Caesar Must Die Page #2

Synopsis: In Rebibbia Prison in Italy, its inmate theatre program puts on a well received production of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. The film goes back several months earlier as the coordinators announces the play as the program's production of the year. With that project set, we see its creation as the cast is auditioned and selected for this artistic challenge. As they rehearse, the prisoners, many of whom are long termers and lifers for serious crimes, find that the classic play has both a striking resonance and contrast to their confined lives.

- A bit less.

- I'm here. Who's looking for me?

- Silence, all of you.

Let him approach.

Excuse me, but I don't have a dialect.

I'm a citizen of the world.

Do you want to see America?

Let's go to New Zealand.

Maori. All Blacks haka dance.

Well done.

That's enough, thank you.

Let him approach and let him speak.

Caesar is available for everybody.

Caesar!

Caesar!

In your glory and your splendor,

beware the ides of March.

- What does he want from me?

- He's a magician, a soothsayer.

Bring him over,

I want to look him in the eyes

Come out, comrade.

Emerge from the flock.

That thing you said,

tell it to my face now.

Fabio, in my town the soothsayers

are all a little bit crazy.

- Can I do it this way?

- Yes.

Caesar, in your splendor

and your glory,

the ides of March

tell you a story.

Take him away, but treat him

compassionately. Don't kill him.

At this point,

Caesar walks away with his escort.

Cassius and Brutus remain

alone and isolated.

They say some essential

things at the beginning of the play.

What was it, Brutus?

I've been watching you for a while.

I'm digging and digging... But where's

that old fondness towards your friend?

Have you forgotten me or am I mistaken?

What was it, Brutus?

What?

I've been watching you for a while.

I'm digging and digging...

But where's

that old fondness towards your friend?

Have you forgotten me?

Maybe I'm mistaken?

What are you saying, Cassius?

Poor Brutus has put on a gloomy face

because...

Because in his soul a fierce war broke

out between the heart and the mind.

Look me in the eye.

You can see the field and the battle...

that's going on inside me.

Listen to your true friend.

Find the strength.

Look yourself in the mirror,

and you'll see the soul of a noble man.

A man that all the Romans need.

What are you trying to say?

Cassius, are you trying

to get me into trouble?

Trust me, my gentle friend,

like I trust you.

Don't trust him.

Look where trusting people got me.

Caesar!

Look!

Listen!

The people are presenting Caesar...

The kingly crown!

You are afraid of him.

What should I think?

That even you don't want...

No, I don't!

Even if I hold Caesar very dear..

Look! Look what

he's doing! What a fake!

Anthony is offering him the

crown in front the entire nation!

And he refuses it!

Look, he's pushing it away

with the back of his hand!

Look! Anthony is offering

him the crown again. Three times!

Striano, you shouldn't

look out the window.

Brutus doesn't want to see.

You must find a different position.

You choose.

I found it.

OK.

Go ahead, Cassius.

Caesar is uncertain.

Should he take it or not?

He can't wait to put it on his head.
