they're gonna make like biggie and throw the keys to lil' cease.
if Antony and Vorenus had been present, would have been a whole different ballgame… assassins honestly so cowardly and weak they wouldn't have even dared try… I mean obviously that's why they made sure to draw those two away, so it could be one unarmed man against a bunch of guys who all have knives😠
shame, you guys cut most of that really good shot of bloodied senate floor with Caesar's body and all the senators standing and sitting around (well, think it's just Brutus sitting)
This is by far the best interpretation of Brutus and Caesar I've ever seen dude.
The newsreader is a character worthy of a separate show.
I don't usually make suggestions, but your reactions have me curious about what you would make of *Gomorrah*, the modern Italian mob series based on journalist Roberto Savianos work about the Camorra (he's still under police protection). For me, it's an underrated masterpiece, but I think it might be a challenging watch for anyone who holds seriously by moral codes – 'honour among thieves' there is none. If you don't mind the subtitles, maybe something for 2025.
Imagine the historical consequences if Caesar wasn’t killed…
Yes, Vorenus WAS going to kill Niobe. His rage and his sense of honor demanded it. And it would have destroyed him. She knew this and as her final act of love for him, she took that choice away.
For your information , if you didn't know , Pullo means chicken in Roman and there was a real famous soldier called by that name
season two is pretty good stuff too with one of the coolest , smoothest assassination ever
You're going to watch season 2, right? You've got to. You'll love it. On top of that though, after you're done PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE….watch I' Claudius..It's the father of the modern long form historical TV Drama. It's 12 or 13 episodes and ROME is basically its prequel. About what happens starting about 20 years after the end of ROME Season 2 to about 75 years after that covering all 5 of the Julio/Claudian Emperors starting with Augustus (Octavian) . Anyway…you'd love it. My 2c.
So glad you guys are watching ROME ! Next to The Sopranos it is my all time favorite show.
season 2 episode 1 tops all. A lot of action and surprises
He says "Et tu, Brute?" with his eyes. Great acting.
my day is complete 🤷♀🙂
ps: "kalends of february" maybe because february comes before march and "ides of march" represent the misfortune due to the day of Caesar's murder ( march 15)
Caesar was stabbed 23 times, with most of the wounds being superficial. Brutus was the last and in real life he stabbed Caesar through the groin area, probably because he slept with his mother for so many years. Caesar pulls his robe over his face and dies at the feet of Pompeii's statue.
One the people that killed Caesar was actually named in his will as one of his primary heirs.
Enjoying the journey,thanks.
10:05 This is a VERY important scene. Caesar is breaking down how politics works in a very simple and direct manner. If you ever wonder why politicians and public figures are never punished and always seem to get ahead, be promoted, or come out on top, it's because of this saying: "Because I cannnot punish you, I must reward you…else I shall seem weak." Incompetence, disobedience, and self-interested politicians and businessmen nearly always come out rewarded–because for one reason or another, they can't be "punished" because there will be blow back. So you have two options: punish…or reward. It was true in Caesar's time, and it's true now.
11:21 yes Caesar was an enlightened dictator but a dictator nonetheless, it was just a way for him to stack the senate with his own power base, loyal and grateful to him for the newfound status and power and a way to weaken his enemies at the same time.
Also amazing reaction, please start season 2 right away, the greatness keeps coming, thank you for your reactions !
This is still HBOs best show
ya gotta hawk tuah that porridge she knows
Season 2 Boys!!!!
You gents do top-notch reactions:) Can’t wait for S2.
at least angry husband cant get MORE angry, right?
charlie murphy: …..ah? ….ha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brutus was the final person who stabbed Caesar then he died…they didn't do the "et tu brute" line though.
“Et tu, Brute?”. The writers flipped Shakespeare to have Brutus say it to his mother (“you too, mother?”) instead of Caesar saying it to Brutus.
Brilliant writing!😎😁
You guys have a great roster of movies, but too many bad movie edits … check out Reel Rejects edits and compare one of theirs to one of your movies like Sicario… I hate TV series, so won’t watch, but you have an interesting roster … too many reactors have no Movie knowledge and horror and Sci- fi or the same good movies
Here are some you should include…
CRIMSON TIDE
SAFE HOUSE
DEJA VU (2009)
TENET
I AM LEGEND
SPY GAME
COWBOYS AND ALIENS
HEAT
BLACK DIAMONDS
DEPARTED
SEE YA AT THE MOVIES !
Watch or React to History Buffs channel;'s video of Rome Season I. Really goes into the history, Excellent video.
Cicero talking to Caesar is like Paul Reiser (who played Carter Burke in the movie Aliens) saying, "You can't make Vorenus a Senator! He's just a Grunt… No offence!"
The King is dead. Long live the King!
Marrying a rich old man in roman times in retrospect was a really good outcome for a woman, the husband could just die quickly and after the wife had performed her duties bringing her sons and daughters she was pretty much free to do as she wanted as a matron, especially if the husband was rich and from an important family. She could refuse further marriages and had full control over the manor or even have lovers, like Atia of the Julii or Servillia of the Junii. Meanwhile she will become an influential woman and have political power through her sons. There was a famous matron in Rome, so respected and virtuous that she rejected several marriage proposals from foreign kings from far away as Egypt
they always had a bigger, higher level than everyone else senator – let us know
The position that you are looking for is Consul [HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME]. Every year citizens of the Roman Republic would elect (messy things elections) two Consuls to share supreme executive power and lead the senate for a year. Like Sith lords there were always two consuls together – an attempt to try and prevent tyrannical abuse of power.
So the line about trusting fortune to protect him was part of Ceasars mystic he won so much he said that anyone who kills me will be struck down by fortune herself. If he actually was a believer in the god of luck or just a way to praise himself for years without being egotistical
Angry husband wasn't loyal to Caesar just from the come up. It was the oath he took when he joined the 13th. The oath superseded all his personal beliefs.
the covering of the face was becuase it was shameful he did so to preserve his dignity. Vorrenas may have killed her to preserve his family name and honor he could also kill all of his legit kids to distance himself from the shame of the union. vorenas was very conservative and would have followed the ideology of Titis Manlius on what the perfect roman man should do.
Don't worry about Anthony and Octavian, get back will be had.
The killing of Julius Caesar is a quintessential group project: 70 conspirators, 23 stabs and just 3 of them lethal. And some of the stabs were post-mortem, guys literally adding theirs after the deed.
Angry husband number 1 – living up to the name in full.
This has been great because I haven't watched this series in at least 10 years. In my opinion season 2 hits even harder than this one and I love this season.
im so hyped for season 2 😀
great story, great actors, should have drawn it out to 10 seasons….
soft spoiler:
"STEP AWAY FROM MY CHAIR!!" xD ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Told you this would have your heads spinning!!🤣🤣🤣Season 2 continue with Luscious VORENUS and Titus PULLO! This is how the real Caesar died he was stabbed in the Senate and by Brutis If you haven't figured it out Vorenus and Pullo are the two main characters of both Series. Romans would not kill a guest in their homes. Your right this the basis for the entire Western World. Much of our laws, traditions and politics came from the Roman Empire.The Senate has to elect a new Counsel now.
