have a tail pipe."
@@willburke5843 "Doctor, would be interested in performing surgery on a torpedo?"
@@Isildun9 Fascinating 🤨
Wow. I always thought Brando did it best, but this reading by Heston is phenomenal! Heston nailed it, in my opinion.
I disagree. Heston gets a lot of help from the music which adds to the emotional experience. Brando and his performance makes you feel everything without using music as a crutch.
Heston's is the PG version though. Not quite Shakespeare's. Blame the producer/director for that.
Brando just yelled the lines. Heston acted.
It's an interesting contrast. Brando is all vengeful violence, and Heston is tranquil fury.
I think I prefer Brando's "Dogs of war" and Heston's "Friends, Romans, Countrymen".
Neither Shakespeare nor Heston require a musical score to convey the power of this scene. It detracts rather than contributes.
Indeed.
I agree. The music distracts from the soliloquy.
Felt the same way. The music felt awkward here. Definitely takes away from the moment.
Just, thought the same.
Shakespeare is the music. Those who don’t get that shouldn’t direct it.
Rest in peace Charlton Heston legends never die
"Mothers shall smile when they hold their infants quartered ".
OK, as long as I can do the quartering ! A quarter here, a quarter there.
Both of my favorite actors portrayed Mark Anthony. They were Charlton Heston (1950, 1971) and Marlon Brando (1953).
"...Cry Havoc; Let thlip the dogth of war."
@@markmaki4460 I wasn't aware there was a Mike Tyson version, I'll have to check that out.
@@NextExiter lolol
This man was everything a true actor should be
He dropped a line, right after "over thy wounds now do I prophesy" he should have added: "which like dumb mouths do ope their ruby lips to beg the voice and utterance of my tongue". Check out Marlon Brando's version. I think he was 26 at the time. Quite good.
Ah, you haven’t heard Shakespeare until you’ve heard it in it’s original Klingon.
ghuy'cha' :-(
taH pagh taHbe' !
I met him in Australia at a book signing he was a tall guy .
Only men could summon such words, there are movie stars and acting stars, Charlton Heston converted me to fan here. Damn the diseases of mind, heroes to be recalled through ages for cure. I hated Shakespeare in school, my own language so hard to understand, only as adult do I wonder in amazement at the bard. Thank you for posting these free.
You do know, Shakespeare wrote it not the actors, right lol
@@marsicogodofwar9280 there is even debate if someone else authored some of his works, but there is a difference between an actor and movie star.
The greatest words spouted apathetically was my experience with school Shakespeare. It sounds juvenile but I often only understand appreciate a work put on film.
I never cared for Heston before this, movie star.
You yourself write Shakespearean. 😁@@jamiejones7325
right there is an epic actor
Nice. Stellar performance and great portrayal of this piece
An absolutely tremendous actor worthy of eternal recognition
my favorite line....Damn Dirty Brutus
A FANTASTIC rendition of that solitary moment of despair and hate; Chuck HESTON really delivers here! the voice is great, the emotion is here, before the equaly formidable performance in the famous Forum scene; I am not saying Brando's version was better or worse, both are great and both are the work of two tremendous actors; those who see fit to call Heston a ham should perhaps revise their one-sided opinions....
Applause 👏 👏 , excellent, Lord Herald, Loves your potential, your portfolio is amazing. Your replacement is your real Church of England,thanks to Crazy Lord Mudfossil University Spur
This is great but you should hear it in the original Klingon!
(I didn't look through comments, somebody probably posted a similar comment before. 😔)
You've not read Shakespeare unless in the original Klingon! 😎
Crikey, that actually gave me goosebumps!
So interesting to compare Heston's version with Brando's. Two very different but equally powerful takes on a timeless classic.
"cry havoc! and let slip the hogs of war."
Heston top 5 actors all time
He's a big movie actor!!
Meaning Gable Bogart Stewart etc couldn't performan these parts
BRANDO...Did it Better....
@@lillynietz17 yes I agree!! All the Statue actors pre 1949 all lousy except James Gagney real actor,
After 1950 the best most came out of the actors studio n.y.c Brando Cliff Dean Newman Stieger McQueen Gobb, the actresses of the 30's 40' 50's were better than there male actors, Garbo Leigh Swanson Baxter
Edmond O'Brien ("DOA") and Tom Powers ("Double Indemnity") could do noir as well as Shakespeare. See the 1953 "Julius Caesar."
Great acting!
uploaded on MAR 15. nice
Whatever farm animal of war, Lana!
Omg, I love that saying.
Warrior Poet brought me to this masterpiece
Born for the role
ARCHER: Cry 'Havoc', and let slip the hogs of war.
LANA: Dogs of war.
ARCHER: Whatever farm animal of war, Lana. Shut up!
Heston did it best
He does Shakespeare well. See Kenner Branaugh's "Hamlet." He is the main player come to Elsinore.
From the thumbnail I only just noticed the resemblance actor Michael Fassbender has to him.
Does that make you wish Michael Fassbender should play Mark Antony?
From my cold, dead hands?
There is no analogue to Heston in today's Hollywood.
Take the time to see him in "Treasure Island" (1998). He was great as Long John Silver, without the caricature affectations. He was properly charming and terrible. Christian Bale plays Jack Hawkins.
For some reason he made me think of Cromwell 😅
and just like that Klingon torpedos flew at the enterprise
He missed these lines..."Which, like dumb mouths, do ope their ruby lips
To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue-"
they did a good job with Caesars hand he really looked dead.
They actually killed the actor and then defibrillated him later. Method acting...lol.
@@kentvesser9484 lol
@@kentvesser9484 lol
This film suffered terribly from its costuming. Heston looks ridiculous.
However, because its Heston, he still kills it.
Probably better in the original Klingon.
This is the superior version
Nah. Brandon.
@@daithiocinnsealach1982 *Brando
Dude had such gravitas and what a golden voice
Looks like he's wearing a window curtain ala Carol Burnett in "Went With the Wind".
Alas fair window. I knew thee well!
GREAT
"Oops, sorry, just forgot my dagger. Didn't mean to disturb you. So uh... what was that about war and carrion men?"
Marlon Brando VS Charlton Heston. Be there! (or be square)
Christopher Lambert and Thomas Jane both bear a striking resemblance.
I always got Thomas Jane confused with Aaron Eckhart
its like watching john wayne doing th bard, only this is great.
From 0 to 10, acting 11
Interesting to compare this to FELLINI'S SATYRICON which was a contemporary picture of this. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT take on roughly the same culture, set in different eras. Wonder if Chuck would have worked with Freddie. Woulda been different!
I thought that this was good until I saw the same scene done by Marlon Brando. In light of Brando's ability, Heston is barely passable. Brando does it so much better. His portrayal is effortless, whereas Heston's is stilted and lifeless. Heston looks like he's auditioning for a high school version of Julius Caesar.
I agree that Brando is much better. However, auditioning for a high school version of Julius Caesar is not a description that would have occurred to me, but to me his delivery here sounds pretty much like how he delivers dozens of lines in Ben Hur and Planet of the Apes. Though in those movies, the standard Heston - slow, contemplative, works well with the material. Here it seems to be at odds with the power of the moment. And Brando's facial expressions are much more natural and his emotion crescendos in both face and voice in with such a smooth and seamless escalation that by the time he reaches the word "Havoc", I find myself shaken by his intensity. By contrast, Heston's eyes sliding back and forth to the corners seems like the wrong choice, and that especially to me is what akes it seem stilted, just as you said.
somehow these will always be said of men after their deaths no mater what it is that they have done in life!
General Chang
John Gielgud was extremely miscast as Caesar. Chuck, though, did a surprisingly great job with Marc Antony.
They cut out the best parts
Hindsight being 20-20, the Senate really should have offed Caesar's enablers too.
It was wrong to kill Caesar...
@@canconservative8976 It really depends on who you asked. His nephew Octavian and Marc Antony might have been pretty mad, but the senators were sure the safety of the republic's institutuons were in that much danger.
@@TooLateForIeago and his Nephew craftily completed the reform to dictatorship without calling himself a dictator... so what did the murder accomplish....and why wouldn't Pompeii as co-consul with Caesar share the known world, it wasn't enough for him and his crooked rich backing senators?
This is a very well discussed segment of history.... all the politics of Rome for that matter.
@@TooLateForIeago The bestowed octavian title was the republics plee during the first prime made again, for the salvation of the republic, during the what would be called the attic wars....
In doing so this allowed the idiocy to be amended and the system to exist, thusly the naval of the time lost a greater part of it during the times of human faliabity and corruption to the toils of simple trinkets gold and nonsense rather then the works. To this da,y we are now at odds and searched ansought to be killed by the dogs of the system.. The dogs of these wars... Tricksters adn liars, all in whihc entrap and lie ot enthrone the world and thensemvle,s never a means ot be what is to builda civilisation.. To this age.. a marvel of defeats adn deay worthless... old knowledge... Virtue.. what virtue is their when the dogs simply want their fill of lusts. So we get the age of whoredom, with men and women alike taking upon leashes and all manner ofsexual perverse... in their state of mental tranquility of supremacy over otehrs.. virtue.. virtue.. we see to which hte dogs have been to capsulate and commit the greatest travesty... teh human tragedy... What good is it when men so conviently destroy al lthat which is good, mislead and lie, and do as they would like a worthless pig ina troph or animal... Liberty they speak. waht libert y is a ma ntrapped in his iamgiantion of how it should be, look at them and their toxins and neuro toxins as the devils feed and take upon the skins of men to then further erode waht sanctity of cilvity is what left. Look at them. new world order. New this.. nothign new but the dogs in which consume.. for their arts are twisted and as perverse as it ever was in teh dawn of the day they oculd but read and write, but atlrst now we can see their plight.
Travesty.. Tragedy... what be yokes a millest song. of a lost time that for a time correct teh wrongs...
Caesar.. was their saviour and lord and they but bismerked and fattened themselves adn went away into their own voiltions being aprt of the world of lies and illusions, and even now its the ocnclusion they speak of history of tings given but not read adn so they go in erro to where they tread. they devour and attacka nd stomp upon al lthey can of which was the noblest things before teh dawn...
so they take what little light there is but left, and the darkness of men, stomp it out as ut was left. I say. Set the world on fire.. to their woes and errors. and ignorance, but still yet they pride tehmselves intehir theft.
Suport caesar.. support the OCtavian support what it is to be am an.. to be al eader.. to be but one thing.. great... but ... the garbage of this earth is but hte dirt... if withotu a sword we all know that hte weakness in all humans in their character that think and thought that things of what they do cannot be seen, but they do not know that all thigns of this cold dark rock is all known, to the furthest reaches of all things... to which they do and ignroe and happy and delight in their ignorance, attack the most noble of men.. in teh night.. to fill and feast liek teh savages they are.. .cave dwellers killing all , look at their writings nad lies. converting nad using psyhcology to others demise, forcing nad conscripting misleading and not teaching, confiscating and taking, merchants and lies... tis ever ina land of which is persecution made wrought na one is trapped within its cabble taught, to which one seeks to escape but acannot and thusfinds rot.

Cry havoc and let slip the hogs of war.
Dogs of war.
Whatever farm animal of war Lana!
Shut up!
His eye movements don't strike me as the right choice for this speech. It almost makes it seem as though he is trying to remember his lines every time he slides his eyes upward to the left. Brando's version is both much more natural, and much more powerful.
Who let the dogs out, j-pat-g that's who, mystery solved.
Classic
0:03-0:09 hi jason. hi robert. hi michael.
The music has really not needed. At all.
He would have been better playing Brutus.
"Gun"
Am I the only one who thinks that he’s better than Brando?
yelp , He was not that good and most people think him good for his PRO REPUBLICAN they can take my gun away from my cold dead hands , and like John Wayne was actually a terrible human being .
comparing two who so transcend compare it cannot be done.
I found this more emotional and the other more powerful. Each better than the other in its own way.
@@LucidStew
I can see where you’re coming from I think there is more than a stylistic difference. Brando sounds like he’s giving a passionate speech to an audience. Heston sounds like he’s speaking to his dead friend. The scene is meant to be played as the later even though it is reality the former.
@@larrysheetmetal Charlton Heston and John Wayne were terrible human beings because they had different political views than you? How sad your life must be.
Not Brando... But excellent
Let slop the hogs of war
He sounds upset.
J Peterman?
Is that Leonard Nimoy at 8 seconds in, or are my eyes deceiving me?
No. Yes. Full cast list at IMDB. Mostly British apart from Heston and Robards.
He shall be avenged.
Christopher Plummer said it better
BRANDON FUE SUPERIOR EN ESTA INTERPRETACIÓN
Que verdad!
Si
Se llama BRANDO, no Brandon. Ni que fuera Tepiteño.
It's " Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war ." DOGS, not HOGS.
@@faded4698 mala mía perdón 🙏🙏
Generally I prefer Brando’s Antony but this scene is owned by Charlton Heston
Taylor: "I want to kiss you Zira".
Zira: "OK. But you are so...damn ugly".
Not as good as Brando's version. There's too much anger in Heston's version, Brando mixes it with anguish and despair.
But first let me hit that rock with a stick!!!!!!!
I came here from watching Marlon Brando recite the same scene, not in the same league.
Agreed!
Yeah, Brando was over dramatic.
Marlon Brando's delivery was powered by unfettered wrath, whereas Charleton Heston's was more menacing. Heston had more gravitas and Brando had more bravado. Both deliveries are legendary.
@@johnl1091 I like your middle ground take, the book says blessed are the peacemakers...
@@JACKnJESUS Mr Heston is a legendary actor. His performance here I found lethargic, at least compared to Mr Brando's. But each to his own. We are greatful to Mr Shakespeare for the great lines, and all them actors who have made attempts at bringing the scene to life.
What a ham. Shakespeare's words doing the heavy lifting here. Limp and fraudulent compared to Brando's version.
Better than Marlon Brando's version.
LOL nope
@@jamesevans2507 It's different. Not better in my opinion. Brando was an elemental fury. You felt the pain, anguish the desire for revenge and the anger, and sorrow.
@@leftcoaster67 That's fair. And I liked his look more for the part.
@Mark Johnson Sorry but Brando was better
@@jamesevans2507 Nope.
The soundtrack ruined the speech. Marlon Brando’s deliverance of this speech is far more powerful and I say that as a true Heston fan.
General Chang said it better.
Wayne's World 2 really showed the difference: czcams.com/video/6eWsFFQP0gA/video.html
Good but no Brando.
Love Heston, but Brando did it better.
This is a very abbreviated version of the speech.
Putin didn't say this before sending his troops into Ukraine, but I heard it in my mind.
Brandon was a better actor, but CH does this scene better - he has the voice for it.
That's BRANDO, and Brando and Heston were both fine actors. Brando's is especially great because Shakesperean acting was out of his comfort zone, and he nailed it. But Heston is seething with quiet fury.
Good film actor but Shakespeare not so much. The ‘53 version corrected the mistakes in this one.
It's a bit too overly theatrical for my taste.
